This times a million. I don't blame MM for the preparation and game plan. But that strategy and decision in that spot was inexcuseable. Also Williams running out of bounds on 2nd down after Pitt had let the clock drain following first down..
I'm happy we were competetive, but those mind boggingly stupid mistakes cost us big time. And the game was there for the taking.
