Syracuse football: Orange can’t overcome mistakes in 27-13 loss to Pittsburgh
Another loss in the Steel City
The Syracuse football team suffered a 27-13 loss to the Pittsburgh Panthers in a game marred by mistakes and penalties. The Orange fell behind 17-0 early, struggling with run defense and tackling, while the Panthers ran the ball 37 times for 245 yards. Both teams failed to capitalize on their opening possessions, with the Panthers scoring first thanks to penalties and a well-executed drive.
Syracuse's second quarter performance was erratic, with a touchdown finally coming from Ahmad Miller after a play interference call. Despite a brief resurgence, the Orange's offensive line faltered, and they missed crucial tackles, allowing Pitt to dominate the running game. Miller had a solid day with 78 yards, while Hatcher contributed both in passing and rushing.
The defense managed to hold, but key turnovers from Angeli's interceptions sealed the Panthers' victory. The loss leaves Syracuse with significant questions and a challenging road to recovery as they prepare for their next game.
