1927 Pittsburgh Panthers football team

The 1927 Pittsburgh Panthers football team was an American football team that represented the University of Pittsburgh as an independent during the 1927 college football season. In its fourth season under head coach Jock Sutherland, the team compiled an 8–1–1 record, shut out seven of its ten opponents, suffered it sole loss to Stanford by a 7–6 score in the 1928 Rose Bowl, and outscored all opponents by a total of 285 to 27. The team played its eight home games at Pitt Stadium in Pittsburgh. Pitt sports fans were treated to a superb 1927-28 athletic program as four Panther teams finished their seasons undefeated - football, basketball, track and swimming.
