For a while, any sort of meaningful season for Pitt’s football team seemed out of reach. Only two games ago, they were 2-5 and faced what looked to be improved Duke and Virginia teams, which were virtual must wins.
The Panthers, though, won both games and now sit only a game under .500. At 4-5, the season still isn’t going all that well. But fans can at least shift talk away from the prospect of a two-win or three-win season to that of the postseason. The Panthers still have an uphill climb of sorts but with four wins, are at least in the bowl discussion again.
