PITTSBURGH

Hall’s 3-yard burst on the opening possession of the extra period put the Panthers up and Pitt sophomore defensive back Therran Coleman picked off Syracuse’s Eric Dungey in the end zone on the Orange’s first offensive snap to give the Panthers a stirring victory. Qadree Ollison ran for 192 yards and a score for Pitt (3-3, 2-1 ACC).

Michael Warren II’s career-long 81-yard touchdown helped spur Cincinnati to a win over Tulane for the Bearcats’ first 6-0 start since 2012.

Bryant 21, Duquesne 20

PITTSBURGH

Price Wilson threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to Alex Rasmussen to give Bryant the lead and an opportunistic defense helped the Bulldogs edge Duquesne. Wilson found Rasmussen alone in the end zone with a minute left in the third quarter for his 14th TD pass this season. It was the first TD catch for Rasmussen, a junior. Bryant (4-1, 2-0 Northeast) had a nearly six-minute drive in the fourth quarter that left the Dukes at their own 20 where they managed only 5 yards on their final possession. Bryant’s Tomas Wright created a fumble and Robert Brown returned it 46 yards for a second-quarter score. Turnovers ended three Duquesne (3-3, 0-1) drives in the red zone. Daniel Parr threw for two touchdowns with Nehari Crawford collecting 113 yards receiving for Duquesne.
