PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pitt senior quarterback Kenny Pickett is looking to make the most of his decision to return for a fifth season instead of going to the NFL. Pickett was leaning toward entering the NFL draft before changing his mind last December. The 23-year-old says the chance to help the Panthers have a special season played a factor in opting to come back for one more run.

The Panthers open the season against Massachusetts.
