Officials from the Sun Bowl invited the Panthers to the game slated to start Dec. 31 in El Paso, Texas, after Pitt defeated Connecticut, 34-10, today, the Post-Gazette reported. With Cincinnati headed to the Orange Bowl as the Big East’s BCS representative and a Big 12 team tagged’ for the Gator Bowl, the Sun Bowl has the second selection of Big East schools. Pitt’s victory confirmed that the team will at least share second place in the conference. West Virginia and Rutgers were other possibilities for the Sun Bowl, but Pitt had the inside track on the spot if it won today. The bowl game will be the first for the Panthers under coach Dave Wannstedt. Look for more details tomorrow on pittnews.com.
