Local News for University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus

Pitt fans have right to boo

On Sunday, however, the impressive and, for many Pitt fans, reassuring, play of the Panthers was overshadowed by a gesture directed at notoriously inconsistent quarterback Bill Stull. The Heinz Field crowd booed Stull loudly on the second drive of the game after consecutive incomplete passes, and later again in the 3rd quarter. Even more, when Sunseri entered the game, he got a cheer so loud one might have thought he was Dan Marino, or that someone accidentally played “Sweet Caroline” too early.

Freshman RB Lewis explodes for 190 yards in Pitt victory

In a flash, running back Dion Lewis turned a close game into a blowout during Pitt’s 54-27 victory over Buffalo on Saturday. Leading the Bulls by 13 points late in the fourth quarter, the Panthers took over on downs after Buffalo failed to convert on a fourth-down touchdown pass attempt from 20 yards out.

Pittsburgh U. reveals swine flu figures
