"The goals that we have are still in front of us, interim coach Frank Reich said. We're 3-0 at home. That means something, right? We're proud of that. We've faced some struggles, we've had some down moments, but we're 3-0 at home. So we're looking to build upon that. We know that's going to be a challenge against a good team, but we've had some other good teams come in here."
"The Panthers are coming off a 53-34 win over N.C. State in which Heintschel completed 28 of 48 passes for 423 yards the ninth-most in college football this season and Pitt's single-game passing record for a freshman. He became the only freshman in the Power Four this season to throw for 400 yards and three scores in a game. He excels at extending plays and keeping his eyes downfield."
