PITT (2-0, 0-0 ACC) vs. WESTERN MICHIGAN (1-1, 0-0 MAC)

Heinz Field (68,400/Natural Grass) • Pittsburgh, Pa.
RSN • Pitt Panthers Radio Network
Game Storylines
• Pitt hosts Western Michigan in the first-ever meeting between the two schools. A win over the Broncos would give the Panthers a 3-0 start for the second consecutive year and fifth time since 2000.
• Pitt is coming off a stirring 41-34 victory at SEC foe Tennessee. The Panthers have now won five of their past six games dating back to the 2020 season. In those five victories, Pitt has averaged 42.8 points per game.
• The Panthers have 92 points in two games this year (46.0 avg.). It is Pitt's highest point total after two games since 2014, when it also had 92 points over the initial two contests.
• Kenny Pickett, Pitt's fourth all-time leading passer with 8,541 yards, needs just 57 to eclipse Dan Marino (8,597 from 1979-82) for second place. Alex Van Pelt (1989-92) is the career leader with 11,267.
• With his one-yard scoring run at Tennessee, Kenny Pickett now has 16 career rushing touchdowns, tying the Pitt record for a quarterback. Pickett tied Rick Trocano's (1977-80) long-standing mark.
• The Pitt pass rush perennially ranks among the nation's best. The Panthers compiled 97 sacks over the 2019-20 seasons, the highest total in the country over those two years. Pitt has 10 sacks through two games this year.
• Pitt has three fumble recoveries, tops among ACC teams and 10th nationally. Keyshon Camp, Habakkuk Baldonado and Erick Hallett II have one each.
• Since 2015, Pat Narduzzi has directed Pitt to 29 victories in ACC play, the fourth-highest win total during that span. The Panthers trail only Clemson (46), Miami (32) and Virginia Tech (30).
