Things were beginning to look a little bleak for Pitt fans on Saturday against Penn State. Up by only three and the opponent driving, this was a familiar sight to just about everyone.
Further cementing that notion was a previously dropped pass for what would have been a touchdown. Penn State was moving the ball and gotten out of a major jam on a 4th and 16 with a completion. Already in range for a long field goal attempt, Penn State decided to go long again from Pitt’s 31-yard line.
The pass, however, was intercepted by senior cornerback Ryan Lewis and that effectively ended the game.
