Vincent Davis rushes for 247 yards, Pitt beats Ga Tech 34-20

ATLANA -- , Vincent Davis knew on the very first play it was going to be a very good night. Davis rushed for a career-best 247 yards, including a 74-yard scamper on the first offensive snap and a late touchdown that clinched Pittsburgh's 34-20 victory over Georgia Tech on Thursday. In the makeup of a game that was postponed last month because of COVID-19 issues, the Panthers (6-5, 5-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) finished off a winning regular season and defied their standing as one of the league's worst rushing teams. Davis, whose previous high was 69 yards in last year's Quick Lane Bowl, eclipsed that on the first snap against Georgia Tech (3-7, 3-6). The sophomore burst through a huge hole up the middle and took off with no one around, finally getting dragged down at the Georgia Tech 9 to set up the first of four short field goals by Alex Kessman .
