The Pitt Panthers came south for the winter and beat the Miami Hurricanes 42-16. Miami started the game down 28-0 at halftime on Senior Night. The Hurricanes finished the season 5-7 (3-5 in the ACC), while Pitt moved to 8-4 (5-3 in the ACC).
Before the game, the Canyonero keys to victory were:
1- Protect the QB. Tyler Van Dyke was knocked out of the football game on the opening drive. Miami gave up six sacks and two hurries. Van Dyke clearly shouldn’t have played if one hit and a little rough play on the turf after the play ended his night.
