Pitt answered Oklahoma State's game-opening touchdown with a quick score of its own, and today former Pitt quarterback Pat Bostick breaks down the Panthers' first scoring drive.

Yard line: Pitt 30
Down and distance: First and 10
Play: 22-yard pass from Nate Peterman to Quadree Henderson

Bostick says: They ran a speed spring, a designed sprint roll-out and a combination where Henderson was on a high corner route matched up on a safety. Really, it was a great route; he was wide open and Peterman got outside with a good block from Conner to seal the edge. Peterman threw a nice ball to Henderson, who caught it on the sideline, and it was a great drive-starter.

Yard line: Oklahoma State 48
Down and distance: First and 10
Play: Jordan Whitehead 6-yard run

Bostick says: They were in a shotgun spread look with two backs and three receivers; no tight ends. They had George Aston out in front and Conner in kind of a wing position, and they brought Whitehead in motion from the right slot for a lead jet sweep. He got two nice blocks from Conner and Aston, and Whitehead did the rest. It was a good six-yard gain, and he had to make a guy miss and break a tackle to get it. It was a nice run to pick up six yards on first down.

Yard line: Oklahoma State 42
Down and distance: Second and 4
Play: James Conner 32-yard run

Bostick says: This was 30-personnel: three backs, two receivers and no tight ends; Qadree Ollison was a wing-back as well as Aston. This was their double-wing look. They brought Ollison in motion, bluffed the jet sweep to Ollison and ran an inside zone with Aston peeling back from left to right to seal the weak-side edge. They parted like the red sea. Conner hit it and made a safety miss and took it down to the 10-yard line for a 32-yard gain. Really, it was a nice play design, great execution, a good run and a good finish by Conner.

Yard line: Oklahoma State 10
Down and distance: First and 10
Play: Henderson 10-yard run

Bostick says: They were unbalanced with kind of a Wildcat look, but obviously it wasn’t a Wildcat. They were unbalanced with a motion man coming from the weak side and overloading the right side to run a lead jet sweep for Henderson. It was well-blocked and he carried a guy into the end zone, but it was a good play design and, really, pretty easy sailing to get to the end zone.
