GAME PREVIEW
Sep 29, 2020Pittsburgh coach Pat Narduzzi often finds himself defending the amount of team speed on his roster. But there's no doubt so far this season that the Panthers have been on the fast track. No. 24 Pitt will try to keep that going Saturday afternoon against visiting North Carolina State in an Atlantic Coast Conference clash at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. "I don't think we're slow," Narduzzi said. "We recruit, too. We try to get fast guys, too. Obviously, our guys were faster than their guys (from Louisville) last week. " Playing their fourth straight home game, the Panthers (3-0, 2-0 ACC) are gunning for their first 4-0 start since 2000. NC State (1-1, 1-1) is in the middle contest of a three-game stretch of road outings after tumbling Saturday night at Virginia Tech. Narduzzi said he likes the speed available on his offense, and it's clear that Pittsburgh's defenders have been pursuing the ball at a high rate. "No one is going to question our effort," he said. While Pittsburgh would like to keep things mostly the same, there could be changes for the Wolfpack. NC State already has created conversation because of its quarterbacks. Bailey Hockman was the surprise starter in the first game after Devin Leary missed significant preseason practice time due to coronavirus quarantine. Hockman and Leary are both listed as potential starters for the Pittsburgh game, though it's highly anticipated that Leary will get the nod as he was the projected starter at the outset of the summer work. "We need them both," NC State coach Dave Doeren said. "They're both going to get reps this week, and we'll see who is the most ready to lead our team. " Hockman's hot first-half start from the opener against Wake Forest has fizzled since then. Leary was summoned in the third quarter of the second game, completing 12 of 16 passes and doubling the passing yardage (165 to 82) that Hockman produced against the Hokies. The rushing attack that sparked NC State in the first game didn't find traction against Virginia Tech, though running back Zonovan Knight has gained more than 90 yards on the ground in both games. NC State's defense has been a trouble spot through two games. The Wolfpack survived the glitches in a 45-42 win over the Demon Deacons, but Virginia Tech had too much to overcome in a 45-24 loss. "It's a long season and it's a lot of opportunities in front of us," Doeren said. The Wolfpack were not at full strength on defense, with linebacker Payton Wilson, who led the team in tackles a year ago, missing the Virginia Tech game along with defensive backs Teshaun Smith and Tanner Ingle. Wilson could be back for the Pittsburgh game, though Smith is lost for the season after shoulder surgery. Malik Dunlap will draw a starting role at one of NC State's cornerback spots. Pittsburgh's defense has provided highlights. Among those supplying some of the big plays is end Patrick Jones II, who posted three of the team's seven sacks in Saturday's 23-20 win against Louisville. "North Carolina State is going to come out and gap protect. Probably they're going to sprint out to get away from our pressure," Narduzzi said. "Defending on whether they have Hockman or Leary in there, we don't know which quarterback we're going to face. I expect to see both of those guys looking at that offense. " NC State's defense had success pressuring the quarterback in the Wake Forest game, registering six sacks in that outing. This is only the second NC State-Pittsburgh meeting since the Panthers joined the ACC in 2013. NC State won 35-17 in 2017 in a game also contested in Pittsburgh. "I haven't forgotten that game," Narduzzi said. --Field Level Media

GAME RECAP
Oct 03, 2020PITTSBURGH Devin Leary hit Emeka Emezie for the go-ahead touchdown with 23 seconds remaining and North Carolina State stunned No. 24 Pittsburgh 30-29 on Saturday. Leary, making his first start of the season, drove the Wolfpack 79 yards in 12 plays, the final 13 coming on a perfect back-shoulder throw to Emezie, who made a perfect spinning grab to give N. C. State its first victory over a ranked team since 2017. Leary finished 28 of 44 for 336 yards and four touchdowns, including two in the fourth quarter to put N. C. State (2-1, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) in front. Kenny Pickett threw for a career-high 411 yards and a touchdown and added two more on the ground, including a go-ahead score with 1:44 to play. Still, Pitt's bid to start 4-0 for the first time since 2000 ended when Leary picked apart the nation's top-ranked defense with the game on the line. The Panthers (3-1, 2-1) allowed 398 yards, nearly 180 more than they had allowed coming in. Leary found Thayer Thomas to convert a 4th-and-9 at the Pitt 23. A holding penalty on the Panthers - their 13th of the day - moved the Wolfpack to the 13 and Leary and Emezie did the rest. Pickett completed 21 of 37 passes and added 40 yards rushing while often the only option in a running game that was non-existent at times. He scored twice from a yard out in the second half, including the game-winner on a remarkable effort in which he stretched the ball over the goal line after initially getting stopped. It figured to be enough against a Wolfpack team that ran out of gas last week while getting rolled on the road at Virginia Tech. Instead Leary, slowed during camp due to COVID-19, calmly stared down a defense that led the nation in yards allowed and sacks during an impressive start. BIG PICTUREN. C. State: The Wolfpack entered the season needing a jolt following a disappointing 4-8 mark in 2019. The first two weeks - an escape against Wake Forest and a dismal loss to the Hokies - provided little in that department. A road win over a team that considers itself an ACC contender should provide one. Pitt: The program that finds a way to stub its toe annually managed to do it again in the fourth quarter when the Wolfpack when the length of the field twice to win. Pitt's defense is good enough to keep the Panthers in every game. The offense's inability to get into the end zone regularly, however, will allow opponents to do the same. POLL IMPLICATIONSThe Panthers weren't particularly pleased after they dropped from No. 21 to No. 24 last week when teams from the Big Ten were allowed to re-enter the rankings. There won't be much discussion this time around. UP NEXTN. C. State: Travels to Virginia next Saturday. The Wolfpack won the previous meeting between the schools 35-21 in 2018. Pitt: Hits the road for the first time next weekend when the Panthers play at Boston College. The Eagles are quarterbacked by Pittsburgh native and Notre Dame transfer Phil Jurkovec. ---More college football: https://apnews. com/Collegefootball and https://twitter. com/-Top25
