KALAMAZOO, Mich. — Entering his first football game since Nov. 29, 2019, Nate Yarnell knew he didn't need to be perfect.
Coming off an overtime loss the previous week where No. 23 Pitt saw its top two quarterbacks on the depth chart suffer injuries, Pat Narduzzi formulated a game plan behind the redshirt freshman that would be just enough to squeak out a road victory — and it was successful.
Led by a consistent rushing attack and a solid defensive effort, the Panthers (2-1) were able to get back in the win column Saturday evening, defeating Western Michigan, 34-13, at Waldo Stadium.
