Panthers running back LeSean McCoy ran for 95 yards on 24 carries, including a 47-yard touchdown run in the third quarter that gave Pitt the lead for good. The game was tied, 3-3, at halftime, but Pitt (9-3, 5-2 Big East) took advantage of five Connecticut interceptions to blow the game open. Senior wide receiver Derek Kinder caught four balls for 87 yards and a touchdown for the Panthers. Star Huskies running back Donald Brown carried 34 times for 189 yards and a score, but Connecticut (7-5, 3-4 Big East) quarterbacks Tyler Lorenzen and Zach Frazer combined to complete 6-of-31 passes for 80 yards and five interceptions.
