There won’t be many days with more emotional punch than Saturday had for the Pitt football team.
It was Senior Day for 19 players. It was the last game at Heinz Field this season for the whole squad. There was a revenge factor at play after last season’s close loss to Virginia Tech. Bowl eligibility was one the line, as was a chance to move one step closer to a potential Coastal Division championship.
The Panthers responded to an emotionally-charged day by putting in their most dominant performance in a long time. Now they get to travel to Winston-Salem to face Wake Forest on Saturday, where they can clinch the division title - as long as they don’t have a letdown.
So how can Pitt match the energy it had at Heinz Field on Saturday? According to the players, the answer is one they already know well.
