In the aftermath of Pitt’s 45-21 win over Wake Forest in the ACC Championship Game, Kenny Pickett was asked a simple question:
Would he play with the Panthers in their bowl game?
And Pickett’s answer was likewise simple:
“I plan on playing.”
Less than two weeks later, Pickett announced that he would not be participating in the Chick Fil-A Peach Bowl - not as a player, at least - and instead would be watching his teammates take on No. 10 Michigan State in Atlanta on Dec. 30.
That decision, Pickett told Panther-Lair.com, was not an easy one, but after considering a number of factors, it was the way Pitt’s record-setting quarterback chose to end his career.
