CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- Darrin Hall ran for 229 yards and three touchdowns and Pittsburgh beat No. 23 Virginia 23-13 on Friday night.
Hall scored on runs of 41, 2 and 75 yards, the latter a play after Virginia closed to 14-13 in the fourth quarter. The Panthers (5-4, 4-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) botched the extra point attempt but forced a three-and-out by the Cavaliers and went on to their fourth consecutive victory in the series. Alex Kessman's 53-yard field goal, his fourth from 50 and beyond this season, padded the lead.
"We did it the old fashioned way, running the football for 250 yards," coach Pat Narduzzi said.
