Wake Forest University's football team, the Demon Deacons, secured a 21-17 victory over the University of Pittsburgh's Panthers in a highly intense NCAA football match. The game witnessed impressive performances from Wake Forest's quarterbacks Christian Veilleux and Santino Marucci, as well as a crucial touchdown by Cameron Hite.

The game's outcome left Pitt fans stunned and eager to discuss the unexpected turn of events. The thrilling match between Wake Forest and Pitt showcased the competitive spirit and unpredictability of college football.
Christian Veilleux was 10-of-14 for 134 yards passing on third-down. His 10 completions accounted for eight first-downs and a TD. Pitt as a team was 9-for-20 on third-down. It didn’t convert a single third-down on the ground.
In a 23-second span, Pitt: - Committed 2 unsportsmanlike conduct penalties on the same play - Slid short of the sticks on third down - Punted 32 yards to set up a game-winning TD Eliminate just one of those mistakes, and they probably win.
