• Pitt's Ejuan Price is making a strong case for All-America and ACC Defensive Player of the Year honors. The senior defensive end leads the entire nation in quar-terback sacks (7.5) and tackles for loss (11.5). Price has logged at least one sack in each contest this season.

• The Panthers boast one of col-lege football's most dangerous all-purpose players in Quadree Henderson. The sophomore wide receiver leads the nation in total all-purpose yards (tied) with 937. Henderson's average of 187.4 yards per game leads the ACC and ranks ifth nationally.

RECORD BREAKING CROWD FOR THE RIVALRY Prior to this season, it had been 16 long years since Pitt and Penn State met on the football ield. The historic rivalry was renewed on Sept. 10 and an over low crowd at Heinz Field was treated to argu-ably the most thrilling contest in the history of the series. The Panthers defeated Penn State, 42-39, in front of 69,983 fans, the largest crowd to ever attend a sporting event in the city of Pitts-burgh. Interestingly, the prior mark was also a Pitt football game. On Oct. 29, 1938, the Panthers defeated Fordham, 24-13, with 68,918 in attendance at Pitt Stadium.

BLUE & GOLD RALLY CAPSSince the 2002 season, Pitt has won 26 games with second-half come-backs. Most recently, the Panthers rallied past host Syracuse, 23-20, on Oct. 24, 2015, after entering the fourth quarter trailing, 17-13. Chris Blewitt provided the winning points when he kicked a 25-yard ield goal as time expired. The Syracuse victory marked the irst time

since 2009 that Pitt rallied to win when facing a fourth-quarter de i-cit. The Panthers previously had not overcome a de icit in the inal period since Dec. 26, 2009, when they defeated North Carolina, 19-17, in the Meineke Car Care Bowl.

OFFENSIVE NOTESSCORING OUTBURST

Over its last four contests, Pitt has scored a combined 159 points, an average of 39.75 points per game. It is the Panthers' highest point total over a four-game stretch in 10 years. The 2006 season was the last time a Pitt team scored more over a four-game span. That year the Panthers compiled 169 points in victories over The Citadel (51-6), Toledo (45-3), Syracuse (21-11) and UCF (52-7), an average of 42.25 points per game.

TIME MANAGEMENTPitt has dominated its opponents in time of possession this season, averaging 35:25 per game to rank ninth nationally and second in the ACC. The Panthers have won the time of possession battle in four of their ive games this year. The lone exception was the season opener when Villanova edged Pitt by a mere 17 seconds (30:17 to 29:43).

PITT GAME NOTES & ANECDOTES

JAMES CONNER: HE'S BACKWhen Pitt opened the season against Villanova on Sept. 3, it had been 364 days since James Conner ran onto the Heinz Field turf to play a game for the Panthers. During that nearly year-long absence, Conner defeated Hodgkin lymphoma and rehabilitated a signi icant knee injury. Conner's return has been nothing short of remarkable. He cur-rently leads the Panthers in rushing (381 yards on 90 carries) and scoring (42 points on seven touchdowns). In 2015, Conner appeared in only one game—the opener against Youngstown State—due to a torn medial collateral ligament in his right knee. Conner sustained the injury in the second quarter against YSU. He had entered the season as one of college football’s most decorated players. In 2014 Conner was selected the ACC Player of the Year after rushing for 1,765 yards and 26 touchdowns. He was named to seven postseason All-America squads as a sophomore, including irst-team honors from the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA). Conner was the irst Pitt running back to garner irst-team All-America honors in 27 years, dating back to Craig “Ironhead” Heyward in 1987.

CONNER'S RUSHING TD STREAKJames Conner has scored a rushing touchdown in 13 consecu-tive games. It is the longest streak in Pitt history, erasing a nearly century-old mark set by George McLaren, who had a rushing TD in 10 consecutive games over the 1916-17 seasons. Conner's streak of rushing TDs is the longest among all active Bowl Subdivision players.

CONNER’S CENTURY RUSHING GAMESJames Conner has rushed for at least 100 yards 13 times in his Pitt career, including eight in which he had more than 150 yards and four 200-yard games.

JESTER'S BIG NIGHTJester Weah was a catalyst in the Panthers' 43-27 win over Marshall (Oct. 1) by producing the highest receiving yardage by a Pitt player in 12 years. The junior compiled 176 yards on seven catches—both career highs—and made the game's decisive play when he beat a de-fender for a 54-yard touchdown to put Pitt up by 10 with 1:04 left. His receiving yardage was the most by a Pitt player since Nov. 6, 2004, when Greg Lee had 188 yards (on nine catches) at Syracuse. On the season, Weah leads Pitt in receiving yards (313) and touch-down catches (three). His average of 22.36 yards per reception ranks 14th in the country and third in the ACC.

The return of the Pitt-Penn State rivalry after a 16-year hiatus proved to be worth the wait as the Panthers triumphed in front of the largest crowd to ever attend a sporting event in Pittsburgh...James Conner rushed for 117 yards and scored two TDs and cornerback Ryan Lewis intercepted a Penn State pass in the end zone with 1:15 left to seal the 42-39 victory...behind a pounding rushing attack that produced 341 yards, Pitt (2-0) achieved its highest point total ever against Penn State...the 81 combined points also marked a series high...Pitt scored touchdowns on four of its irst ive possessions to build a 28-7 lead...Penn State (1-1) would rally to within single-digits four times in the second half and was poised to take the lead when it reached the Pitt 31 with under two minutes to play...that’s when Lewis ended the threat, and the game, by intercepting Trace McSorley’s pass to the end zone...Nathan Peterman threw three TDs for Pitt, including a 12-yard shovel pass to Conner that put the Panthers up 42-31 with 10:24 left...the Panthers caused four PSU turnovers, with Ejuan Price forcing two fumbles and Mike Caprara posting two recoveries.

Pitt could not contain a lethal Oklahoma State passing attack in a 45-38 loss in Stillwater...Cowboys quarterback Mason Rudolph was 26 of 46 for 540 yards and two touchdowns, while wide receiver James Washington hauled in nine receptions for an incredible 296 yards and two TDs....despite those proli ic numbers, Pitt was deadlocked with OSU, 38-38, entering the fourth quarter...but at the 12:55 mark of the inal period, play was suspended for nearly two hours due to lightning...when action resumed, it was eventually Rudolph who would make the decisive play—an 86-yard pass to Jhajuan Seales—that put Oklahoma State at the Pitt 1...on the next play, Rennie Childs rushed in for the game-winning score, his fourth TD of the game, with 1:28 left...Pitt had one last chance, advancing to the OSU 45-yard line, but Nathan Peterman was intercepted by Ramon Richards with 15 seconds left to seal the result...James Conner rushed for 111 yards and a touchdown in the loss for Pitt (2-1)...it was the inaugural meet-ing between the Panthers and Cowboys (2-1).

2016 GAME-BY-GAME REVIEW

Pitt’s frustrations against North Carolina continued with a 37-36 de-feat in the ACC opener for both teams…it was the Panthers’ fourth consecutive loss to the Tar Heels…Pitt fell to 0-5 all-time in games played in Chapel Hill…this one was particularly heartbreaking as Pitt held a 13-point lead with under six minutes to play…North Caroli-na would rally behind the arm of quarterback Mitch Trubisky, who threw for 453 yards and ive touchdowns… Trubisky threw two TDs to Bug Howard in the inal 5:24, including a two-yard score with two seconds left…Nick Weiler’s extra-point kick provided the winning margin and gave North Carolina (3-1, 1-0) its irst and only lead of the game…the winning march was a 17-play, 63-yard drive that in-cluded three fourth-down conversions…Pitt (2-2, 0-1) piled up 281 rushing yards, led by a 107-yard effort from Quadree Henderson…the Panthers, however, went three-and-out on their inal two posses-sions, opening the door for the Tar Heels’ rally.

2016 GAME-BY-GAME REVIEW

Pitt bolted to a 27-0 intermission lead and then held off Marshall’s furious second-half rally to notch a 43-27 victory at Heinz Field…the Panthers’ huge halftime advantage was sliced to 30-27 with four min-utes remaining in the game…trying to burn the clock and facing a 3rd-and-3 at the Pitt 46, Nathan Peterman connected with Jester Weah on a 54-yard touchdown with 1:04 remaining to essentially seal the result…Avonte Maddox would complete the scoring with a 33-yard interception return on the game’s inal play…it was the second “pick six” of Maddox’s career (Louisville, 2015)…Peterman completed 74% of his passes (17 of 23) for a career-high 280 yards and two touch-downs…Weah compiled 176 yards on seven receptions, an average of 25.1 yards per catch…his receiving yardage was the highest by a Pitt player since 2004 (Greg Lee, 188 yards vs. Syracuse)…freshman tailback Chawntez Moss rushed for 97 yards on 12 carries (8.1 avg.) as Pitt netted 252 on the ground and 532 total yards…Ejuan Price had two sacks for 24 yards in losses…it was the irst-ever meeting between Pitt (3-2) and Marshall (1-3).
