“Wow, we really did give it away.”That’s what Pat Narduzzi said at his weekly press conference on Monday after watching film of his Pitt Panthers’ heartbreaking 21-17 loss to Wake
The first true Saturday night game in Morgantown since 2016.
Even on an afternoon in which Israel Abanikanda's day felt like light work, he still racked up 117 rushing yards (6.6 yards per attempt) and a touchdown and 21 receiving yards -- on just 19 touches. His impact, in particular, was felt on Pitt's final offensive possession. With a 1st-and-10 at the 37-yard line, with 3:39 left in the fourth quarter, Pitt needed to bleed the clock away with a steady dose of runs to clinch a 28-20 victory over Duke. Instead, C'Bo Flemister ran twice to set up a 3rd-and-4, and Kedon Slovis' down throw fell to the dirt.
Pitt was able to hold off a late rally from the Blue Devils.
