GAME BREAKDOWN

KEY MATCHUP: Saturday’s matchup may very well come down to discipline. Duke is the fifth-least penalized team in the FBS, garnering just 28 flags through seven games. Pittsburgh, meanwhile, is tied for No. 86 in the FBS with 51 penalties through seven outings. The Panthers can’t afford to shoot itself in the foot against a well-coached, sound Duke team.

DRAFT SLANT

–RB Qadree Ollison, a former three-star recruit, is coming off a 16-carry, 50-yard effort against Notre Dame that included a touchdown. Over the course of the season, Ollison had 646 yards and six touchdowns for Pittsburgh. A borderline NFL prospect at best, Ollison hopes to kick it into high gear at the tail end of his senior season.

ROSTER REPORT:

–DL Jaylen Twyman is questionable with a foot injury.

–DB Phil Campbell is questionable with an illness.

–WR Taysir Mack is questionable with a foot injury.

–LB Quintin Wirginis is out for the season with a knee injury.
