Pitt broke their winless streak by edging out Notre Dame in a great, hard fought, 34-33 win. The jubilation was short lived, though, as the Panthers fell short in an offensive user game, 49-36, against the Louisville Cardinals.
Cardinals coach HWeezy had this to say:
"We are happy with the conference road win and only have one thing to say, Do NOT sleep on the Pitt Panthers, they are a good football team that is only going to get better. God Bless."
In other user game news, #14 Cincy tangled with #21 WVU tonight in Morgantown.
In an instant classic played in the freezing snow, the 'Neers knocked off the 'Cats by a final score of 24-21. It was a back and forth defensive game that was busted open by a 90 yard fumble return in the 4th that put WVU up 17-14. The offenses exchanged late TD's and Cincy had a chance to win with a little over a minute left, but BearCat QB Demetrius Jones threw a game clenching INT with seconds left to seal it for the Mountaineers.
Noel Devine was held in check until late in the second half, when he became the centerpiece of the WVU surge, finishing with 111 yards and the late score.
Coach joaj34 said: "That was a hell of a game. I've got to give it to both of these teams to come out in conditions like this, in the snow and the sludge and duke it out like this. Great defensive play throughout the game, we just came up on the short end of the stick. We've got some things we need to look at to get ready for the Cardinals."
Cincy plays at Louisville next week, WVU and Pitt get a bye.
WVU's coach has yet to comment...
