AP Top 25 College Football Scores: #25 Pittsburgh Panthers Edge West Virginia Mountaineers with Two Late TDs

LeSean McCoy rushed for 183 yards and two touchdowns, Bill Stull threw for 156 yards and a TD and the #25 Pittsburgh Panthers (8-3, 4-2) scored a pair of touchdowns in the fourth quarter to knock off the West Virginia Mountaineers (7-4, 4-2) 19-15 to hand the Big East title to the Cincinnati Bearcats.

 

The Panthers started quick as Stull led the Panthers down the field on their first drive and hit Derek Kinder on a 30-yard touchdown pass for a 7-0 lead. While Pittsburgh started quick they wouldn’t put points on the board again until the fourth quarter.

 

Before that could happen the Mountaineers inched their way past the Panthers as Pat McAfee kicked a 20-yard field goal in the second quarter and added another on West Virginia’s opening drive of the third quarter to cut their deficit to 7-6.

 

After stopping the Panthers on their next drive the Mountaineers grabbed the lead when Pat White scored on a 54-yard run but their two-point conversion failed and they led 12-6.

 

Pittsburgh looked like they caught a break in the fourth quarter after intercepting White but Stull quickly handed the ball back to the Mountaineers with an interception which led to McAfee’s third field goal.

 

After Pittsburg failed on their next possession the Mountaineers turned the ball over and the Panthers finally put a scoring drive together as McCoy scored on a 5-yad run but they trailed by two, 15-13, after the two-point attempt failed.

 

The Panthers defense then forced the Mountaineers to punt and after taking possession Pittsburgh relied almost exclusively on McCoy and the sophomore running back shined as he led the squad down the field and scored on a one-yard run with 52 seconds left in the game to lock up the game.

 

With the win the Panthers ended the Mountaineers chance of winning the Big East, handing the title to the Cincinnati Bearcats.
