So now WVU is the #2 team in the Big East.

And BTW, a big LOL @ Wannstedt calling a play-action on fourth down on that final drive. What an idiot.

If it would have been Paterno, he would just have been staring into space, hoping to get into that lockerroom as fast as he could in order to change his pants.

Wanny does not call plays. Remember, it's the job of the new play calling genius that they hired for this year. What exactly does Wanny do anymore?

Don't the large majority of head coaches delegate play calling to the offensive and defensive coordinators? At least Wannstedt is wearing a headset (when he's not slamming it on the ground) and appears involved in the game.

I know this is a case of Sunday morning quarterback, but I had a very uneasy feeling after Lewis scored the go ahead touchdown. I didn't expect Pitt to miss the extra point, but was concerned they left too much time on the clock for Cinci to score and go for two. Pitt was just not stopping them in the 2nd half. When Pitt had the ball 2nd and 3 at the 5 I thought they should try for the first down, make Cinci use their timeouts. If you get the first down, you can run the clock down to nothing and never give them the ball back. Even if you mess up the field goal, the worst you can do overtime.

I was listening to the game on the car radio at the end of the game. I had the exact same feeling, that they scored TOO SOON.

How did Matt Millen get the Big East Championship game? What an idiot. There is something about Pittsburgh teams and kick coverage that just make me want to hurl.
