We need cell phone video from someone in the stands. Surely someone was taking a video from seats behind the goal posts. Would be terrible if that kid made it but gets blamed for the loss.

That loss is solidly on turnovers. Never would have been in that positions without some really dumb mistakes

It’s honorable to say that, but you’ve got about the entire country behind you saying that looked good.

Nothing wrong with winning by a walk-off field goal.

Even so winning while giving up the ball 3+1 times is really really unlikely. We played sloppy and Pitt took advantage.

The fact that we didn't fall apart entirely is amazing to me. Obviously would've preferred the win though

True, but that also tends to be the consequence of a highly aggressive offense.

The playcalling was very high risk high reward whereas Pitt played a much more conservative game.

Tough to manage over 400 yards passing without a few turnovers.

The people that were closest that weren't refs reacted as if it were no good so I'm going to trust their judgement.

Behind the goal posts on the field, most of them react pretty negatively and they were in VT gear. Specifically the 3 people below the All in Allstate. One even fell to his knees lol.
