The sophomore ran 42 times for a career-high 261 yards and four touchdowns as the Panthers ended the regular season with a 28-10 win over the Bearcats.

He finished the regular season with 956 yards rushing and 12 touchdowns.

Lewis is now sixth on Pitt’s all-time career rushing list with 2,755 yards. He will look to pass LeSean McCoy’s record for combined rushing yards as a freshman and sophomore with 2,816 in the team’s bowl game against Kentucky.
