Outmanned. Outgunned. Pick a verb, any verb you like. Just make sure it’s one that adequately describes Pitt as flat out not having enough firepower tonight.
The Panthers lost the ACC Championship to a terrific Clemson team, 42-10. That wasn’t unexpected, folks. Pitt was a big underdog here and most were expecting a blowout. It might be somewhat disappointing but few gave the Panthers little chance of keeping it competitive, let alone winning.
It, of course, was not competitive. Despite an error-filled start (seems like we’ve heard that before), Pitt managed to not let this game go the way of the Penn State or UCF games and kept things relatively close for a half.
