So says Pitt Post-Gazette reporter: Linky

Brett McMurphy reporting the same on twitter feed. Selected WVU over Oklahoma State. Disappointing if true! Wanted to play someone new and different.

This would've been the 1st year we didn't play them since '55. Keep the string alive. So much for something different

Interesting. Big 12 picks up tab for unsold tickets.

It's appropriate, since we haven't left the Big East just yet, & we really didn't have the chance to say goodbye to WVU in a formal fashion.

We better make this good, because we might be kissing the Schwartzwalder Trophy goodbye for a long time...

 

[JLine]

Meh, boring. Wanted to play someone else.

 

[OrangePA]

Will we be playing for the Schwartzwalder Trophy?

 

[JD]

No that trophy is ours forever

This will be pretty exciting game. Geno Smith and WVU are a very high powered offense. Scored over 30 points ten times. Will be a great game to watch.

WV fans are hating the thought of going to NYC and playing us.

You have to get pressure on Geno but can't break contain because he does have some running ability. He hates being hit, if you can continuously knock him down, he tends to just rush all of his reads and blows it. You have to rattle him. If he has time then he will pick apart any defense. Tavon Austin is somebody you just have to contain and limit his production because he will get his yards, he's too agile and quick not to. WVU's defense is a joke though. I thoroughly expect Nassib to dismantle their secondary.

Yup. Austin had 110 receptions and he wasn't even their leader in passing yards gained. Bailey had 106 receptions and 1500+ yards. Geno threw for over 4000 yards. Nassib might dismantle the WVU defense, but our defense will need to step it up as well.

Stedman Bailey is no joke. I want my team to draft him in the third round. He has like 23 touchdowns and their third receiver Woods is no slouch either and also have Andrew Buie running the ball who either goes off or is nonexistent. All this can be solved by repeatedly hitting Geno. Making him rush his reads results in bad things for WVU because Holgorsen's game-plan always involves gunslinging so a rushed Geno makes erratic throws.
