PITTSBURGH -- The Pitt Panthers suffered a devastating blow to its offensive line late in the fourth quarter against Tennessee. With the Panthers on knocking on the door of a game-tying touchdown, Drexel went down holding his right leg. 

He had to be assisted off the field by Pitt trainers and redshirt freshman Terrance Moore replaced him. The extent and nature of his injury is unknown. 

The Panthers were already down their leading rusher and a starting offensive lineman entering the game and then lost their starting quarterback and a pair of defensive linemen.
