Panthers Host Yellow Jackets In Pivotal Acc Game

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh can bring the jumbled ACC Coastal Division into slightly better focus on Saturday against Georgia Tech. Or the Yellow Jackets can snap a two-game losing streak and turn an already murky division race into something borderline unrecognizable. Pitt resurrected its season with a rousing 21-16 triumph over Virginia Tech last week, ending a three-game skid behind quarterback Chad Voytik. The sophomore ran for 118 yards, passed for 92 more and even caught the first pass of his college career as the Panthers (4-3, 2-1) jumped out early and held on. Losses to Duke and North Carolina followed, the latter a 48-43 shootout in which the Tar Heels drove 75 yards to score the game-winning touchdown with 12 seconds left. Suddenly, all of Georgia Tech's early season momentum has vanished thanks to a defense that is allowing 6.79 yards per play. The senior had 11 tackles, six of them for loss, to go with a sack and two forced fumbles in a performance that may have been his best in a year in which he won every major award for a player at his position. The Panthers unveiled a new wrinkle in their offense against the Hokies, when they ran a lot of quarterback read options that gave Voytik the choice of handing it to James Conner or taking off. The Panthers handed Georgia Tech its only loss in 1918 and beat the Yellow Jackets (then the Golden Tornado) on three straight visits to the Steel City.
