Pitt answers, retakes lead 26-21

OCTOBER 02, 2008

Just as USF had regained the lead with a big touchdown drive, the Bulls defense dropped the ball, allowing Pittsburgh to drive 60 yards in three plays and take a 26-21 lead with 4:43 to play.

After a kickoff out of bounds, Pitt quarterback Bill Stull found a wide-open Oderick Turner for a 38-yard gain, then LeSean McCoy rushed 19 yards to the 3-yard line. McCoy, over 100 yards for the game, punched in for the touchdown, silencing a Raymond James Stadium crowd.

Pitt went for two after the touchdown but failed when Stull fumbled the snap.
