Perhaps no player in a Pittsburgh Panthers uniform has been under more scrutiny than Pitt quarterback Tino Sunseri has over the course of the past couple of seasons. However while a lot of the criticism is well deserved, Sunseri took a big step towards silencing his critics, at least for one week, with an outstanding and gutsy performance in a 35-17 upset win over then No. 13 Virginia Tech. Sunseri's performance, in which he completed 68 percent of his passes (19 of 28) for 283 yards with ... Read More
