ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Pittsburgh coach Paul Chryst thought his team did a solid job most of the game containing Navy and its high-powered rushing attack.

The Panthers, however, appeared to tire in the fourth quarter and allowed the Midshipmen to put together a late rally. A 30-yard field-goal by Nick Sloan as time expired gave Navy a 24-21 victory. The Panthers allowed 17 points in the fourth quarter after dominating most of the game.

“Give Navy credit, in a 60-minute game, they found a way to win,” Chryst said. “I thought our guy’s effort was nothing short of what I expected. Obviously, we did not make enough plays to win the game.”

Tom Savage completed 20 of 27 pass attempts for 203 yards and two touchdowns for Pitt (4-3).

Pittsburgh’s Devin Street caught nine passes for 96 yards with a touchdown and became the school’s all-time leading receiver. Street now has 186 career receptions, surpassing Latef Grim, who had 178 from 1998-2000.

Trailing 14-13 midway through the fourth quarter, Savage threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to freshman Tyler Boyd to give the Panthers a 20-14 lead. Street then caught a short pass for the 2-point conversion.

Navy responded on the ensuing possession and tied the game on a 10-play, 71-yard drive capped by a 2-yard run by quarterback Keenan Reynolds with 3:53 left in the game.

The Midshipmen (4-3) snapped a two-game losing streak and need just two wins to become eligible for a bowl game.

Navy finally got into a rhythm in the second half and put together their most impressive drive of the game to take a 14-13 lead with 14:28 left in the game.

Reserve fullback Quinton Singleton’s 9-yard scoring run capped the 16-play, 91-yard scoring drive that took 8:15 off the clock. The teams traded touchdowns in the fourth quarter before Sloan kicked the game-winner.

“It’s every kickers dream to be in this situation,” Sloan said. “It’s definitely what separates the good kickers from the bad kickers. I just thought of it as just another kick. That’s all I can do.”

“Pittsburgh is a good football team,” Reynolds said. “They are a big, BCS team. This is a good win for our program.”

The Midshipmen then forced a 3-and-out on the Panthers’ next possession and got the ball at Pitt’s 49.
