If we kick it deep and they start inside the 30, does anyone doubt that he would have just taken a knee (basically) and ran off the field without even trying to score?
Thankfully it didn't matter in the end.
Yeah - that was a poor decision. I also wouldn't have shut down the offense as early as we did in the fourth, but with the way our D was dominating their O, it might have been the right call.
Other than that, the staff had a really great day. The team was a little starstruck at the beginning, but for the last 3 quarters, we took a top 25 team to the woodshed. Can't do that without solid preparation and great play calling. The wrinkles on O were awesome, and will give the rest of the teams on our sched plenty to prepare for, and the aggressive D was a wonderful departure from what we've grown accustomed to. I hope to god we can keep playing like that all year, and avoid the 2 terrible MAC games we seem to play every year against inferior opponents.
It was also nice hearing all the Pitt fans booing and chanting "Fire Wannstedt". The vast majority of the Pitt fans we ran into were very nice, especially after the game was decided. 4 or 5 different Pitt fans around me all congratulated the team on a big win, and said they were very impressed with the team and the fans. A few guys on my right kept asking questions about BG and the team's history. They got a real education on all things BG, and they were very nice even as we kicked their ass. Other than the sunburn, it was a fantastic day downtown. Couldn't have asked for better weather or a better game to watch.
But I swear he heard me after seeing two throws to the TE for TDs.
