After a tragic shooting today in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood, football was probably the last thing on the minds of most of us. I’ve got nothing eloquent to say here and nothing that I could say would ease the pain the city is feeling right now, anyway. My thoughts and prayers are with all involved in this senseless tragedy and I hope the healing process begins quickly for them.
Heading into today’s matchup against Duke, I thought Pitt had a good chance to win. Then the game started and the defense was nowhere to be found. But while the Panthers struggled on that side of the ball, the offense was there to lead the way in a thrilling 54-45 win.
