I love watching aggressive defenses, and Pitt has had success over the years when they had the personnel to pull it off. But why were they constantly blitzing on the 2 point conversions? There is only 13 yards to defend and the QB is likely going to get rid of the ball before he is touched. Pitt did not have enough defenders left to adequately cover their receivers. Time and time again they were WIDE open yet Pitt kept blitzing.
Blitzing on 2 Point Conversions

Did you happen to notice that Toledo blitzed the F out of us in the same situation and caused all kinds of havoc?
We were never going to stop their WRs if given time. Its pathetic but true. I thought the only we we could stop them is on a blitz. We need to offer that Vandeross kid now. He is worth 6 figures easily.
Looked to me like they were running pick-type plays and consistently rubblng our DB off one of the WRs…. Good coaching when you get away with it.
This is the way I saw it to, Toledo had wide open receivers on pick plays at least a couple times. I’ve lost track of the order of the OT plays but the one out to the right really sticks out in my mind.
And the blitz almost had the game won on the one OT where we forced the QB to run straight ahead to avoid the sack and right before he would have gotten flattened by a couple Pitt defenders he flipped the ball out to his right Maholmes-like to a guy that had just slid past Louis.
