Pitt's Dion Lewis rushed for 159 yards and a TD to bump Tony Dorsett in the Panthers record books for freshman yardage and Dan Hutchins kicked a 33-yard field goal with 52 seconds left, giving 17th-ranked Pitt a 19-17 victory over North Carolina in the Car Care Bowl.
Winning 10 games for the first time since the Marino era in 1981, Pitt finishes their year at 10-3.
"It's back," Lewis said of Pitt football. "We're not satisfied with just 10 wins. We want to get more next year."
Lewis was only recruited by three schools coming out of high school- Miami of Ohio, Tulane, and Pitt. Head Coach Dave Wannstedt, as legend has it, watched four plays of Lewis on TV and offered Lewis a full ride on the spot.
Nice going for the rest of Division One...
