Overview

  • Pittsburgh piled up 503 total yards and surged to a 31-0 halftime lead at Acrisure Stadium.
  • Freshman Mason Heintschel went 30-of-41 for 323 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions, and the offense converted all three fourth-down tries.
  • The Panthers improved to 3-2 (1-1 ACC) despite missing star running back Desmond Reid, while the Eagles finished with minus-9 rushing yards.
  • BC rotated quarterbacks after Dylan Lonergan’s fumble and 89 passing yards, with Grayson James throwing an interception before Shaker Reisig directed a late touchdown drive.
  • Key BC defenders, including Quintayvious Hutchins and Bryce Steele, were out as depth issues persisted on a unit that struggled to contain Pitt’s attack.
