Twitter Reaction to Pitt’s Win Over No. 20 Syracuse

PITTSBURGH — With a matchup against No. 20 Syracuse at Acrisure Stadium Saturday afternoon, Pitt had the chance to start the back end of the season with a 19-9 win.

Offensively, Pitt did what they’ve done well all season and that’s run the football. Rodney Hammond filled in for an injured Israel Abanikanda Hammond rushed the ball 28 times for 124 yards.

But the story of the day was Pitt’s defense as they held Syracuse to 145 total yards and recorded 6 sacks.

Pitt is now 5-4 and one game away from being bowl eligible.

Glory to God! Team Win! https://t.co/gDO1C5G1Kp

Just after @Pitt_FB Deslin Alexandre had 2.5 sacks in a #Pitt win over Syracuse, he reminded us he's doing something bigger with his 'Fifth Down' campaign. He's trying to use his platform to help kids in Haiti. He asked for your help to raise $50,000 at @PKFtweets

Syracuse LT Matthew Bergeron is a likely future Top 100 NFL Draft pick but don’t tell that to Deslin Alexandre.

Having arguably his best game of the year against a really good player.

Kids want to score touchdowns. Imagine trying to sell a kid this offense in their living room. I would boot all these coaches out my house
