""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.""
"Stanford (3-5, 2-3 ACC) plays three of its last four at home as it attempts to make a bowl game for the first time since 2018 - when it beat Pitt 14-13 in the Sun Bowl - which was the last time it won its first three home games. The team is averaging 391 yards and 26.7 points on The Farm, compared to 253 yards and 12 points on the road."
"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."
Stanford is 3-5 overall and 2-3 in the ACC, hosting three of its final four games while seeking its first bowl appearance since 2018. The Cardinal are 3-0 at home, averaging 391 yards and 26.7 points at Stanford Stadium compared to 253 yards and 12 points on the road. Pittsburgh is 6-2 and 4-1 in the ACC and 4-0 since starting freshman quarterback Mason Heintschel, who has produced a 423-yard passing game and helped the Panthers average 41.3 points per game since he took over.
