It was a competitive contest in Pitt's Blue-Gold spring game Saturday at Heinz Field, where the Gold team defeated the Blue team 10-7 as kicker Sam Scarton missed a 56-yard field goal that would've tied the game as time expired.
The final score of the game wasn't as much the story of the afternoon, but instead how several Pitt players gave their first displays of how they would fill in important positions while replacing players who left after last season.
Chief among those was the quarterback battle between new transfer quarterback Kedon Slovis and returning senior Nick Patti.
