Pitt turns to its calling card, holds on to beat Duke

This is pretty much what Pitt is this season.

Offense struggles to post points? Check.

Special teams makes some big plays, but also allows some big ones? Check.

Defense largely dominates? Check.

It's almost like Pat Narduzzi follows a script every week, in terms of game flow.

Grab your nitroglycerin pills. Is it a cardiac emergency? Nope. It's Pitt football in 2022.

When the Panthers' offense sputtered (again) in the second half, it came down to the ability of the defense to continue to hold and break through for a big play.
