Pittsburgh linebacker coach Ryan Manalac dubbed his group 'The Sharks' during training camp, a moniker that proved fitting as the Panthers' defense devoured Syracuse in a 41-13 victory on Thursday night.
The Panthers, ranked 19th, showcased their defensive prowess with three pick-six interceptions by linebackers Rasheem Biles, Kyle Louis, and Braylan Lovelace. The 'Sharks' defense set the tone early, with Biles returning an interception for a 35-yard touchdown just over two minutes into the game.
