Kenny Pickett

Whipple believes this is 'a great fit' for him and his family

EL PASO, Texas (AP) — With all of the struggles it had on offense, it was a wonder that Stanford was able to hold off Pitt for a 14-13 victory in the Sun Bowl.

Pitt quarterback Kenny Pickett has been named the ACC Quarterback of the Week for his performance during Pitt’s 34-13 win at Wake Forest Saturday.

PITTSBURGH (93.7 the Fan) – Their future in their own hands to make a first ACC Championship game, Pitt set a school record in total yards Saturday with 654 and embarrassed Virginia Tech 52-22 at Heinz Field.

Kenny Pickett threw for two scores and ran for another for Pitt (2-2, 1-1), which fell to 0-6 against its Coastal Division foe since joining the ACC in 2013. It was the Panthers’ first road game after last week’s league win against Georgia Tech.

The Panthers (2-1, 1-0 ACC) are coming off a home win against Georgia Tech in their league opener, though they’re preparing for their first road game of the season. They’re also trying to earn their first win against UNC since joining the ACC for the 2013 season.
