PITTSBURGH -- The Pitt Panthers suffered their second defeat of the season and first defeat at home against the Virginia Cavaliers in Week 11, 24-19.

The Panthers led at halftime, but a number of mistakes, controversial referee decisions and poor offensive execution led the Cavaliers to comeback and win it.

Pitt dropped out of both the AP Poll and Coaches Poll and also fell out of the College Football Playoff Rankings, as they are now 7-2 overall and 3-2 in ACC play in 2024.

Pitt switched up their offensive line around in the game vs. Virginia. Redshirt sophomore Ryan Baer moved from right tackle to left tackle, redshirt junior Terrence Enos Jr. moved from left tackle to left guard and redshirt sophomore Isaiah Montgomery earned his first collegiate start at right tackle.

The Panthers also saw two of their best offensive options suffer injury in back-to-back drives in the third quarter.

Senior wide receiver Konata Mumpfield hit the ground hard laying out for a catch and needed medical attention. Redshirt freshman quarterback Eli Holstein slid and suffered a hard hit from a Virginia linebacker, knocking him out of the game as well.

Redshirt senior Rashad Battle, who only played two snaps vs. SMU, didn't play in this matchup. Fellow redshirt senior Tamon Lynum got his first start of the season at cornerback in his place and played 72 snaps.
