After taking a late lead against NC State, Pitt’s defense couldn’t hold as the Wolfpack marched down the field for a late touchdown of its own, pulling out a shocking 30-29 win. The loss, of course, was the Panthers’ first of the season and will assuredly knock them out of the Top 25.
Other than a defense which really struggled today (oh, I’ll get there), the story of the game if you’re Pitt, is obviously penalties. Plenty of those were justified as NC State routinely caught Pitt offsides and the Panthers’ secondary had some clear pass interference calls.
