Pitt was not expected to do much of anything against Penn State. Most experts went the other way on this one and even the non-experts like us, assumed Penn State would have little trouble with the Panthers.
60 minutes and a heck of an entertaining game later, yeah, not so much.
Sure, Penn State won. And I personally give them credit because they were horrendous in the first half. While it won’t be popular among Pitt fans, Penn State even deserved to do so. They simply made a few more plays when it counted and you would be a fool to take that away from them.
