Pitt smashes Virginia Tech 52-22 to near ACC Coastal title

PITTSBURGH -- Qadree Ollison looked at the line of scrimmage, looked at the Virginia Tech end zone 97 long yards away and turned to good friend and fellow Pittsburgh running back Darrin Hall . "I asked him if he thought I could run that far and he was like, `I don't know," Ollison said with a laugh. The answer unfolded over 17 seconds that began with textbook blocking at the snap, included a vicious stiff-arm at midfield and ended with Ollison flipping across the goal line to finish off the longest offensive play in the program's 114-year history to provide a giddy exclamation point as the Panthers took a massive step toward their first ACC Coastal Division title with a dominant 52-22 victory over the reeling Hokies on Saturday. "It was perfect," Ollison said after finishing with 235 yards and three touchdowns.
