Tough loss for Pitt.
The season opener didn't go well for the Pittburgh Panthers as they were downed by underdog Eastern Michigan 28-7.
The in-experience of quarterback Bill Stull really showed as he threw 5 interceptions and completed only 2 passes, none of them for touchdowns.
On the other hand, runningback LaRod S-Howlings set the record for longest run for a touchdown in NCAA history. The previous record was 75 yards and LaRod knocked in 80. LaRod had the only Panther score in the game so he earned the title of team player of the game for this week.
