The Pitt Panthers started the season as potential Big East champs, and ended up almost as Big East chumps except for the annual meltdown of South Florida. Pitt was "rewarded" for their "good season" by getting an invite to the Sun Bowl in El Paso, a ghost town since the Old West. Pitt was enamored by the chance to show the nation how great their ofrfense really is, and they did just that. Defensively, Pitt was looking to show that Oregon State would not score 66 points on Aaron Berry. Because of Oregon State's long layoff and their displeasure with being matched with such a helpless opponent, Oregon state did not beat Pitt by 80 like the world knows they could.
One of the main reasons for Oregon State knowing they could score 80 if they tried, was MLB Scott McKillop. McKillop is highly touted by people who do not watch football. Because the Pitt DT's are so bad, McKillop was given credit for thousands of tackles because he was a speed bump that RBs ran over for 4 years. Because he was able to slow them a bit, Pitt did not give up a TD on every single rushing play.
"I'm just really looking forward to the NFL draft," says McKillop, "I'm hoping that all these websites that have me as the 87th best LB in PA have all coincidentally made the exact same typo." McKillop is ranked 87th of PA LB'ers for this upcoming draft, behind Navorro Bowman, Josh Hull, Tyrell Sales, Chris Colasanti, Andrew Dailey, Nate Stpar, Bani Gbadyu, Mike Mauti, Mike Zordich, Brandon Beachum, Mike Yancich, Glenn Carson, and Mike Hull. The funny thing about that, is half those kids are not even eligible for this year's NFL draft. Beachum and Zordich are not even LB'ers anymore. On top of that, Carson and Hull have not graduated HS yet. Hull is a junior and has another year of HS before heading to Penn State.
"Everything happens for a reason," said McKillop, "and if dedicating your life to cleaning the bathrooms at Primanti Brothers is wrong, I don't wanna be right."
