Payton Wilson's defensive presence won this game for Pittsburgh.

Jaylen Warren was most certainly the star player on offense for Pittsburgh in this contest. Jaylen Warren had 15 carries, 101 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown, 6 receptions on 6 targets, 87 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown, 21 touches, 188 total yards, and 2 total touchdowns.
