Pitt football is back in the win column! The Panthers snapped their three-game losing streak with a convincing 44-21 victory over Georgia Tech, improving to 6-3 on the season. And perhaps most importantly, Pitt finally looked like the team we've grown accustomed to seeing on defense.In Episode 41 of the Pittsburgh Football Podcast, Chris Gates breaks down Pitt's impressive defensive turnaround, including five sacks, 10 tackles for loss, and a much-needed improvement on third downs. After several disappointing defensive performances, the Panthers got back to pressuring the quarterback and making plays in the backfield.Offensively, Damon Ferguson and the running game led the way, taking pressure off quarterback Holden Geriner. While Geriner finished just 13-of-30 passing, several dropped passes contributed to those numbers, and his performance was better than the box score suggests. He protected the football, managed the offense, and did what Pitt needed him to do.There are still areas to clean up, including dropped passes and 10 penalties for 95 yards. But this was an encouraging performance that may have provided a blueprint for how Pitt can continue winning down the stretch.Can the Panthers build on this momentum and finish the season strong?--Subscribe everywhere » https://pittsburghfootballpodcast.transistor.fm/subscribe PFP Website » https://pittsburghfootballpodcast.com/Join our Mailing List! » https://mailchi.mp/f0b2fd6460f5/pittsburgh-football-podcast-mailing-list-sign-up --TIME STAMPS:00:00 - Introduction03:59 - Two Main Takeaways from Pitt's Win12:01 - Pitt's Defense Was Dominate in the Most Important Way21:49 - Damon Ferguson Leads the Way30:59 - Can Pitt Finish 9-3?
