I found his comments about the punt down 30-7 in the 4th compelling, for me, it certainly makes me question his awareness and situational thinking, at least in critical moments.  He alleges extreme confidence in his D for the reason in punting, hoping, wishing that his D will get a stop, pinning them deep in their end, field position, etc., etc.  Interesting that he felt this way, even though Pitt was running the ball down our throat the entire 2nd half...our D was exhausted and spent.

Additionally, with only a bit over 7 minutes left, precious time was certain to come off the clock.   Even if Pitt had gone 3 and out, I'm sure they would've kept running the ball or high percentage passes keeping the clock running.  In that moment, it should've been clear to him, especially with how the 2nd half had flowed (Pitt's overall control of the 2nd half) that maintaining possession was vital being down 3 TD's.  Moreover, it speaks volumes of the lack of confidence his has in the offense.  End result...Double Whammy!
