Chrishon McCray - Can't capitalize on targets McCray logged four receptions (on 10 targets) for 49 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 55-24 defeat versus Pittsburgh.

Impact McCray brought in just four of his 10 targets against a tough Pitt defense, which contributed to his low yardage. The 5-foot-10 wide receiver was still able to find the end zone in the third quarter but was behind pass catcher Luke Floriea in both receptions and yards by the end of the matchup.

Luke Floriea - Records touchdown in blowout Floriea hauled in 6 of 10 targets for 104 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 55-24 loss versus Pittsburgh.

Impact Floriea brought in Kent State's first touchdown of the game off a 36-yard grab, aiding towards his 100-yard performance. The 5-foot-10 wide receiver looks to be one of the top options for quarterback Devin Kargman so far this year, alongside sophomore pass catcher Chrishon McCray.

Devin Kargman - Decent in defeat Kargman completed 14 of 28 passes for 181 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 55-24 loss versus Pittsburgh.

Impact Kargman didn't play terrible against the Panthers, but Kent State in the end was no match for Pitt. The 6-foot-3 quarterback completed passing touchdowns in the first and third quarter, the most notable being a 36 yarder to Luke Floriea early in the game. Kargman is primed to lead the Golden Flashes again this upcoming Saturday against Saint Francis this upcoming Saturday.

5 takeaways: Eli Holstein's shining debut proves Pitt made the right choice While Pitt’s opponent on opening weekend didn’t garner much excitement for the start of the 2024 season, the wholesale changes the Panthers....

SEPTEMBER 1, 2024 • POST-GAZETTE.COM

Ben Sauls - Flawless in opener Sauls made both field goal attempts and all seven of his extra-point tries during Saturday's 55-24 win over Kent State.

Impact Sauls knocked through all nine of his kicks in the Panthers' Week 1 demolition of Kent State. He'll face a tougher test on the road against Cincinnati next week.

Raphael Williams Jr. - Scores twice in Pitt debut Williams had four receptions (on six targets) for 31 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 55-24 win against Kent State.

Impact Williams' Pittsburgh career got off to a hot start, as he scored half of the time he touched the ball. Another Western Carolina transfer alongside tailback Desmond Reid, Williams should continue to make an impact as one of the Panthers' top wideouts who clearly has a nose for the end zone.
