PITTSBURGH (AP) — Freshman running back Damon Ferguson ran for a season-high 185 yards and two touchdowns as Pittsburgh eased past Georgia Tech 34-11. The Panthers snapped a three-game losing streak with the victory to improve to 6-3 overall and become bowl-eligible. Holden Gernier passed for 180 yards passing and a touchdown to win for the first time as a starter. Georgia Tech fell to 2-6 with the loss. Georgia Tech’s Alberto Mendoza struggled, passing for just 81 yards before being replaced in the fourth quarter by Grady Adamson. Georgia Tech hosts Louisville next week. Pitt is off until Nov. 13 when it welcomes Florida State to Acrisure Stadium.
