Houston trying for epic comeback vs Pitt

[Vowelguy]

Down 34-13 midway through 4th qtr, they've gotten 2 onside kicks.
Down 34-27 with 1 to go. Ball on 20.

 

[J187Money]

Of course they went for 2. Because why not? Holy crap!!

 

[Vowelguy]

22 points in 2:42
Houston leads 35-34 with 59 sec to go

 

[Vowelguy]

They were also down 31-6 early in the 4th quarter.

Unbelievable! I turned the game off at 34-13 because I couldn't stomach it. Now, I've missed all the joy of watching Spitt fall apart! Damn it!!!

 

[Doggie Style]

Epic Fail by Pitt!!!!! Giving up 29 pts in the 4th to include a 2pt conversion for the loss.... Truly unbelievable...... F-Pitt!!!!

 

[J187Money]

What a choke job by Pitt's receivers.

 

[UConnDan97]

Incredible! Congrats to the Coogs, and screw Spitt...

 

[ConnDogs]

Brings back fond memories of DJ erasing the 31-17 deficit and coming back to win 46-45 in 2OT. Oh...and throwing the ball out of the stadium too!

As bad as life is for us now in football, you can still count on an occasional Pitt choke job to give you a chuckle.

Here's the really weird irony. In the 1979 Cotton Bowl game, Houston lead Notre Lame 34 - 12 early in the fourth quarter. The game was played during an ice storm.

There was an ice storm yesterday in Fort Worth. Houston erased almost the exact same margin that Notre Lame did behind Joe Montana in the 1979 Cotton Bowl. The Irish won that game 35-34, the exact same score as today's Houston victory. Congrats to the Coogs, who obviously never gave up. What are the odds of recovering two onside kicks back-to-back that you absolutely must recover! They executed both of them to perfection.

After all these many years, Houston pulls off the exact same bowl comeback they were victimized by in 1979.

Now that's the Pitt we all know and love.

I know it isn't a UConn game, but can tcf15 get us a video of the fourth quarter of this game to relive time and time again?

It's a good thing Pitt has a defensive specialist like Coach Narduzzi coming in to fix this problem.

What a choke job by Pitt's receivers.

Pitt just living up to the reputation in all sports.

 

[MilliniumPrince]

Holy Did Pitt really blow this game? I turned it off and took a nap because I didn't want to watch them celebrate a bowl win.

No one snatches defeat from the jaws of victory like Pitt...no one.

 

[Antiobserver]

Another losing season for the Panthers.

 

[EricLA]

And a nice win on the resume for the AAC.

 

[UConnNick]

They're indicating it's the largest fourth quarter comeback in bowl history.

 

[Carl Spackler]

After getting crushed at home 41-0 by Cincy and then losing at home to none other than SMU, on the heels of the 4 seasons past - there is not much I, myself, have to say negatively regarding any other football program, because as of right now - we are the worst in the land.

With that noted [grinning a toothy smile]....I say: "Good job Cougars.......congrats on knocking off Pitt."

Great find and post...Words can't describe that comeback. Best I have ever seen and
best in NCAA Bowl history.
