It’s been a tale of two seasons for Pitt. After starting the year 7-0, the Panthers have stumbled into bowl season on a five-game losing streak. Their most recent loss, a 34-23 loss to Boston College, highlighted the team’s struggles.

In that game, QB Nate Yarnell threw for 296 yards and 3 touchdowns, but he has since traded to Texas, leaving Eli Holstein to take the reins for this bowl game. Holstein, a freshman, will make his first start and all eyes will be on how he handles the pressure in Detroit.

The Rockets have had a bumpy ride, entering the GameAbove Sports Bowl on a two-game skid. Their most recent setback, a 21-14 overtime loss to Akron, was a heartbreaker.

QB Tucker Gleason put up solid numbers in that game, going 31-of-44 for 289 yards and a touchdown, but Toledo’s offense struggled to capitalize on key moments. The Rockets will need Gleason to bring his A-game if they want to ground the Panthers and secure their first bowl win since 2018.
