Pitt/WVU: It Actually Happened

Pitt Blather covered it well with several posts:

• Screenshots right as the game ended.
• The scene inside the Stadium in Morgantown
  
• Summarizing the national take on the officiating

What can I add?

• This game is the biggest upset for Pitt football in my lifetime and will surely stick in my mind for the complete opposite reason that the 48-14 game in 1982 does, a game I attended and left early because it was so miserable a game (a surprisingly cold too). It's nice to have a game to balance out that game from 25 years ago.
• How can a defense play so well after it played so poorly vs Navy and Virginia? Or, if Pitt's defense is closer to what we saw on Saturday, and I think they are, how could they have played so poorly vs those two?
• Pitt played two of the top 4 rushing teams in the country (Navy is #1, WVU is now #4 but was #2 coming into the Pitt game). Against one, they allowed 331 yards rushing. Against the better team that was playing for everything, the allowed 104 (net) rushing yards. Who can explain that?
• How long is Shady McCoy destined to remain a Panther? Sorry to rain on the joy but we might have only one more year to enjoy this guy.
• Interesting that there is thought going around that Pitt needs to recruit a JC QB to fill in next year, I suppose to give Bostick a full year to improve his footwork, arm strength, delivery and defensive recognition - ok, to improve just about everything. Question: how was he the PA Player of the Year? If he's such a blue chipper, he gained enough experience this year, that when bolstered by an offseason of work and without personal issues, he should be the starter in the fall.
• Oderick Turner: how cursed was he? Two phantom holding calls vs WVU that followed the phantom offensive pass interference call against him in the end zone at the end of the Rutgers game. They lost to Rutgers because of the call, at least they held on vs the 'Eers.
• I couldn't exhale until Brytus walked out of the end zone on the final play. Too many last second failures this year made me think that somehow they would punt and give up a TD.
• Great day for Wannstedt - an extension and that signature win he was looking for. The pressure to win will be high in '08, and he's adding fuel to the fire already:
  

  "We're going to win and we're going to a bowl game. ... A couple more recruiting classes and this thing will really roll. We can get this program back to where it was in the early '80s. I truly believe that."

• For at least a year, Pitt can claim supremacy over both WVU 13-9 and PSU 12-0. How Sweet it is!
