I still vividly remember that Pitt game (and how pissed off i was that we let it slip away) and it is a very good comparison, especially in how in each case part of what we were trying to do was show that we belonged while most still viewed us as a very subpar program.

I'm still irked about their first TD, but I'm more angry with the defensive call than the CB's faux pas.  I get the idea of stopping them from moving the chains, but at that a quick score (which the all our blitz led to) was the one thing that would have hurt us most.  The prior series we fluffed a blitz and dropped eight in coverage, leading to an interception.

What that play reminded me of was the loss at Rutgers the following year where we outplayed them for the bulk of the game, didn't score enough and a 4th qtr long td pass where the CB lost the receiver & the safety took a bad angle on double coverage (not dissimilar to the first post Jazz home game a year earlier).

There were miscommunications on that play.  The CB should have remained with the WR and the safety should have been a few yards deeper.

Hopefully we learn from this.
