PITTSBURGH -- The Pitt Panthers dominated Syracuse in their Week 9 primetime matchup, coming out with the 41-13 victory on Oct. 24.

The Panthers put on an incredible defensive performance, forcing Orange quarterback Kyle McCord to throw five interceptions, three of which they returned for touchdowns.

This was the first time an FBS team has had three pick-sixes since USC did so on Sept. 3, 2022 vs. Rice. It is also the sixth time it's happened since the start of the 2000 season.

Panthers head coach Pat Narduzzi announced post game that redshirt senior offensive lineman Branson Taylor is out for the season. This gave redshirt junior Terrence Enos Jr. his first start at left tackle and one he'll likely hold the rest of 2024.

Sophomore linebacker, who missed the win vs. Cal back on Oct. 12 in Week 7, returned and made a pick-six on the first drive, plus led Pitt with 12 tackles (seven solo).

The Panthers gave time to a number of players with the large lead, 31-0 at halftime, allowing them to rotate some guys out. This includes redshirt freshman wide receiver in walk-on Benny Haselrig made his first collegiate appearance.

No. 18 Pitt will head out on the road to face No. 20 SMU at Gerald L. Ford Stadium in Dallas in Week 10 on Nov. 2 at 8:00 p.m. on the ACC Network.
