No. 22 Pitt is encouraged but hardly satisfied with the program off to its best start since 1991
Associated PressThe AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! Even with the 22nd-ranked Panthers off to the program’s best start since 1991 after a 34-24 win over North Carolina last weekend pushed them to 5-0. Not with Alabama transfer Eli Holstein putting up numbers not seen since Dan Marino was a Panther more than 40 years ago and 5-foot-8 Desmond Reid becoming perhaps the best running/receiving threat in the country. He’s the first running back in Pitt history to have multiple 100-yard receiving games, a list that includes Hall of Famers Tony Dorsett and Curtis Martin. The return of running back Rodney Hammond — who was reinstated last week after initially being ruled ineligible — means the Panthers might not have to rely on Reid so heavily, in theory helping him stay healthy as Pitt dives deep into conference play with a visit from Cal on Saturday.
