Chris Blewitt named ACC Special Teams Player of the Week

It took a 56-yard field goal to do it, but that played helped ensure Pitt received a Player of the Week award from the ACC yet again.

On the leg of kicker Chris Blewitt, the Panthers took home another conference award as he was named the ACC's Specialist of the Week.

Blewitt's kick, of course, was a reason to give him the award. It wasn't only a school record and a career-long for him, but helped the Panthers pull off the upset on the road against Georgia Tech to move to 5-1 on the season. That field goal proved to be the game-winner as Pitt went on to a 31-28 victory after holding the Yellow Jackets on their final drive of the game.
