His team plays a good first half down by 8 with a minute left and he goes for it on 4th from the 50......he's lucky he didnt go in down 15............then he has his kicker attemp a 45 yd fg in these conditions......missing of course and giving the ball back to WVU in decent field position..........just does'nt make much sense to me......terrible decisions.......
Does Dave Wannstadt have any common sense???

The icing on the cake was when he declined a penalty in the first half and took the play instead - that set up a 4th and 5...he then punted the ball!!! And the announcers did not say one word!
Yeah, I've also said that Wannestedt is pretty bad. Going for it on 4th down there at the end of the half was really bad. He got lucky they didn't score.
Overall last night Pitt was just outmanned, and the LB that got hurt on the first series was huge.
I think the "we just need to run faster" thing got blown out of proportion though. All he was saying was that on a few plays, they defended it perfect but the QB was just so athletic that he got away. Which is right. He prob. should have said run harder...
Declining that penalty was the right call as well. They gained field position on the play. It would have been 3rd and 15, they weren't going to pick up the first down.
Pitt played good for most of the game. Kept fumbling in 3rd Qtr but still stayed in the game. It got out of hand late.
