With the game tied at 45 and no timeouts remaining, the Panthers needed sophomore quarterback Kenny Pickett to lead them downfield with just over a minute left to play.
Pickett had struggled up to that point, completing just four of 13 passes for 78 yards and a touchdown. But he came up clutch when Pitt needed it most, completing all four of his passes — including the 25-yard game-winner to junior receiver Maurice Ffrench — for 72 yards to lift the Panthers over Duke, 52-45, with five seconds left.
