Pittsburgh vs Toledo team news & key players
Pittsburgh Panthers team news
Pittsburgh could be leaning heavily on its third-string quarterback, as Nate Yarnell entered the transfer portal after stepping in for the injured Eli Holstein. This scenario would place significant responsibility on running back Desmond Reid, provided he's fit to play. The junior, who sat out the regular-season finale due to injury, has been Pittsburgh’s most electric offensive weapon. Reid averages over five yards per carry and adds value as a pass-catcher, tallying eight total touchdowns this season.
If Holstein is cleared to play, he could provide a steady hand under center. The sophomore has thrown for 2,225 yards with 17 touchdowns and seven interceptions, completing over 60% of his passes. However, Pittsburgh will be without their top receiver, which makes Holstein's ability to spread the ball around even more crucial.
Toledo Rockets team news
For Toledo, junior quarterback Tucker Gleason had a rollercoaster season. While he threw for 2,457 yards and 22 touchdowns, his inconsistency was evident in several MAC matchups where he failed to surpass 200 passing yards. After closing the regular season with back-to-back losses, Gleason will need to step up against a formidable Pittsburgh defensive front to end the season on a high note.
