Pitt is hosting New Hampshire at Heinz Field today. Here’s the latest from the game.

FIRST QUARTER
Pitt won the toss and deferred, putting the Panthers’ much-maligned defense on the field to open the game. That decision was a good one for the home team, as Pitt’s defense sacked UNH quarterback Bret Edwards for a 13-yard loss on first down, sniffed out a screen pass for a two-yard loss on second down and then wrapped up Edwards in the end zone on third down.

Edwards threw the ball away but was flagged for intentional grounding, giving the Panthers a safety and the first lead of the game.

Following the safety, UNH gave the ball to Pitt on a free kick and the Panthers started at their own 23. After a sweep run by Shocky Jacques-Louis lost three yards, Kenny Pickett fired a deep pass to Jordan Addison on a post route, and the sophomore receiver pulled it in for a 47-yard gain.

Pickett scrambled for seven on the next play before Vincent Davis busted a 19-yard run to get to the 7. Davis took the next handoff for six but was stuffed on second and third downs before Pickett snuck in on fourth-and-goal from the 1.
