Syracuse hits the road Thursday night looking to bounce back from a narrow loss on September 12th against the California Golden Bears when they face the Pittsburgh Panthers at Acrisure Stadium.
The Orange enter the 7:30 p.m. game with a 1-1 record after a 21-18 loss to California. Pittsburgh is 2-0.
Syracuse moved the ball against Cal but was hurt by turnovers and penalties. Quarterback Steve Angeli threw for 306 yards but was intercepted three times, while the Orange committed 15 penalties for 134 yards.
The Syracuse defense has been a strength through two games, allowing 204 yards per game. It will be tested by Pittsburgh quarterback Mason Heintschel, who has thrown for 665 yards and seven touchdowns without an interception.
The Panthers have also been difficult to run against, allowing just 47 rushing yards through its first two games.
The Panthers have controlled the series recently, winning 20 of the past 24 meetings. Syracuse has not won at Pittsburgh since 2001.
