The Pittsburgh Panthers were dominant in 2021, going 11-3 overall and 8-1 in ACC play en route to becoming conference champions.
The offense will look much different this season as the key pieces from a deadly passing attack that gave this team its identity are now gone. Former offensive coordinator Mark Whipple is now at Nebraska, and Frank Cignetti is back for his second stint at the job. USC transfer Kedon Slovis likely replaces Kenny Pickett at quarterback, while Biletnikoff winner Jordan Addison departs at wide receiver. The defense should remain fearsome, and 15 starters return, so Pat Narduzzi and company hope to contend in the Coastal in 2022.
