I know this is a site for Panthers in the NFL/NBA (I created the site, so I guess I should), but considering the lack of video highlights readily available for recent Pitt games I have decided to take this task upon myself.
When a game is available on tv in the Pittsburgh area and my Tivo cooperates in recording it, I will be posting video highlights of the games within a few days or so. This game is a little late because I just decided to do this yesterday.
I usually keep the games on my Tivo until the next week’s game, so if there are plays you want to see that aren’t here, leave a comment on the highlight post with a description of the play and as close to a time in the game when it happened as you can and I’ll do my best. Usually I will post scoring plays and turnovers by default, but probably not field goals. Oh, and this is a PITT site showing PITT highlights, so by default there will be no scoring plays for other teams or bad plays by Pitt, unless they are requested.
So, without further babbling…
We’ll start off with a 37 yard pass from Tyler Palko to Derek Kinder. Unbelievable hands and concentration by Kinder to hold on. This was with about 5 minutes left in the 2nd quarter:
More highlights after the jump…
Pitt couldn’t score on that drive, but a few minutes later, with just over 2 minutes left in the half, Kennard Cox picked off a Cincy screen pass to give Pitt great field position:
Palko quickly followed that up with a 15-yard touchdown strike to Oderick Turner, and Pitt was up 7-0:
On the first play from scrimmage of the second half after a touchback, Palko made what seemed like a simple out to Derek Kinder. Kinder promptly turned it into an 80-yard touchdown, and Pitt was up 14-0:
The next score for Pitt came on a safety halfway through the 3rd quarter, and Pitt was up 16-0:
Pitt continued it’s quick-strike offense on the first play from scrimmage following the safety. A questionable pass interference call on this play, but Kinder ended up making the adjustment and waltzing into the end zone with a 55-yard TD. Pitt goes up 23-0:
After a Pitt field goal and fubles that led to Cincy scores, Darrele Revis sealed the deal with a 57-yard interception return for a TD, his second of the season. Final score, Pitt 33 Cincy 15:
