2. Jordan Addison records 10-plus receptions for third consecutive game

Pitt’s passing attack has thrived this season thanks to the play of quarterback Kenny Pickett. One player that has helped him put up the yardage and score touchdowns is sophomore wide receiver, Jordan Addison.

On the year, Addison caught 85 passes for 1,353 yards and 17 touchdowns on the year. While it is easy to say that the wideout will score a touchdown against Wake Forest, we will go even bolder.

Last week, Addison logged 11 catches against Syracuse, which resulted in 81 receiving yards and two touchdowns. The week prior against the Virginia Cavaliers, the sophomore caught 14 passes for 202 yards and four touchdowns in the 48-38 victory.

Given that Addison is coming off back-to-back 10-plus reception games, we say he makes it three in a row at the expense of the Demon Deacons.
