Among the significant plays for BYU against then third-ranked Pitt (AP Poll) was a successful goal-line stand in the second quarter which gave the Cougars the momentum and a 3-0 halftime lead thanks to Lee Johnson's 37-yard field goal.

In the third quarter, BYU surrendered two interceptions which led to back-to-back Panther TD's including a 78-yard score by safety Bill Callahan.

In his first starting nod, junior quarterback Robbie Bosco bounced back after teammate Mark Allen intercepted his second Pitt pass.

Following a 12-yard TD run by BYU's Lakei Heimuli, Bosco connected to Adam Haysbert for a 50-yard strike with 1:30 remaining to take the lead. The ever-present Cougar defense then snuffed out Pitt's final drive when Jim Herrmann and Leon White dropped the reserve Panther QB on a fourth dowr at the BYU 30.

Following this game, which was televised live on ESPN, BYU moved into the wire service rankings for the first time: 12th in UPI and 11th ir AP, while Pitt fell to 17th and 20th, respectively. BYU is now 1-0.
