Date: January 7, 2012
Location: Birmingham, Alabama
Venue: Legion Field
Teams: Pittsburgh Panthers vs. SMU Mustangs
It’s a second straight bowl season in Birmingham, Alabama for the 6-6 Pittsburgh Panthers, as this marks consecutive years the team has played in the Compass Bowl. First-year coach Todd Graham is hoping that his team can reach the heights of a “high-octane” offense that he preached all year long, but the Panthers never realized. They will have to meet those expectations to beat the 7-5 SMU Mustangs, whose prolific offense has a 3,000 yard passer in JJ McDermott and two almost-1,000 yard receivers in Cole Beasley and Darius Johnson. It’s sure to be a legendary fight at Legion Field on January 7th–get your seats today!
