The Pittsburgh Panthers looked down and out, trailing by as much as 21 points late in the third quarter, but they mounted a historic comeback to defeat the Cincinnati Bearcats 28-27, their largest comeback win since 1971. Cincinnati initially surged ahead, thanks to stellar play from quarterback Brendan Sorsby, who threw for two touchdowns in the first quarter, and Corey Kiner's dominant ground game.
