Graham’s performance was the second-best performance in Pitt history behind Tony Dorsett’s 303 yards against Notre Dame in 1975.

Pitt struggled early on, as the Panthers were losing 7-3 in the second quarter, and Pitt went into halftime with just a three-point lead. And early in the fourth quarter, Pitt only held a six-point lead.

But the offense – mainly Graham – exploded to put the game in the win column. Pitt is now 2-2 and will visit Notre Dame next week before kicking off the conference slate at Syracuse the following weekend.
