PITTSBURGH -- The No. 19 Pitt Panthers battle their rival in the Syracuse Orange in primetime on ESPN at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 24 at Acrisure Stadium.

The depth chart remains the same as prior the Cal game in Week 7, even with certain players leaving that game with an injury.

Panthers Left guard Sixth year Ryan Jacoby and left tackle Branson Taylor both departed from the game vs. the Golden Bears early on, forcing sixth year Jason Collier Jr. and redshirt junior Terrence Enos Jr. to play left guard and left tackle, respectively.

Head coach Pat Narduzzi said that sophomore linebacker Rasheem Biles will return for this matchup after missing the Cal game. Biles and fellow sophomore Braylan Lovelace will split snaps at the Money linebacker spot.
