In a thrilling, six-overtime contest, Pitt football fell to the Toledo Rockets 48-46 in the GameAbove Sports Bowl at Ford Field in Detroit, Mich.
Under head coach Pat Narduzzi, Pitt has now lost five bowl games and sits with a record of 2-5 in postseason play with losses in the Peach, Sun, Pinstripe and Military Bowls.
The loss wraps up a brutal second half of the 2024 season for Pitt, losing six in a row to bring the Panthers to a final 7-6 record after winning each of its first seven games. The six-game losing skid is the longest in the Narduzzi era and the worst in program history since 1998 when the Panthers lost seven games to close the season under Walt Harris.
