Pitt to Announce Narduzzi at Next Head Coach Friday (post-gazette.com; Werner)

Didn't realize he turned down the UConn job...

In a move that has been rumored for days, Michigan State defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi officially will be named Pitt’s new football coach Friday.

The school called a news conference for 3:30 p.m. Friday to “address its head football coaching vacancy,” at which point Narduzzi will be introduced as the next coach, according to a source close to the program.

He will be Pitt’s fifth full-time coach in the past seven years.

Narduzzi has a tremendous reputation as a defensive coach after eight years with the Spartans. During that time, he built one of the nation’s best defenses. Michigan State ranked in the top 10 of Division I-A in total defense each of the past four seasons.

Bahamas Bowl: Western Kentucky Survives Furious Comeback by Central Michigan 49-48 (PS; AP)

A miracle comeback for Central Michigan on a record-setting day by quarterback Cooper Rush fell just short at the inaugural Bahamas Bowl.

Down by 35 points with 12 minutes remaining, Central Michigan scored the final five touchdowns of the game, including a three-lateral, 75-yard dazzler on the final play. But Western Kentucky escaped with a 49-48 victory Wednesday when Rush's 2-point conversion pass fell incomplete.

Rush was officially credited with seven touchdown passes, a bowl record, in the first college football postseason game played outside the U.S. or Canada since Jan. 1, 1937. The last of his TD passes came on a wild sequence in which six Chippewas touched the ball.

"It was a roller-coaster ride," said Western Kentucky quarterback Brandon Doughty, who threw for five touchdowns and increased his nation-leading total to 49 on the season. "We were just lucky and blessed that we got the win."
