On Saturday, September 14, 2024, at 7:30 PM in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the “Climb” promised by Neal Brown six years ago officially died. West Virginia was ahead 34-24 with 4:55 remaining and had just thrown a touchdown pass to Justin Robinson that, by all accounts, should have sealed the game. The Mountaineers had gone on a 9-play, 68-yard drive culminating in Robinson’s one-handed catch. West Virginia led 34-24, and the Pitt Panthers SHOULD. HAVE. BEEN. DEAD. At that point, the Panthers had managed just 4—F.O.U.R.—total yards. You only needed one hand to count their total offense; even Jason Pierre-Paul could.
