Pitt’s football team faced a tall order against a motivated Clemson team on Saturday. In the end, the Panthers were dominated in an ugly 52-17 loss.
Things got off to a rough start for the Panthers. Pitt (5-5) did not score on its first seven drives and three of those ended with interceptions by Kenny Pickett. The Panthers trailed Clemson (8-1) 31-0 at the end of the first quarter and the rout seemed to be on. Pickett added a fourth pick later and certainly had one of the worst games of his career.
Pitt did ultimately fight back a bit with ten second quarter points.
