Duke ended knocking off Pitt in double overtime by the score of 51-48 after Thomas Sirk scored the game-winning touchdown in double overtime after Pitt was only able to get a field goal on their possession in the double overtime period.
However, it was the miss that Blewitt had in the fourth quarter that stings for a Pitt team who hoped to make some noise in the ACC with a win over last year’s Coastal Division champions.
Here’s a sampling of the twitter reactions after Blewitt blew it.

I even got in on the joke that was repeated by just about everyone with a twitter account.
It's awful when your last name is Blewitt and you miss the game-winning FG from 26 yards.

The miss was the second of the year for Blewitt who is now 11-13 on the season.
