Look, I’m not going to lie to you. With my faithful co-worker, on this site, Corey Cohen, standing next to me in a bar in Philadelphia, we both wanted the same thing on Pitt’s crucial third down late in the game - to run the ball. There was a little over one minute remaining in Pitt’s game against Marshall. With the Panthers clinging to a three-point lead and the Herd out of timeouts, we both kept saying, just run the ball and make it as tough as possible on Marshall.
That’s right ... the same people that have been asking the coaching staff to try and trust the passing game in a clutch situation was now begging them to run the ball.
