Pitt wins in dramatic fashion; improves to 5-1

In the past, this was the kind of game Pitt would find a way to lose. This time it was different. Despite two bad interceptions, one which turned out to be a TAINT, Stull led the team to another victory. Some say that this was a great come from behind victory while others may say that it shouldn't have been even close. By my count there were at least 3 possessions where Pitt got into the red-zone and only came away with 2 field goals. There is no reason why a team with 2 6'5 WR's, the nations 3rd leading rusher and the nations leader in receiving touchdowns cannot score from the 1 yard line. This game it didn't matter, but in the future we need to be getting six in those situations. The defense was great especially when it came to getting to UConn's quarterback. Greg Romeus sacked the quarterback and forced a critical fumble in a situation where UConn was in field goal range. Thankfully, UConn didn't really have the personal to exploit our horiffic secondary. We're 5-1 and face 3 very winnable games before playing what could be a top 25 match-up with Norte Dame. Hail to Pitt.
