1977; The Pitt Panthers beat the Georgia Bulldogs, 27-3, in the Sugar Bowl to maintain a top ranking among college football teams.

Will it ever occur again for PITT Football?

Was an 11 year old kid then and loved the Panthers and TD Toney, and still do. Sadly the answer to your question is a resounding no. Perhaps things will change one day, but, it won't happen in my lifetime. I am just hoping for a season of double digit wins and a nice bowl before I go to the happy hunting ground.

It was easy work for the Panthers...Georgia had no shot.

No way. But I do think that if we could have combined the 2016 offense with this years (with no opt outs) or last years defense we could have made the playoff. But we would have gotten beat bad in playoff. It just seems impossible that we would have enough on both sides of the ball at the same time to win like in 76
