Before anyone could ask the only question about Pitt football on anyone’s mind, Pat Narduzzi tried to get behind the steering wheel of the runaway bus and bring it to a stop. “I know it’ll probably come up,” he said, reading the room correctly, “so I figured I’d address it...

John Steigerwald: Pitt’s Pat Narduzzi could learn a lot from Pete Carroll

I wonder if Pat Narduzzi watched the Pittsburgh Steelers-Seattle Seahawks game. If he did, he saw a coach, the Seahawks’ Pete Carroll, play to win, which is exactly what Narduzzi didn’t do when his Pitt team had fourth-and-goal at the Penn State 1 on Saturday. Narduzzi’s Pitt team was down...
Pitt can’t run to Pat Narduzzi’s satisfactionVideo

Pat Narduzzi made many statements after Pitt’s 17-10 loss to Penn State, but two stand out for those people — including the coach himself — who believe good teams are built on a strong running game. The overriding talking point is Narduzzi’s baffling decision to kick a field goal, down...
History repeats itself in Penn State victory at Beaver Stadium, 37 years later

Pat Narduzzi isn’t the only Pitt coach to opt for a field goal in the fourth quarter of a close game when his team was on the 1-yard line. But he’s the only one to defend the decision. In 1982, No. 5 Pitt was trailing No. 2 Penn State, 16-7,...
Penn State’s defense makes up for lack of offense vs. Pitt

UNIVERSITY PARK — There wasn’t much offense in Penn State’s 17-10 victory over Pitt, and coach James Franklin noticed. “We had guys behind them, but a couple of plays we overthrew,” he said. “A couple of them we left inside, especially the vertical balls. “We want our receivers to leave...
Kevin Gorman: No defense for Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi’s costly call against Penn StateVideo

UNIVERSITY PARK — Pat Narduzzi dared to defend a decision that defied logic with an explanation that was inexplicable. The Pitt coach had his Panthers in perfect position to score an upset over No. 13 Penn State: Trailing by seven points, they had a fourth-and-goal at the 1 with 4...

Kevin Gorman’s Take 5: Pat Narduzzi’s decision costs Pitt in final game against Penn State

Pitt and Penn State should play every year. Let’s start there. The 100th meeting between the schools, played after a 40-minute lightning delay and before a crowd of 108,661 at Beaver Stadium, showed the rivalry remains true. That it came down to the final seconds, a Hail Mary by Kenny...
Pitt-Penn State game kicks off 40 minutes late

STATE COLLEGE — The Pitt/Penn State game started at 12:40 p.m. — 40 minutes late — after the threat of lightning left the area. Prior to and during the delay, Penn State officials closed the gates, suspended entry into the stadium and cleared people who were already inside from uncovered...
What if Pitt loses to Penn State, but it’s a close game?

Here’s the thing — the most important thing — about the Pitt-Penn State game Saturday at Beaver Stadium: The outcome matters, of course, but how Pitt competes against the 13th-ranked team in the nation counts just as much. Unless the college football landscape changes dramatically over the next two months,...
Kevin Gorman: If Pitt wants to revive Penn State rivalry, the Panthers need to win
