Pitt is having disappointing 2017, losing all three games against Power 5 opponents by a combined 75 points and needing overtime to get past Youngstown State.
Erv Philips had a day to remember, but it was not enough as Syracuse dropped their second consecutive frustrating game, this time falling at North Carolina State, 33-25.
Even the fastest kickoff return players, as evidenced by the speedy Turner in the ’96 Pitt game, have to dodge obstacles on route to running some 100 yards, so it’s hard to do that in 10 seconds or less.
