What's this?

What did Coach really say about the last minute of play?

While six points down, were they actually willing to sacrifice a couple of plays to run down the clock? I find it hard to believe. If so, that is a tremendous gamble and would indicate that they had much more respect for WVU's offense over their own defense which had limited the 'eers to only three points in the second half. If he did not say that, well, this post can be ignored into infamy.

I am not the coach, but were I, such a choice would never enter my head. Get points when you can get them. What comes after is only supposition.
