ACC Week 1 helmet stickers: James Conner leads way in Pitt comeback

Here are the best of the best from Kickoff Week in the ACC.

Pitt RB James Conner: Who else would get the Panthers their first points of the season but their cancer-conquering hero of a running back? Conner’s return from Hodgkin lymphoma was emotional and successful, as he rushed the ball 17 times for a game-high 53 yards and a touchdown, adding three catches for 16 yards and another touchdown, that one the first TD reception of his career. What a story.

Syracuse QB Eric Dungey and WR Amba Etta-Tawo: Speaking of great stories, Dungey was part of a great one pregame Friday, when his brother Matt surprised him while on leave from the Army.
