What you need to know about Pittsburgh
Pitt was able to grind out a solid win over the Clemson Tigers on Saturday, winning 27-17. Pitt’s QB Kenny Pickett passed for two touchdowns and 302 yards. The Panthers were also boosted by their defense as Sirvocea Dennis had a 50-yard interception return for a touchdown to give Pitt a double-digit lead it would never give up.
Pickett’s play has inserted his name into Heisman discussion as he ranks first in the ACC and fourth in the NCAA with 23 passing touchdowns. He’s been extremely efficient as he has just one interception on the year and his passer rating of 176.1 also leads the ACC. But Pickett hasn’t had the best success against Miami, losing two of three games and posting a 1:2 touchdown-to-interception ratio.
What you need to know about Miami
Miami beat the NC State Wolfpack last Saturday by a 31-30 final. Miami quarterback Tyler Van Dyke was slinging it as he passed for four TDs and 325 yards. That was the first 300+ yard effort for Van Dyke this season.
Van Dyke has proven to be more efficient than D’Eriq King since taking over under center. Van Dyke has nine touchdowns and three interceptions compared to King who had three TDs and four INTs. The top target for any Hurricanes quarterback is receiver Charleston Rambo, who ranks fourth in the ACC in receptions (44) and eighth in receiving yards (548).
