DURHAM, N.C. — Tom Savage, Tyler Boyd and the Pittsburgh Panthers made themselves right at home on the road in the Atlantic Coast Conference — both in the end zone and in the record book.

Savage tied a league record with six touchdown passes and the ACC newcomers held on to win the second-highest-scoring game in conference history, 58-55 over Duke on Saturday.

“Basically, everybody on the offense scored,” Boyd said.

Savage threw for a career-high 424 yards on 23-of-33 passing with three touchdowns to the freshman Boyd.

“That’s a quarterback’s dream, especially playing (behind) the line that we have and the receivers we have,” Savage said. “Stat-wise, it was pretty good, but I think it’s easy to do with those kind of guys. I think anybody can throw those bombs and be protected by our offensive line.”

The Panthers (2-1, 1-1) never trailed in their first ACC victory and first league road game despite receiving plenty of scares down the stretch from a persistent Duke team.

“Today was a true test, and I think it was a good indication of where we’re at,” receiver Devin Street said. “Wins and losses come a dime a dozen, but effort can’t be matched, and we had effort out there.”
