PITTSBURGH -- The Pitt Panthers revealed their depth chart ahead of their Week 4 matchup vs. the Youngstown State Penguins at Acrisure Stadium on Sept. 21

The depth chart is unchanged from Week 3 prior to the West Virginia game, which they won 38-34 with a late comeback.

Pitt holds a 4-1 record against Youngstown State, who are the only FCS team that has defeated Pitt in their program history, when they won 31-17 on Sept. 1, 2012, the first game of head coach Paul Chryst.

The Penguins also almost defeated the Panthers in their last matchup in the 2017 season opener, getting two fourth quarter touchdowns to force overtime, but the Panthers would get a touchdown and a game-winning interception from Bricen Garner.

Pitt defeated Youngstown State 45-37 in the first game for head coach Pat Narduzzi in 2015. They also have blowout wins in 2004, 41-0, and 2009, 38-3.
