There's a lot of work to do to establish what type of team we're going to have, |
There's no short cuts. There's no books you can read to solve this thing. |
These guys are strong. These guys are committed to playing football at the University of Pittsburgh. |
They blocked us, there's no mystery in that, ... I didn't do a good enough job of getting these guys ready -- they must have been reading the newspapers too much and that's my fault. We've got to get better -- if you can't stop the run, you've got no chance to win no matter the level and we've got to get that done. We wanted to blitz them, but we could never get them to third down. |

They know we're being fair. We're doing everything we can to win every game, but there's no set amount of time that these freshmen are going to play. |
They were like all of us, me included, looking for someone to feel sorry for you. But that's the nature of the game. That game is not going to determine what type of season we have. That game is not going to be the determining factor of what happens in December. How we react to that game is going to determine what type of a season we have. And our guys have responded. |
This class will be a good foundation for the future. Most of these players had a lot of (other offers). Most of these players chose the University of Pittsburgh because they expect to win. |
This morning we had a meeting going over and correcting the stuff from the Tampa game, and now in two hours we're going to go into meetings on New Orleans. And we're going to practice for New Orleans this afternoon. We've never had to practice the day before a game, but we do this week, just to be halfway organized. |
This was a great win for us ... A good win, I should say. |
This was a quick turnaround. A couple of coaches actually slept here. We were back at it at 6 a.m. We got a lot done [Friday] night. |
top 10, possibly better. |
We are just shuffling some people and trying to get the most out of them. |
We came up here and our guys wanted to win this game so bad and we played so hard. We prepared so hard during the week, and it just hurts. It really does. |
