PITTSBURGH -- The Pitt Panthers held their first scrimmage of the spring over the weekend and while they weren't able to make it to Acrisure Stadium, there was still game-like intensity at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on Pittsburgh's South Side. 

The Pitt defense ultimately won out - 28-24 was the final score, according to head coach Pat Narduzzi - but everyone was encouraged by what they saw from the offense. While there were some turnover issues to clean up, the Panthers were excited to see the big-play potential that exists with this group. 

Hear everything the Panthers had to say the week after going live against one another for the first time as a 2023 team.
