Heintschel and Pitt defense both deliver in 2-0 start — Syracuse looms Saturday

Pitt showed two different faces through its first two games — a 59-14 offensive explosion against Miami (Ohio) and a gritty 12-7 defensive win over UCF on Saturday.

The ability to win in different ways is an encouraging sign for Pat Narduzzi's squad heading into a Week 3 home matchup with Syracuse.

Pitt hosts Syracuse on September 20 in what could be a statement game for the Panthers' ACC title hopes.
