Game Storylines
• Unbeaten Pitt continues its
September tour of non-confer-
ence games by hosting Iowa of
the Big Ten. The Panthers are 3-0
for the first time since 2009 fol-
lowing a 42-25 victory at FIU. The
Hawkeyes are 2-1 after losing to
rival Iowa State, 20-17, on a field
goal with two seconds left.
• The Panthers are eyeing a 4-0
start for the first time since the
2000 season.
• Pitt sophomore tailback James
Conner is one of the nation’s most
productive ground gainers. Con-
ner leads the country in rushing
touchdowns (eight) and ranks
second in total rushing yards
(544).
• James Conner’s 544 rushing
yards are the most in the opening
three games of a season in Pitt
history. The prior mark was held
by Tony Dorsett, who had 487
yards as a freshman in the first
three games of the 1973 season.
• Conner and the Panthers will be
challenged by a rugged Iowa de-
fense that ranks sixth nationally
against the run. The Hawkeyes
are giving up just 65.7 yards on
the ground.
• Pitt is averaging 44.7 points per
game to rank 15th in the nation.
The Panthers have scored at least
30 points in each of their last five
contests dating back to the 2013
season. Iowa is yielding just 18.7
points this year.
• Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz is a gradu-
ate of nearby Upper St. Clair High
School and served as a graduate
assistant on Jackie Sherrill’s 1980
Pitt coaching staff.
• The Panthers are fielding one of
their youngest rosters in memory.
Pitt went through the preseason
with 81 underclassmen (53
freshmen and 28 sophomores),
the highest total of any Football
Bowl Subdivision (FBS) team in
the country.

√ In 2013, Paul Chryst led Pitt to a 30-27 victory
over Mid-American Conference champion Bowl-
ing Green in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl. It was
the Panthers’ first postseason win since 2010.
√ Under Chryst, tackle Aaron Donald became
Pitt’s most decorated defensive player since the
legendary Hugh Green. A 2013 unanimous All-
American, Donald was the recipient of the Bronko
Nagurski Trophy, Chuck Bednarik Award, Outland
Trophy and Rotary Lombardi Award.
√ Tyler Boyd was the nation’s most produc-
tive freshman receiver in 2013, compiling 85
catches for 1,174 yards and seven TDs. Boyd set
Pitt freshman records for receptions and yards,
eclipsing marks previously held by Larry Fitzger-
ald.
√ Pitt ranked second in the ACC with six players
on the league’s 2013 All-Academic Football Team.
√ In Chryst’s debut campaign at Pitt in 2012, the
Panthers produced a 3,000-yard passer (Tino
Sunseri, 3,288) and 1,000-yard rusher (Ray
Graham, 1,042) in the same season for the first
time ever.
√ Chryst joined Pitt following an exceptional
tenure at Wisconsin, where he earned acclaim
as one of college football’s finest teachers and
strategists. The Badgers compiled a 60-19 record
(.759) during his six seasons overseeing the of-
fense (2006-11).
√ Chryst was twice named a finalist for the pres-
tigious Broyles Award (2010 and 2011), annually
presented to college football’s top assistant.
√ In 2011, Chryst helped Wisconsin to an 11-3
record and its second consecutive Big Ten title
and Rose Bowl berth. The Badgers featured a pro-
lific offense that set no fewer than a dozen school
records, including points per game (44.1 avg.),
total offense per game (469.9 avg.), total rushing
yards (3,298) and total passing yards (3,280).
√ From 2009-11, Wisconsin achieved the Big
Ten’s best record (32-8, .800) while averaging
39.2 points per game during that span.
√ During his tenure as Wisconsin’s offensive
coordinator (2006-11), Wisconsin produced nine
first team All-Americans on offense: tackle Joe
Thomas (unanimous selection, 2006), tight end
Travis Beckum (2007), guard Kraig Urbik (2008),
tackle Gabe Carimi (unanimous selection, 2010),
tight end Lance Kendricks (consensus selection,
2010), guard John Moffitt (2010), running back
Montee Ball (2011), center Pete Konz (2011) and
guard Kevin Zeitler (2011).
√ Chryst coached three major award winners on
offense while at Wisconsin: quarterback Scott
Tolzien, who won the 2010 Johnny Unitas Golden
Arm Award (nation’s top senior quarterback),
and two Outland Trophy winners (nation’s out-
standing college lineman) in tackles Gabe Carimi
(2010) and Joe Thomas (2006).
√ Chryst’s offenses at Wisconsin produced five
Big Ten Player of the Year awards. The honorees
include running back John Clay (2009 Big Ten
Player of the Year), tackle Gabe Carimi (2010 Big
Ten Lineman of the Year), running back Montee
Ball (2011 Graham-George Big Ten Offensive
Player of the Year and Ameche-Dayne Big Ten
Running Back of the Year) and quarterback Rus-
sell Wilson (2011 Griese-Brees Big Ten Quarter-
back of the Year).
√ Under Chryst’s guidance, quarterback Rus-
sell Wilson led the nation in pass efficiency in
2011 with a staggering 191.78 rating (topping
Baylor Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin
III’s 189.48). Wilson, who is now with the Seattle
Seahawks, threw for 3,175 yards with 33 touch-
downs and only four interceptions in leading
the Badgers to the Big Ten title and a Rose Bowl
berth.
√ In addition to a potent passing game in 2011,
Chryst also oversaw a rushing attack led by first
team All-American and Heisman Trophy finalist
Montee Ball, who led the nation in total rushing
yards (1,923) and scoring (39 touchdowns and
16.71 points/game). Ball’s 39 TDs tied the NCAA
record set by Oklahoma State’s Barry Sanders in
1988.
√ In 2010, Chryst’s Wisconsin offense nearly
became the first team in FBS history to have three
different players rush for at least 1,000 yards in
the same season: James White (1,052 yards), John
Clay (1,012) and Montee Ball (996). That team
had an incredible 48 rushing touchdowns, tying
the Big Ten record.
√ Chryst was offensive coordinator and quarter-
backs coach at Oregon State during the 2003 and
‘04 seasons. The 2003 Beavers became the first
team in NCAA Division I history to have a 4,000-
yard passer (Derek Anderson), 1,500-yard rusher
(Steven Jackson) and two 1,000-yard receivers
(James Newson and Mike Hass).
√ Chryst has coached in 13 bowl games during
his collegiate career, including the 2011 and 2012
Rose Bowl games.

backs. During the 2013 campaign, the Panthers won three contests
with second-half rallies: Notre Dame (28-21), Syracuse (17-16) and
Bowling Green (30-27 in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl). From 2010-
12, the Panthers did not win a single contest when facing a second-
half deficit.

host FIU at intermission, 16-14, but rallied for a decisive 42-25 win.
Pitt trailed FIU 16-0 in the first quarter before scoring 26 unan-
swered points to seize control. The 16-point deficit was the largest
overcome by Pitt to win a game since 1996, when the Panthers ral-
lied past Temple, 53-52, after being down 19 in the fourth quarter.

CONNER’S UNPRECEDENTED START
Sophomore tailback James Conner’s 544 rushing yards are the most
in the opening three games of a season in Pitt history. The prior

games of his 1973 freshman season.
Incredibly, Conner is already only 20 yards shy of the best four-
game rushing start to a season at Pitt. Dorsett had 564 yards through
the initial four contests of ‘73.

* Little Caesars Pizza Bowl
Pitt held leads of 24-3 and 27-10 but could not stop a furious fourth-
quarter rally by Iowa as the Hawkeyes triumphed in Kinnick Stadium,
31-27…Iowa QB James Vandenberg was the sparkplug in engineering
the biggest comeback in Hawkeyes’ history…Vandenberg threw three
touchdown passes in the fourth quarter to rally from a 17-point deficit
with just over 12 minutes left…he passed for 399 yards and completed
the Hawkeyes’ rally with a 22-yard TD pass to Kevonte Martin-Manley
with 2:51 left…Pitt (2-1) led by as many as 21 points, going up 24-3 on
Tino Sunseri’s four-yard touchdown pass to Drew Carswell with 3:11
left in the third…the loss overshadowed a career day for Devin Street,
who had seven catches for 138 yards, including a 66-yard TD that put
Pitt up 7-0 in the opening quarter…LB Max Gruder had a career-high
14 tackles…the game marked Pitt’s first trip to Iowa (2-1) since the
1951 season.

PITT GAME NOTES & ANECDOTES
RARE QB 100­YARD RUSHING GAME
Sophomore quarterback Chad Voytik was a vital contributor to the
ground game in the 42-25 victory at FIU on Sept. 13. Voytik rushed
for 114 yards—including a 32-yard touchdown—on 12 carries (9.5
avg.). It was the first 100-yard rushing game by a Pitt quarterback
since 1988, when Darnell Dickerson netted 108 yards on 26 carries
(4.2 avg.).
TYLER’S TDs
Sophomore receiver Tyler Boyd has scored a touchdown in five con-
secutive games dating back to the Nov. 29, 2013, Miami game.
He has six total TDs over that stretch, including five on receptions
and one on a punt return (Bowling Green, Little Caesars Pizza Bowl).
For his 16-game career, Boyd has 13 touchdowns (11 receiving, one
rush and one return).
BOY OH BOYD
Tyler Boyd was the nation’s most productive—and spectacular—
freshman receiver last year, compiling 85 catches for 1,174 yards
(13.8 avg.) and seven touchdowns. Boyd set Pitt freshman records
for both receptions and yards, eclipsing marks previously held by
Larry Fitzgerald (69 catches for 1,005 yards in 2002). His reception
total also set an ACC freshman record, surpassing Sammy Watkins’
82 catches at Clemson in 2011.

2014 GAME-BY-GAME REVIEW
Pitt rolled to its most lopsided season-opening win in 101 years...
the 62-0 victory was Pitt’s largest in an opener since a 67-0 win over
Ohio Northern in 1913...overall it was the Panthers’ largest margin
of victory since 1977 (76-0 vs. Temple)...Pitt reached 60 points for
the first time since 1995 (a 66-30 win vs. Eastern Michigan)…James
Conner rushed for 153 yards and four TDs on 14 carries...the Pan-
thers totaled 409 rush yards and 501 total yards...the rush total was
Pitt’s highest since 1976 (444 vs. Army)…in his first career start,
QB Chad Voytik was 10 of 13 for 84 yards and threw two TDs...Pitt
notched its first shutout since a 2005 blanking of Connecticut (24-
0)...Delaware totaled only 64 yards, the lowest by a Pitt opponent
since 1981 when Cincinnati had 50 yards…Pitt improved to 12-1 all-
time vs. FCS foes.

James Conner bulled through Boston College for 214 yards and a
touchdown on 36 carries (5.9 avg.) to lift Pitt to a 30-20 win in its
ACC opener...it was Conner’s third consecutive game with more than
100 yards dating back to the 2013 Little Caesars Pizza Bowl...Pitt
rolled up 303 rushing yards and did not give up a sack...Tyler Boyd,
who dislocated a finger in the Delaware opener, had five catches for
72 yards and two TDs...his 15-yard score was a spectacular leap-
ing grab that gave Pitt the lead for good, 10-7, early in the second
quarter...Chris Blewitt accounted for 12 points, kicking field goals of
49, 42 and 41 yards...LB Anthony Gonzalez had a team-high seven
tackles and added a sack...safeties Ray Vinopal and Terrish Webb
each had INTs...Pitt (2-0, 1-0) and Boston College (1-1, 0-1) met for
the first time since Big East play in 2004...the Panthers defeated the
Eagles for the fourth consecutive time in the series.

2014 GAME-BY-GAME REVIEW
Pitt improved to 3-0 for the first time since 2009 by rallying past FIU
(1-2)…Pitt fell into a 16-0 first-quarter hole before scoring 26 unan-
swered points…the 16-point deficit was the largest overcome by Pitt
to win a game since 1996 (19-point margin vs. Temple, a 53-52 Pitt
win)…two Pitt fumbles inside the FIU 10 in the first half resulted in a
16-14 intermission lead for the hosts…James Conner rushed for 177
yards and three TDs on 31 carries (5.7 avg.)…his 544 rush yards on
the year marked the best three-game start in Pitt history, surpass-
ing Tony Dorsett’s 487 yards in 1973…Conner’s three-yard TD put
Pitt ahead to stay, 23-16, in the third…Chad Voytik rushed for 114
yards and a TD on 12 carries (9.5 avg.), becoming the first Pitt QB to
rush for 100 yards since 1988…the teams combined for three safe-
ties (two scored by Pitt and one by FIU)…the game had a 48-minute
lightning delay in the third period.

Sportsradio 93.7 The Fan (KDKA-FM) in Pittsburgh, Pitt football
games are broadcast on the Pitt IMG Sports Network, a loyal network
of stations that spans the Commonwealth.
Radio coverage for Pitt football includes:
• A three-hour pregame show (first hour on 93.7 The Fan and the
last two on the entire Pitt IMG Sports Network).
• Panther Reaction, a call-in show on 93.7 The Fan following post-
game coverage.
• The Paul Chryst Show airing live on most Wednesdays from 6 to 7
p.m. Coach Chryst previews the upcoming game and takes questions
from callers listening on many of the same Pitt IMG Sports Network
affiliates that carry Panthers’ game broadcasts.
Known to Pitt fans nationwide as the “Voice of the Panthers,” Bill
Hillgrove will handle football play-by-play duties for the 41st
consecutive year. His accurate and descriptive style truly paints the
picture for Pitt fans listening to the network. Hillgrove has a long
association with the Panthers and Pittsburgh sports scene. Prior to
taking over as the play-by-play man for Pitt football, Hillgrove served
as the Panthers’ color analyst from 1970-73. He has also served as
the play-by-play man for Pitt basketball broadcasts since 1969.
Hillgrove is a 1962 graduate of Duquesne and has also been the
Pittsburgh Steelers’ play-by-play announcer since 1995. Hillgrove
was named the 2007 recipient of the prestigious Chris Schenkel
Award for excellence in college football broadcasting.
Joining Hillgrove in the booth for his fourth year as color analyst
will be former Pitt quarterback Pat Bostick. A three-year letterman
(2007-08, 2010), Bostick was under center for such memorable
Pitt victories as the 13-9 upset of West Virginia in 2007 and 36-33
quadruple-overtime win at Notre Dame in 2008.
Bostick makes a tremendous impression on listeners with his keen
insight and analysis. In addition to Pitt game days, he will continue to
be a frequently heard voice talking college football on 93.7 The Fan’s
various shows.
A 2010 honors graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, Bostick
earned his bachelor’s degree in just three years before beginning
work on his master’s degree in Pitt’s School of Education. He also
serves as the director of development for the Panther Club, the ath-
letic department’s official fundraising office.
Pitt pregame coverage and in-game sideline reports will be provided
by Larry Richert, one of Pittsburgh’s most recognized voices and
faces. Host of the venerable KDKA Morning News Show (1020 AM)
since 2001, Richert’s broadcasting career spans nearly 35 years in
both radio and television.
Richert is highly active in community endeavors, emceeing more
than 100 benefits annually around the region. He is the Heinz Field
public address announcer for Pittsburgh Steelers home games and
narrates the Steelers’ annual highlight films.
Last fall marked Richert’s return to college football. During the latter
1980s, he produced Pitt football radio broadcasts for four seasons.
Born in Millvale and raised in McCandless Township, Richert gradu-
ated from North Allegheny High School and Clarion University.
The 2014 season marks the fifth for Pitt’s partnership with CBS
Radio Pittsburgh and its flagship, Sportsradio 93.7 The Fan. Beyond
game broadcasts, the station airs a wide array of weekly program-
ming focusing on the Panthers’ sports scene throughout the year.
