Postell earns Big East honors

Postell made two key plays back to back in the third quarter that provided the Panthers with the momentum needed to carry them to victory.

Leading 10-3, Postell delivered a blow to a Bobcat receiver, stopping him short of the first down. On the very next play, he made a perfect read on Ohio quarterback Ryan Hawk’s pass, intercepting the ball and taking it 42 yards for a touchdown.

It was the first time Pitt returned an interception for a touchdown since Shawntae Spencer’s 68-yard return against Virginia Tech on Nov. 3, 2001.

Postell shares the weekly award with Boston College linebacker Ray Henderson.
