Pitt is facing Toledo in the GameAbove Sports Bowl after a 7-0 start

Associated Press  

DETROIT — At the beginning of November, the Pittsburgh Panthers were 7-0 and dreaming of finishing the season in the College Football Playoff. Pitt went 0-5 in November, losing to SMU, Virginia, Clemson, Louisville and Boston College before accepting an invitation to the GameAbove Sports Bowl on Thursday at Ford Field, where they face Toledo. “It’s a great opportunity for our fan base to support the team in our last game of the season,” Toledo coach Jason Candle said. Not much of a ground game While Toledo quarterback Tucker Gleason threw for 2,457 yards and 22 touchdowns, including 949 yards and 11 scores to wideout Jerjuan Newton, they don’t pose much of a threat on the ground. He did score six times, but the Rockets were likely to struggled badly against a Pitt defense that allowed only 3.1 yards per carry and held opponents to 17 rushing touchdowns in 12 games.
