No. 25 Pitt overcomes mistakes, slips by Syracuse 21-10 Pittsburgh coach Pat Narduzzi watched the Panthers put together a nearly flawless practice last Tuesday, one so close to perfect that Narduzzi admitted he practically had to invent something to complain about. That won't be an issue going forward. While Narduzzi remains high on his team, No. 25 Pitt still has plenty to work on following a sloppy 21-10 win over Syracuse on Saturday. read more https://www.espn.com/college-football/recap?gameId=401234571

No. 21 Pitt's holds off No. 24 Louisville 23-20 Patrick Jones II wants No. 21 Pittsburgh's defense to be the best in the country. Not just in points allowed. Not just in yards allowed. Not just in sacks or turnovers. All of it. "We want it all," the senior defensive end said. The Panthers are certainly playing like it. Jones collected three of Pitt's seven sacks, helping the Panthers beat No. 24 Louisville 23-20 on Saturday. The win pushed Pitt (3-0, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) to its best start since 2014 and adhered to a blueprint the Panthers believe can carry them to the conference title game in December: tough, physical defense and just enough offense to get by. read more https://www.espn.com/college-football/recap?gameId=401234595

Late TD pass lifts N.C. State past No. 24 Pitt 30-29 North Carolina State head coach Dave Doeren kept waiting for quarterback Devin Leary to take a firm grasp of the starting job. Doeren knew Leary had all the tools necessary to provide some stability at a position where there's been little of it recently for the Wolfpack. At some point, Doeren figured it would all come together for the charismatic redshirt sophomore with the big arm. That point arrived in the fourth quarter on Saturday at Heinz Field against No. 24 Pittsburgh. Twice the Wolfpack needed to go the length of the field to reclaim the lead. Twice they did it, the last time coming on a 13-yard strike from Leary to Emeka Emezie with 23 seconds to go to give N.C. State a stunning 30-29 victory over the previously unbeaten Panthers. read more https://www.espn.com/college-football/recap?gameId=401234600
