What happened
ESPN RECAPSyracuse gives up most points ever in game in Pitt's wild 76-61 victory
PITTSBURGH -- Nate Peterman threw for 251 yards and four touchdowns and ran for another to lead Pittsburgh to a wild 76-61 victory over Syracuse on Saturday. James Conner ran for 115 yards and two touchdowns and caught a 35-yard pass for a score to extend his ACC career touchdown record to 56. The Panthers needed just about every one of them on a day when defenses for both teams put up little resistance. Eight different Panthers reached the end zone as Pitt (8-4, 5-3 ACC) posted its highest point total since putting up 76 against Temple in 1978. Quadree Henderson rushed for a career-high 103 yards and a touchdown. Jester Weah hauled in a pair of scores, and Dontez Ford added a 79-yard catch-and-run of his own in what amounted to a basketball game in cleats and shoulder pads.
