Pitt holding WVU

With 15 minutes left, Pitt leads West Virginia, 10-7. Pitt just missed a short field goal that would have extended the lead to six. What a disappointment it would be for WVU and Missouri to lose tonight. (The score is tied at 14 at halftime.)

Update: 9:13 Pitt just completed a 26-yard pass to extend its drive.

Update: 9:19 WVU is driving after starting at its 3 yard line. the ball is now on the 26. Oh, no. Pitt just recovered a fumble. Pitt is playing well enough to win and is capitalizing on West Virginia's mistakes.

Update: 9:30 A nice goal-line stand by West Virginia saved the game for the No. 2 Mountaineers. Pitt's Conor Lee hit a field goal to extend the lead to 6. West Virginia has a shot. ... A 47-yard kick return has it in good position for a comeback.... Pitt just stopped WVU on fourth down.

Update: This is the game. It's third down, Pitt. A holding call just wiped out a first down that could have won the game. ... WVU holds!

Update: 9:47 Pitt just held WVU to virtually clinch the game. With OU leading No. 1 Missouri, things are about to get really interesting.
