Damon Ferguson Jr. ran for 185 yards and a touchdown as Pitt outgained Georgia Tech 461-238 and clinched bowl eligibility.
On Saturday, Pittsburgh defeated Georgia Tech 34-11, securing bowl eligibility as the Panthers snapped a three-game losing streak behind freshman Damon Ferguson's career-high 185 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
The Panthers dominated behind a bruising running game that accumulated 281 yards rushing while the defense recorded five sacks, holding the Yellow Jackets to just 95 rushing yards.
Quarterback Holden Geriner completed 13 of 30 passes for 180 yards and a touchdown, including a 30-yard scoring pass to Cataurus Hicks, though Pittsburgh committed three turnovers and 10 penalties for 95 yards.
Georgia Tech quarterback Alberto Mendoza struggled with 16 of 25 completions for 81 yards before Grady Adamson replaced him, rushing for 63 yards and a touchdown as the Yellow Jackets fell to 2-6.
Pittsburgh will host Florida State on November 13, while the Yellow Jackets face Louisville next Saturday, seeking to avoid their worst season since going 1-10 in 1994.
