How about the fact that they kept their offense in their normal rhythm?  Given the results of that drive, I don't know how anyone can be that upset about it?  The first couple series of downs they ran their normal pace.  It resulted in 2 runs for a 1st down, then 2 runs and a pass for a 1st down.  Next series they started with a run and Pitt called a TO with 2:15 left.  We then ran another pass play that got us to 3rd and 1 and enter the "TANK". Convert this and you milk every second and never give them the ball back.
 
What if we took longer during that 1st or 2nd series, but got stuffed in the backfield because the d-line was able to time up their jump better?  What if we stayed in our stances too long and someone false-started?  I understand the thought that burning that extra :15 secs with 4 mins left sounds good in hindsight, but with as much time was left, you just run your stuff and execute the best way you know how.
 
My only issue was take a knee or 2 on that last series instead of risking a handoff and carry with a guy who hasn't played all year, but it's hardly anything to get all up-in-arms about.
