[QUOTE="pressvirginia, post: 129393795, member: 1348623"] Pat or Jarrett should've been able to win that game. Pitt was turning a temporary corner that night as a program and was pretty good thereafter (they beat WVU again in 08), but WVU had the far, far superior team (see following game result in Fiesta) despite the embarrassing loss. [B]Five fumbles[/B] were equally a killer as were the missed chip shot FGs from a future NFL leg. Pitt took those fumbles and played keep away with McCoy -- 38 carries for 148 yards, but 0 TDs. The D kept McCoy out of the end zone, held Pitt to 72 yards passing & picked off Bostick twice. That's more than enough to win. Should've found a way.
