Pitt’s offense wasn’t running on all cylinders today but behind some early field goals, timely touchdown passes, and maybe a little defense, the Panthers hung on for a thrilling 23-20 win against Louisville. Pitt remains perfect at 3-0 while Louisville falls to 1-2.
The Panthers led early with kicker Alex Kessman knocking in a couple of early field goals for a 6-0 lead. Pitt would fall behind in the second quarter with Louisville scoring 17 unanswered but a touchdown pass (on a heady play by receiver Taysir Mack who got up after a nearly tackle after a catch and headed to the end zone) put them ahead for good.
