CINCINNATI (AP) — Eli Holstein threw touchdown passes on three consecutive drives, Ben Saul kicked a 35-yard field goal with 17 seconds left and Pittsburgh rallied from 21 points down to take a 28-27 win over Cincinnati on Saturday. Holstein, making his second career college start, rallied Pittsburgh to its largest comeback win since 1971 when they rallied from a 35-10 deficit against Navy for a 36-25 victory. After throwing for just 66 yards in the first half, where Holstein threw an interception in the end zone on Pitt’s first drive, he finished 305 yards and three touchdowns.
