We always have a hard time against Pitt, they have had our number more often than not even with a fully healthy team.
However, we went in, played them tough, hung in there and had a chance to tie at end of game with a rookie QB, rookie WR and injuries galore.
I am not making excuses for a loss, because Pittsburgh outplayed us, but impressed with the moxy of this team and the depth (minus secondary).
Dalton lost his biggest playmaker early in second quarter in Green, Dunlap was not even in the game, we have lost our top slot receiver in Shipley early in the season, we just lost Hall, our top CB midway through game. We were hobbling with injuries, we hung around, fought hard and stayed in the game with everything goign against us.
Pittsburgh deserved to win, but I like how we fought and hold great expectations for the future of this franchise, not only for the rest of this season, but the next several as well.
