Jim Hammett

I didn't know what to expect out of Justin Holmes when he transferred from Marshall, but he's caught touchdowns in Pitt's two biggest games of the year.

It was pretty obviously a first down on the field. Then the ACC stopped the next play, on what was going to be another big gain for Pitt.

So far in today's game Pitt has been called for:

Delay of Game
Illegal block below the wait

Both of those calls happened on DEFENSE...

Six minutes into the game:

Pitt: -12 total yards
Miami: 1 total yard

Carson Beck has been sacked seven times this season coming into today.

Miami's first possession ends on a 15-yard sack by Pitt's Isaiah Neal.

**Update**

Sean FitzSimmons is not dressed.

Desmond Reid, Rrey Butkowski available in Pitt's season finale against No. 12 Miami Pitt received good news ahead of its final regular season game

Pitt is expected to have Desmond Reid, Trey Butkowski, Francis Brewu and Ryan Carretta available against Miami. Only Sean FitzSimmons is listed as a 'game time decision' ahead of today's game:

I was given Pitt's senior day list and starting center and notably senior captain Lyndon Cooper is not listed, suggesting there is a possibility he returns to the program for a third season.

Soon.

VIDEO: Capel, Dunning and Minor recap Pitt's 67-66 win over Ohio State Video from Pitt's postgame press conference following the win over Ohio State

See what Jeff Capel, Jake Diebler, Damarco Minor and Barry Dunning Jr. had to say about tonight's 67-66 Pitt win:

Minor's buzzer beater lifts Pitt to 67-66 win over Ohio State Pitt improved to 5-3 on the season with a dramatic Black Friday win over Ohio State

Quick recap from The Pete:

Cam Corhen is up to 14 points and 10 rebounds, his fourth double-double in eight games.

I'm guessing it's not something either side will extend.

But Pitt/OSU Black Friday Basketball every year wouldn't be the worst new tradition to start annually.

How it looks on paper

Panthers doing well on the glass with a 15-11 edge thus far.

Ohio State is just 6-18 from the floor with four turnovers.

Pitt is doing good work on defense

The scary thing is, Ohio State can probably bang like 5-6 three-pointers in a row at any point in this game.

Based off the first 10 minutes, it doesn't seem like the type of game Damarco Minor can take a break.

Panthers basically did not get one good look when he was on the bench.

I don't know if this will last for 40 minutes, but that was probably the best 4 minutes I watched Pitt play this season.

Pitt's starters for the Ohio State game:

Damarco Minor
Omari Witherspoon
Barry Dunning Jr.
Roman Siulepa
Cameron Corhen

A Pitt spokesperson confirmed Brandin Cummings is OUT tonight

I did not spot Brandin Cummings for the early portion of warmups. He has missed two of Pitt's first seven games with an injury.

Wonder if they'll turn down the music at the Pete, I'm trying to watch the UGA/GT game.

The 3-2-1 Column: Getting set for Pitt's regular season finale with Miami Pitt has a big one tomorrow and we break it down from every angle in the 3-2-1 Column

A big game tomorrow, a not so big game tonight and signing day next week. We touch on a little bit of everything in this week's 3-2-1 Column:

I used to scoff at lunch-eating families for Thanksgiving. But this 6:00 dinner is proving to be a challenge.

Truly a top 3 concert ever for me, just because of the randomness of it.

Jack White at Mr. Smalls last September = only concert I left where I simply couldn’t hear.

Doing some work on my computer and had the parade on mute and just looked up and thought, 'Is that really Busta Rhymes?'

This appeared on my Facebook timeline.

Pitt climbs back into the CFP rankings at No. 22, one spot ahead of Georgia Tech after beating the Yellow Jackets 42-28 over the weekend.

Rasheem Biles, Braylan Lovelace and Kyle Louis the past two seasons:

12 interceptions
6 touchdowns

There just simply isn't a linebacker trio like that in all of college football.
