Yarnell throws for a TD and runs for another in his second career start as Pitt tops BC 24-16
Associated PressThe AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! Unlike Yarnell’s first start — a victory at Western Michigan in 2022 in which the Panthers leaned heavily on the run — this time, Yarnell had the full playbook at his disposal. “Nobody catching me.” It’s been a lost season for the Panthers, who will fail to reach a bowl game for the second time in head coach Pat Narduzzi’s nine years with the program. The Eagles didn’t help themselves by being called for eight penalties, including a holding penalty midway through the third quarter that took away a run that would have put the ball at the Pitt 1. Pitt’s defense tightened after a solid opening drive by the Eagles and Castellanos — one of the better dual-threat quarterbacks in the country — had trouble finding time to throw while being sacked six times.
