Hard to point to one play that could have changed this game

But...

If Aston doesn't fall on the 1/2 yard line in the first quarter, Pitt is up 10-0 and this is a completely different game. I know there are many variables thereafter, and Pitt did come back to grab the lead, but that one really hurt and cost Pitt a chance to really control the game.

Might be Peterman getting knocked out of the game. DiNucci is busting his balls right now but losing him was a big blow.

i would agree. a 10-0 lead early may result in a far different outcome.

But the way Pitt tackled today......this game was coming down to the wire

Literally the most freak play I've seen, and there's been a lot. At first I couldn't understand how he hadn't clearly crossed the plane. There was literally nobody who had a chance at touching him. That was absolutely huge. Even the next play, Conner scores if he doesn't bobble the ball before he could reach across. And then of course, 99 yard TD drive by nw. So all of that together, pretty sure that was it there. I don't see Pitt losing if every single one of those things doesn't happen.
