Twitter Reaction to Pitt’s Wild Loss in the GameAbove Sports Bowl

DETROIT — Pitt fell to Toledo in dramatic fashion Thursday afternoon, losing 48-46 in 6OT.

It was the longest bowl game in NCAA history, and the longest game in Pitt history, and it concluded the season with six straight losses.

Pitt played its third and fourth string quarterbacks against the Rockets, but it isn’t much of a consolation for many Pitt fans. There is a lot of anger and disappointment in the way the season came to an end in the GameAbove Sports Bowl at Ford Field in Detroit.

That was an embarrassment to the University of Pittsburgh! I honestly think next year will be a do or die Year for coach Narduzzi bcuz The new AD has no allegiance to him and another mediocre year could Doom him! https://t.co/fIcP6z6bjy

It’s not one decision or one game that is the problem.

If Narduzzi doesn’t believe in his team to win a football game from inside the 1 yard line against TOLEDO(!!!!!), then he’s failed in building a football team that is up to the standard of what it should be. https://t.co/51XCXNWqRS

Biggest takeaway for Pitt is that it has a legit QB2 for next year.

Watched Julian Dugger during practices this season and he showed the raw talent. Finally had a chance to display that on the field.

Pittsburgh kid with grit, can throw a great ball and fits the scheme.

Additionally, Pittsburgh is now:

– the highest ranked team Toledo has beaten (2003)
– the longest game Toledo has played (2024)

How many losses in a row is that for Pitt after Narduzzi jacked Neal Brown with his X post?
