The five-game losing streak is the first since they lost the final five games to end the 2006 season. This includes a 48-25 loss on the road to the then ranked No. 20 SMU Mustangs in Week 10, 24-19 to the Virginia Cavaliers in Week 11 and 24-20 to the then ranked No.

Boston College defensive tackle Ty Clemons picked off a pass in the middle of the Pitt backfield and rumbled down the field for a score, bringing a roar not only from the fans but from his sideline, too. Clemons scored on a 55-yard pick-six, Reed Harris made a leaping 28-yard TD grab over a defensive back and BC beat Pittsburgh 34-23 on Saturday.
