Description

Post-Gazette Pitt insiders Stephen Thompson and Abby Schnable break down the Panthers' 34-27 loss to Louisville on Saturday at Acrisure Stadium.


What went wrong for Pat Narduzzi's team after the Panthers leapt out to a 17-0 lead in the early going? What's next for the quarterback position in Kade Bell's offense after Eli Holstein was benched in the fourth quarter? Could we really see Cole Gonzales or even freshman Mason Heintschel start over him?


How can the Panthers clean up many of the issues that plagued them against the Cardinals, including penalties and a lack of execution, especially on third downs? Where do the Panthers stand injury-wise? And what does this loss in their ACC opener mean for them going forward? Our duo answers those questions and more.
