Tennessee played this game close until the end, but Pittsburgh got the win 41-34.
The game started off so promising. Tennessee forced a three-and-out on Pittsburgh’s first drive and then blocked Pitt’s punt. Jabari Smith scored the game’s first TD on a two-yard run.
The teams exchanged a few three-and-outs, Tennessee starter Joe Milton peppered in numerous overthrows with a few on easy, woulda-been touchdowns. Here’s one that WASN’T Milton’s fault:
