Pitt 28 - VT 7
The Pitt Panthers took the Hokies to the woodshed and beat them 28-7 in a game that was never in doubt. Off the strength of a 22-37, 203-yard performance, Kenny Pickett picked apart the Hokies in a windy day in Blacksburg.
The first scoring drive for Pitt was a 5:53 preview of coming attractions. 94 yards and 15 plays where Pitt was able to do just about whatever it desired. The drive was capped off by an 8-yard pass from Kenny Pickett to Gavin Bartholomew and a 7-0 lead.
This isn’t to say that the defense for the Hokies didn’t do everything in its power to keep the game manageable.
