PITTSBURGH – Like many people in western Pennsylvania Sunday afternoon, Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi was watching the end of the Pittsburgh Steelers-Baltimore Ravens game when he found out his Panthers are going to the GoBowling Military Bowl to face East Carolina.

The Panthers and Pirates will kick off a full day’s slate of bowl games when they take the field at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium at 11 a.m. Dec. 27 on ESPN.
