PITTSBURGH (AP) - Greg Williams' 51-yard interception return for a touchdown late in the first half got slow-starting Pittsburgh
going, and the No. 14 Panthers extended their best start to a season since 1982 by beating Syracuse 37-10 on Saturday.

Dion Lewis ran for 110 yards and a touchdown for the freshman's sixth 100-yard game, tight end Dorin Dickerson caught his 10th
touchdown pass this season and the Panthers (8-1, 5-0 in Big East) won their fifth in a row heading into next Saturday's game against No. 19 Notre Dame.

Bill Stull was 16 of 23 for 225 yards and no interceptions as the Panthers, who last were 8-1 during Dan Marino's senior season
27 years ago, set themselves up for a possible Big East title-deciding game against No. 4 Cincinnati on Dec. 5.
