A glorious day! But remember that our ultimate goal is that fifth ring. Our skilled athletes will receive much praise, and every bit of that is well-earned. But the offensive line put on a magnificent performance. Pitt hardly touched Hess in the pocket, and he was rarely even hurried on his throws. Then, when Pitt closed to within 28-17 with about 9:00 minutes left, we ran it down their throats for about six minutes.
Now everybody who believed (not just hoped or prayed) that our much beleaguered defense could hold Pitt to 17 points, raise your hand. A glorious day indeed, but the season is just beginning and our prize is many months away.
