Jurkovec notches first start, win in a Pitt uniform

Phil Jurkovec trotted out on the field of Acrisure Stadium on Saturday for the first time ever as Pitt's starting quarterback. The last time Jurkovec started a game at the Panthers' home stadium was back in 2017 when it was still called Heinz Field and he was playing for Pine-Richland High School. It took a lengthy road to get to this point, but Jurkovec finally donned the Pitt script on his helmet and delivered a comfortable 45-7 win over Wofford in the 2023 season opener.
