No. 21 Pittsburgh (2-0)
The Panthers' vaunted defense did exactly what was expected against an overmatched Syracuse line. Pitt's D utterly harassed Tommy DeVito throughout, with one deep ball (by backup QB Rex Culpepper) serving as the only real offense the Orange could muster. But does Pitt's offense have enough to really challenge in the ACC? There were certainly some bright spots Saturday, including touchdowns from Jared Wayne and Jordan Addison, but the ground game continues to be a big concern. -- Hale
