Two late-game decisions that Neal Brown must give an answer for following the loss to Pitt
West Virginia suffered a heartbreaking loss in the Backyard Brawl by a final score of 38-34. Pitt scored the game-winning touchdown with 32 seconds remaining in the 4th quarter after a West Virginia touchdown on an impressive Justin Robinson catch put them ahead 34-24 with 4:55 to play. Pitt would score touchdowns on their next two possessions while West Virginia had a three-and-out in between these Pitt drives. In an exciting game with a rollercoaster of emotions on both sides, Pitt prevailed due to these late-game sequences.
We could take time to highlight major plays and/or penalties that turned the tide of the game, but the fact of the matter is that Pitt won the game in the last 5 minutes of the contest, and there are two specific decisions that Mountaineer fans should be scratching their heads about.
