Pitt hosted Penn State on Saturday night at a waterlogged Heinz Field, and what unfolded was one of the worst showings in recent history for the football program. Although the matchup was competitive early on, the Panthers allowed the Nittany Lions to pull away in the second half and ultimately ended up with a 51-6 loss — the team’s worst defeat since 1996.
During his postgame press conference, Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi accepted blame for the lopsided defeat in the rivalry game and apologized to Pitt’s fanbase.
“The first thing I want to do is apologize to the Pitt nation out there,” Narduzzi said.
