Most figured that Pitt would have trouble slowing down UCF’s offense in today’s game. The Knights had scored 30 points or more in every game going back to more than two years ago so that concern was warranted.
But most didn’t count on Pitt putting 35 points up on the scoreboard, either.
When you tallied all the points at the end, the Panthers scored one more than their worthy opponent, pulling off a 35-34 shocker over a 15th ranked UCF team that had aspirations of a playoff bid. They weren’t likely to get there but, after today’s game, that certainly won’t be happening.
