PITTSBURGH — The big challenge for Pitt against No. 9 Oklahoma State this Saturday is a pretty easy one to figure out: How to stop Cowboys wide receiver James Washington.
Washington is the favorite for the Biletnikoff Award as the nation’s top wide receiver and was a consensus preseason All-American selection. His 29 career receiving touchdowns are the most among all active players. He leads all active Power Five receivers with 3,166 career years.
This season, he’s averaging over 30.4 yards per catch and has scored a touchdown 37.5 percent of the time he’s touched the ball.
