Pittsburgh's offense looks sluggish in win over Ohio University

PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh's first game in the post-Larry Fitzgerald era was a near-flop, as a rebuilt offense did little against underdog Ohio and the Panthers' key touchdowns in a 24-3 victory Saturday night resulted from a blocked punt and an interception.
Tyler Palko looked nervous in his debut as Pitt's quarterback replacement for Rod Rutherford, completing only six passes in an offense that effectively generated only 10 points against one of Division I-A's weakest teams.
