Pittsburgh offensive tackle Brian O’Neill is becoming quite the offensive weapon for the Panthers this season.

Early in the fourth quarter against Virginia Tech, O’Neill, who weighs 300 pounds, came off the left edge and into the backfield where he took the handoff from quarterback Nathan Peterman and ran around the right side to the corner of the end zone for a 5-yard score.

This wasn’t O’Neill’s first touchdown. Against Georgia Tech earlier this season, O’Neill scored a 24-touchdown off a backward pass that he took up the sideline.
