Earlier this week, I mentioned in the comments section of the preview post that Pitt should win this one against Austin Peay quite easily. That proved to be true as Pitt rolled to a stress-free 55-0 victory in the team’s opener on Saturday. Pitt scored touchdowns on their first six drives on their way to a 42-0 start. The Panthers didn’t punt until the third quarter when the backups were starting to get in.
How much did Pitt pile on in this one? Backup running back Todd Sibley got in on special teams, blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown, and it was mostly an afterthought.
