PITTSBURGH (AP) — Nate Yarnell stumbled upon a piano in the Pittsburgh team hotel the night before his second start for the Panthers. The redshirt sophomore quarterback sat down and played a little classical number to help calm his nerves.Might be time for Yarnell to invest in a little portable keyboard to take on the road in 2024, especially if starting becomes a regular thing. Which it very well might.Yarnell threw for 207 yards and a touchdown and ran for another as the Panthers pulled away from Boston College 24-16 on Thursday night, giving the program a welcome moment of optimism amid a sea of disappointment. Yarnell completed 11 of 19 passes while looking poised and confident after finally getting a shot after Phil Jurkovec and then Christian Veilleux struggled.“I’m just so grateful for the opportunity,” Yarnell said. “I came to Pitt. I love Pitt. I really enjoyed getting on the field.”It sure looked like it. Yarnell dived over the goal line for a 4-yard touchdown run in...

Here’s how the Ravens (8-3) graded out at each position after a 34-20 win over the Cincinnati Bengals (5-5) in Thursday night’s Week 11 game at M&T Bank Stadium.QuarterbackLamar Jackson didn’t have his favorite target because tight end Mark Andrews injured his left ankle on the first possession and did not return. Coach John Harbaugh said after the game that it looks like a “season-ending injury.” Jackson was effective on short passes and showed good mobility but held on to the ball too long at times. He missed several long passes and the Ravens went to the running game in the second half. Jackson completed 16 of 26 passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns and finished with a passer rating of 121.3, which is somewhat misleading. Grade: C+Running backsHarbaugh must have ordered the Ravens to run the ball in the second half, and they got the message.
