PITTSBURGH — On a night filled with overcast skies, the only thing uglier than the weather Saturday evening on the North Shore was the showing from No. 24 Pitt in its 26-21 loss to Georgia Tech at Acrisure Stadium.
Despite a strong effort from its defense, four quarters of dysfunction on the offensive side of the ball prevented Pat Narduzzi’s team from coasting to what many believed would be a smooth win.
From start to finish, the Panthers (3-2, 0-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) failed to find any sort of rhythm when they had the football. In its first five possessions, Pitt tallied just 55 yards on 26 plays. An eight-play, 75-yard drive that ended with a 29-yard touchdown toss to Gavin Bartholomew provided a temporary moment of hope, giving Pitt a 7-6 lead at the half.
