The final score might hint otherwise, but if you watched today's Pitt game, it's hard to come away with the thought that it really wasn't that close.
On Homecoming, the Panthers left Heinz Field with a 26-19 win and a 4-1 start to the season. But while Pitt won by only a touchdown and needed to hold off a final Virginia drive to seal the victory, the Panthers clearly looked like the better team for much of the contest.
We can't truly give Pitt credit for a dominant performance. To do so would indicate they played a nearly perfect game and that really wasn't the case.
