DETROIT (AP) — Pittsburgh players took punches, and one was hit with spit, and the Panthers still kept their cool in critical moments to win a bowl game for the first time in five appearances...

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — Coach Pat Narduzzi wasn't worried about a jinx. The Pitt coach had his equipment staff to bring the commemorative ACC caps and T-shirts all the way from Pittsburgh.

"I said, 'Get them. It's going to happen,'" Narduzzi said.

It did happen — thanks to Kenny Pickett's career day.
