Homecoming came a week early for Pittsburgh natives and former Panthers Bricen Garner and Therran Coleman, who both started for Western Michigan in a 44-41 upset win over their former school at Heinz Field last weekend.

Pitt’s defeat to Western Michigan this weekend was more than just their first notch in the loss column. The Panthers’ pride and momentum was wounded and to get back on track, their play needs drastic improvement.

Pitt football was outcoached and outgunned by Western Michigan on Saturday afternoon. The Broncos capitalized on every key moment and took home an 44-41 upset win in the first game ever played between the two schools.
