PSN Poll Question: Biggest Individual Storyline From Pitt’s 3-0 Start
The No. 24-ranked Pitt Panthers will look to remain undefeated this Saturday as they host NC State (1-1) for a noon kickoff at Heinz Field.
Their 3-0 start is the first time they’ve accomplished this under Pat Narduzzi and only the 5th time since 1990, the last being in 2014 under Paul Chryst. The Panthers will be favorites in the next 2 games so they have a legitimate chance to start the 2020 season with a record of 5-0.
To this point, the Panthers dominating defense is the reason for the quick start but they’ve also had some interesting individual storylines. How about the defense playing this well without All-American defensive tackle Jaylen Twyman and starting cornerback Damarri Mathis or the dominating duo of Rashad Weaver and Patrick Jones or the performance of true freshman Jordan Addison?
Our PSN Poll Question is which of those has been the biggest story line of Pitt’s season?

Their depth on D-Line, and at the wide receiver position is impressive. They have also upgraded at team speed.
All great points Joe…The speed on defense really stands out
I would say just how dominant the defense had been in general. We knew they’d be good but this is like national championship Alabama level good. I also don’t know if I’d refer to Addison as a phenom yet. That’s a bit strong.
The depth on defense is what’s impressive to me. They have players on the 2nd team that are capable of starting and playing well which is a great sign for the future.
Biggest storyline is how the offense still can’t score touchdowns against FBS competition, even with continuity at QB and on the OL. If it doesn’t change this PITT team will not reach its potential.
No question that they need to start scoring more TD’s instead of FG’s, especially when the competition improves in 3 weeks.
