Kyle Craig - Welcome to the Pitt News live blog of the Pitt vs. Syracuse contest, live from Heinz Field. I'm Kyle Craig and I'll be blogging about all the action during this Big East contest.

11:59

Kyle Craig - And the Panthers have taken the field in front of, what could generously be called, a modest crowd here on Saturday afternoon.

12:01

[Comment From Pitt Rulz LOL SMILE]
How many pink shirts? I think they're all soooo super cute :))

12:01

Kyle Craig - I would say that there are probably 20 pink shirts in the student section. The disturbing trend continues.

12:03

Kyle Craig - Pitt will kick off to start the game ...

12:04

Kyle Craig - Mike Jones with a minimal kick return.

12:05

Kyle Craig - Well, there's Greg Paulus' first completion of the day. He's come a long way from his days as Duke's starting point guard.

12:05

Kyle Craig - And a huge gain for Syracuse. That should wake up anyone who thought Pitt would roll over Cuse.

12:06

Kyle Craig - Paulus' pass is incomplete and it will bring up an important 3rd down conversion opportunity.

12:07

Kyle Craig - A good effort by the Pitt defense to snuf out that quick hitter and hold Cuse to a field goal.

12:07

Alex Oltmanns - Good job by the defense there to hold them in the red zone

12:08

Kyle Craig - And Syracuse's field goal attempt is good. 6 plays, 71 yards, 2:39 off the clock, all ended by a 29 yard field goal.

12:08

Kyle Craig - Cam Saddler back for the Pitt kick return. Keep an eye on him, he's very dynamic.

12:09

Kyle Craig - ... And by dynamic, I mean foolish, because that was a really bone-headed play by Saddler.

12:10

Alex Oltmanns - Cam's getting an earful from Wannstedt on the sideline

12:10

Kyle Craig - Hynoski gives Pitt some breathing room with his signature tough running.

12:10

Kyle Craig - Important third down from the Syracuse perspective, as they try to get a 3-and-out.

12:11

[Comment From Michael Cole]
Vintage Hynoski!

12:11

Kyle Craig - You are correct Michael, and there he is again with a very nice catch and run.

12:12

Kyle Craig - Cedric McGee with a big gain off the end-around play. The Panther offense is starting to roll.
