On Saturday, Pitt suffered a crushing defeat to Penn State. A loss wasn’t entirely unexpected as the Panthers were nearly double-digit underdogs. What did raise eyebrows was the manner in which the Panthers lost.
Pitt was routed 51-6 by their in-state rival in a game that no one could really have expected. Losing by 19 as was the case last year? That happens. By 45? That’s on an entirely different level.
And while it’s the players that are ultimately responsible, the one guy from the Pitt side that immediately comes to mind is head coach Pat Narduzzi.
