Another bowl game, another dud.
Pitt’s latest postseason football misadventure came today against Stanford in the Sun Bowl. The Panthers played well on defense but still managed to come up short, 14-13, in a game they seemed to dominate. The loss, if you’ve managed to lose track, is Pitt’s third consecutive bowl loss under Pat Narduzzi. Counting the ACC Championship game loss to Clemson, that’s four consecutive postseason games lost by Narduzzi’s teams.
It wasn’t quite 3-0 like Pitt’s last trip to the Sun Bowl against Oregon State. But the game definitely didn’t have the offensive firepower you might expect with Stanford’s passing game and the things Pitt has done on the ground.
