Pittsburgh (2-0) defeated Tennessee (1-1), 41-34, in the Johnny Majors Classic at Neyland Stadium.
Majors served as head coach at Pittsburgh and Tennessee. He guided the Panthers to the 1976 national championship before winning three Southeastern Conference championships at Tennessee (1985, 1989, 1990).
Following the Week 2 contest, Pittsburgh head coach Pat Narduzzi discussed Majors and the game that honored him.
“One other thing I want to mention, I wish Johnny Majors was here to see what happened today,” Narduzzi said. “I know he was wearing the Blue and Gold up in the press box up above, and he would have been happy with what he saw today.”
