It didn’t get a lot of attention immediately after the game, but Punter Dave Brytus did a fine job. He had been disturbingly inconsistent in training camp. His kicks were erratic and often short. It started coming together near the end of camp.

Brytus kicked well in the game and earned Big East Special Teams Player of the Week honors. Brytus had five punts in the game averaging 45.6 yds/punt.

It was the first POW of any Pitt football player since Palko got Offensive POW after the Citadel game. Session got Defensive POW after the season opener against Virginia. The last time a Pitt player was named Special Teams POW was Josh Lay in November 2005.
