You’ve either lost your mind, or you’re a REALLY good troll. Yes, we hung with them on inconsequential stats like first downs and rushing yards, but were beat badly on the only stats that matter. We lost 3 of 4 games, and were outscored 140-72. And yet, somehow this translates to our coaches being better??
I would actually argue the exact opposite. Good coaching is letting the opponent have something (time of possession battle, rushing yards, etc) and STILL finding a way to win. In the 2nd game we outrushed em, and they still won. In the 4th game we outpassed em, and they still won. They let us do those things because they found a bigger weakness, and exploited the sh*t out of it.
I don’t know if that’s good coaching on UPS’ part, or just bad coaching on PITT, tbh.
