Pitt wide receiver Jester Weah had been struggling coming into the Panthers' game against Rice on Saturday. Before today's game, Weah had been held to only eight catches for 84 yards and one touchdown on the season. That put him woefully off his pace for last season when he had 36 catches for 870 yards and ten touchdowns.
Against Rice, though, the Pitt senior had one of the best games of his career. In all, Weah had five catches for 137 yards and a touchdown. That was second only to his huge game against Marshall last year when he recorded seven catches for 176 yards and a score.
