  Draft Scout by Conference









  Vincent Davis doesn't have the frame you'd normally associate with a bell-cow back. But with 42 carries so far this year, third-most in the ACC, the sophomore is holding up just fine - making guys miss and even doling out some hits himself as he tries to cement his spot atop Pitt's depth chart. "Vince is one of the toughest guys on the team. He prides himself on that," Pitt captain and quarterback Kenny Pickett said after Davis' 18-touch, 76-yard game against Louisville. "He's a smaller guy, but it takes two or three to bring him down. He's a guy I love playing with, a guy who plays full tilt." "We always knew him as a game-breaker," DuBuc said. "He runs like he's a fullback but can change direction like a 150-pound back. He's just an explosive guy."

Though the coaching staff would like to see more on the ground - blocking for 8 yards and getting 28, as Pat Narduzzi said earlier in the season - Davis has provided that pop to an aspect of Pitt's offense that was severely lacking last year. Anyone who watched Pitt in 2019 knows how non-existent the running game was. The Panthers ranked 100th nationally in rushing attempts and 118th in rushing yards per game. Perhaps more telling, Pitt had only nine rushing plays of 20-plus yards. The only Football Bowl Subdivision team that played 13 games and had fewer was Washington State. It appeared early on this season that Pitt might lack that explosion again. After all, Pickett and wide receiver Jordan Addison accounted for the Panthers' longest rushes in the opener against Austin Peay. - Pittsburgh Post Gazette
