Pittsburgh skyline illuminated in support of Kenny Pickett

The U.S. Steel Tower, which is the tallest building in the Pittsburgh skyline, was lit up on Saturday night with messages of support for Pitt quarterback Kenny Pickett. The signal-caller is in the midst of a push for the Heisman Trophy, and lights cast on the tower read “Heisman 2 Pickett,” a play on “H2P,” which stands for “hail to Pitt.”

In addition to the “Heisman 2 Pickett” message, other images cast upon the U.S. Steel Tower on Friday night included a rendering of the Heisman Trophy and Pickett’s blue and gold number eight in Pitt's font.

Pickett is on the ballot for the Heisman Trophy after a season for the ages in which he threw for 40 touchdowns and 4,066 yards and led Pitt to a 10-win regular season for the first time in 40 years.
