PITTSBURGH
One row of rain-drenched undergrads remained in Pitt’s student section as Penn State fans pushed up against the visitor’s sideline and made Heinz Field home. The torn-up field had enough, and so did the Panthers.
It was a familiar feeling for the Nittany Lions. Penn State linebacker Cam Brown flashed back to Nov. 19, 2016, when the Nittany Lions beat Rutgers to a pulp and HighPoint Solutions Stadium was hollow, save for the remaining white-clad faithful.
That was a 39-point beatdown of the lowly Scarlet Knights. What happened Saturday night was a 51-6 thrashing of Pitt.
