Pitt's problems were many on Saturday in the team's 51-28 loss on the road against Miami. The Panthers struggled on both sides of the ball and on offense, that included the running game.
Pitt has made a living out of running the ball effectively this season. The Panthers' 231.8 yards on the ground were good for 25th in the nation and third in the ACC (behind only Louisville and Georgia Tech, which is an option team that will always rack up yardage). But on Saturday, the team found little room to run against the Hurricanes.
On the day, the Panthers mustered only 130 total rushing yards, a little more than half of their average.
