A year ago, Pitt found itself trailing by 10 points with less than five minutes to go in the Backyard Brawl at home. The Panthers erased that deficit with two touchdowns and a critical three-and-out on defense. On Saturday, Pitt was the team on the other end. Ahead by 10 points, West Virginia got the ball back with 9:23 on the clock in the fourth quarter.
