SACK! Turnover on downs. Tennessee gets a HUGE stop on fourth and three after Narduzzi opted to go for it. Had to have it.
TOUCHDOWN BRU MCCOY! Hooker makes up for that mistake and tosses a lofty touchdown pass to McCoy. Dropped it right in the bucket for six. 17-14, Pittsburgh.
Hooker missed Tillman deep for six. Wide open.
Banks dialing up pressure and gets burned — Slovis finds his tight end who hurdled a defender and ended up going the distance. Tennessee HAS to start getting home with this pressure. 17-7, Pitt.
Tennessee coming hard after Slovis. Plenty of hits on him to this point, could start to add up.

INTERCEPTION. Trevon Flowers grabs a tipped ball in the back of the endzone to keep Tennessee breathing.
Tennessee opted to go for it on fourth down and failed. A hold on Spraggins tripped up what looked to be a promising drive, and Hooker couldn’t connect with Tillman on the fourth down throw.
Pitt rips off a huge touchdown run, right up the gut — wide open spaces. UGLY start here, the polar opposite of last season. 10-0, Pitt.
Dreadful start for the Tennessee offense. Broken play on second down and a sack on third down. Out of sync early on.
Pitt walks right down the field but can’t finish off the drive. Mumpfield dropped a touchdown pass, but the Panthers knocked through a field goal. 3-0, Pitt.
Tennessee opens with the ball and quickly goes three and out. Hooker missed an open Hyatt over the middle on third down.
