Canes Grades: UM Jumps Out Early, Hold Off Pittsburgh To Win Finale 29-24
Luckily, they combined to produce a 29-24 win over host Pittsburgh Friday afternoon at Heinz Field – giving the Canes their fourth win in five games. Miami (8-4, 5-3 ACC) led 29-10 with just under seven minutes left in the fourth quarter, but Pittsburgh (8-4, 6-2) made fans squirm late, scoring two touchdowns in the final minutes and actually getting the ball back with 11 seconds left. The Panthers tried a "Miami-esque" backwards pass play, but it folded when the ball rolled out of bounds after as Canes defenders pushed the play towards the sideline.
