PITTSBURGH — Desmond Reid’s speed was on full display, Cataurus “Blue” Hicks had a spectacular one-handed touchdown grab, and Eli Holstein had his first four-touchdown game as Pitt routed crosstown rival Duquesne 61-9.
Much like he did a year ago in his first game as a Panther, Reid made his presence known early in Pitt’s season opener.
