The Pitt football team can only wait for its bowl game announcement now after losing to Miami in a route, 38-7, on Saturday.

Miami’s Carson Beck completed 23 of 29 passes for 267 yards and three touchdowns for the number 12 Hurricanes. Malachi Toney caught 13 passes for 126 yards and he also threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Elija Lofton in the second quarter, giving the ‘Canes a lead they never gave up.
Pitt finishes the regular season 8-4, and 6-2 in the ACC. Freshman quarterback Mason Heintschel was 22 of 32 for 199 yards and a touchdown and interception. He was sacked four times, all in the first half, and suffered a leg injury but returned to the game.
