After being shut out by Virginia Tech, Pitt’s football team hoped to bounce back against Boston College this weekend in the regular season finale. It was a game that looked quite winnable and the blueprint for the rest of the season was pretty clear. Win today, win a bowl, get to nine wins, and build some real momentum going into next season.
It wasn’t meant to be, though, as the Panthers (7-5) looked frustratingly flat in turning the ball over four times on their way to an ugly 26-19 loss to the Eagles (6-6).
There are no real excuses for a loss like this.
