Pitt keeps finding a way​

Pitt delivered another improbable rally, roaring back from down 10 late in the fourth quarter to stun West Virginia and prevail 38-34 in the Backyard Brawl.

With just over 3 minutes remaining and the Panthers facing second-and-30, quarterback Eli Holstein heaved a ball into the end zone. Jumping over triple coverage, Daejon Reynolds came down with a 40-yard touchdown reception -- his first catch of the season -- to pull Pitt within a field goal. After forcing a quick punt, Pitt came right back, and Derrick Davis Jr. scored the winning touchdown on a 1-yard plunge with only seconds remaining.

With last week's 21-point comeback victory over Cincinnati, Pitt became the first FBS team since 2020 Tulsa to overcome double-digit, fourth-quarter deficits to win in consecutive games, according to ESPN Research.

A team with this much resiliency could become a surprise factor in the wide-open ACC title race
