Pittsburgh lost to Michigan State in the Peach Bowl last year, but apparently, the Spartans still weren’t impressive to the Panthers.
Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi said he believes if quarterback Kenny Pickett played in that game, it would’ve been a completely different game.
“He’s a 21 point difference, ok. Michigan State gets their butt kicked in,” Narduzzi said on Bazzy’s Black and Gold Banter. “It’s at least a 14-point difference if Nick Patti plays the whole game.”
Pickett chose to sit out the game to prepare for the NFL Draft, where he went No.
