Close Games and Pitt -- A Look Back

[Panther Holla]

Pitt fans marvel at the 2015 Panthers' knack for winning the close ones, and with good reason. Here is Pitt's record by coach since 1973 in games decided by 7 points or less. I omitted tie games.

Majors I (4-5); Sherrill (8-4); Fazio (9-9); Gottfried (7-8); Hackett (4-6); Majors II (3-7); Harris (18-20); Wanny (12-14); Fraud (2-4); Chryst (5-10); Narduzzi (4-1). Overall 72-87. Since the start of the Gottfried era 51-69.

I was afraid to compile the record in games decided by a field goal or less.

I leave everyone to draw their own conclusions as to the why's of the past. Clearly Pitt is heading in the right direction based on the early returns under Narduzzi.

Thank you for confirming why the Lair is one of the best places to learn and share CFB and Pitt and for the time to put that listings!

YW, Captain. Long time reader here.

After tonight's Panther win, I'll have the courage to look up Pitt's <3 pt. margin record!

I love information, stats and backing up opinions with supporting numbers and analysis so we can all discuss them, it that way we all learn and share. Again, thank you!
