Both Pitt and Virginia controlled their own destiny in terms of trying to win the ACC Coastal Division coming into tonight. Only one team left that way and it was the Panthers, which won the contest, 23-13. That isn’t too far off from the 23-20 score I called in the Q&A with SB Nation’s Virginia blog, Streaking the Lawn.
Coming into this one, as I said in that Q&A, I just wasn’t sure how great Virginia really was. I felt Pitt was a pretty mediocre team and wasn’t convinced that Virginia wasn’t equally mediocre, despite the lofty Top 25 ranking and 6-2 record.
