The oddsmakers installed Tennessee as a 6 point favorite over Pitt, despite the Panthers being higher ranked and the Vols being on the road.
Vegas was right as Tennessee left Acrisure Stadium with a 34-27 OT win.
The story of the game was Pitt squandering a number of scoring opportunities and leaving at least 12 points on the field.

Pitt (1-1) returns to action next Saturday as they’re on the road at Western Michigan.

That said, the defense played very well, except for the one corner who kept getting burned for first downs and touchdowns. Hope we can find a more qualified corner because that last Tennessee TD was once again, poorly covered by this corner. Despite all that we took it to overtime in large part due to the rugged plays our defense made to neutralize the Tennessee… Read more »
