Freshman running back Dion Lewis rushed for 190 yards and two touchdowns as Pittsburgh defeated Buffalo 54-27 on Saturday.

Stull's top target on the afternoon was starting tight end Dorin Dickerson who hauled in three TD's and led the team with 8 receptions.

Lewis capped off the game with an 85 yard touchdown run late in the 4th quarter.

and for those folks that think you CANT boo a college kid? WHY NOT? He/she should know the pressure that comes with the spotlight..if you can't take the heat...dont go DI where the cameras are rollin' and the price tag for tix is too damn high...If it calls for it, especially when a college kid is NOT giving 100%...boo him/her back into focus...IT WORKS!!

I'm happy that Pitt is off to a 2-0 start but in my honest opinion it doesn't prove anything. I can't make a solid aragument for how good this team is when it beats up on smaller programs. Until Pitt bellys up to the table and puts the likes of Michigan, USC, LSU, Florida, Ohio State, Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama on their schedule I really can't brag.
