Keys to an FSU win at Pittsburgh on Friday

Your browser does not support the audio element. In the preseason, most considered Pittsburgh a contender to face Miami in the ACC Championship game, but a season-ending knee injury to sophomore quarterback Mason Heintschel led to three consecutive Pitt losses. The Panthers were far more potent in the 4.5 games prior to the-injury, which occurred half way through a win at Virginia Tech. The offense was averaging 39.55 points and the defense holding folks to 12.22. But in the 4.5 games since, the offensive production has fallen to 24.22. And the defense, while still dangerous, isn’t nearly as stingy, giving up 27.79 points, 15.5 points more than in the 4.5 game before the injury.

USW calls on U.S. Steel to get a deal done

United Steelworkers and United States Steel Corp. negotiators are heading back to the bargaining table. And steelworkers say it’s time for the Pittsburgh-based steel and iron ore producer to show movement. Labor contract negotiations between the two sides resumes Friday in Pittsburgh, according to a United Steelworkers (USW) update to its union members who work at U.S. Steel facilities. “As you know, we reached a TA (tentative agreement) with Cliffs last Friday,” the USW said. “USS knows how this process works.
