He bragged all year about Saul's leg and yet didn't let him kick on the last play of regulation. Why not?

It’s not like we even tried. They clearly had three receivers to the right on two of their scoring plays in the OTs and we countered with two DBs. 3>2. Pitch and catch. From a QB to a WR not a TE to a DE.
Was the worst coached game of the Narduzzi era, and that’s saying something! He was Toledo’s MVP. No way they could win that game without a bunch of bad Pitt coaching decisions.
Absolutely true. Neither of the two are worth a pint of piss!
That was a terrible decision to have the tight end attempt to throw a pass to another tight end. Someone should get fired for that decision.
He's watched practice for the last three weeks and it was decided that Lynch was better?!
According to ESPN play by play we were 4th down on the 47 which would make it a 64-65 yarder. EDIT: My bad...we were on our own 47....you are correct.
This. You have dugger and Reid running all over them and don’t use them at all.
That was a great play call and it’s okay to expect the players to make the plays. The offense didn’t lose this one.
Narduzzi’s defense was terrible.
I don't understand that call either...Heck, take a shot. It's the last play in regulation
I can’t understand a coach creating that play even as a joke … a joke you never use …never run etc…
Run the ball and score
Having said that we had about 8 million times to win and failed on all of them.
Maybe he borrowed that dumbass Tomlin's sunglasses and couldn't tell what he was watching.
That's simply incorrect:
3rd & 11 at PITT 47
(0:35 - 4th) Julian Dugger run for 2 yds to the PITT 494th & 9 at PITT 49
(0:01 - 4th) Timeout Pittsburgh, clock 00:014th & 9 at PITT 49
(0:00 - 4th) Julian Dugger sacked by Daniel Bolden for a loss of 10 yards to the PITT 39
The Pitt 49 makes it a 69 yarder if we go back the standard 8.
Except he let a TE throw to a lineman to win the game. You can’t get a yard running twice against the MAC to win a game. This staff blows period. Just a bonehead move to let a TE throw the ball to a lineman when you’re a yard from winning then you puss out and kick from the 1.
It’s a great play call when you have a dual threat QB throw the ball. It’s an incomplete pass when you have a tight end throw it.
one weird thing...
What was up with the one Toledo catch that clearly hit the ground and reply confirmed it didnt? It clearly did ... AND the receiver still did not control the ball when he was rolling around. It seemed ridiculously obvious.
Also, the first qtr when their TE caught the ball turned to run, and we knocked the ball out Biles scoped to score, but they blew the play dead. Not even a review.
Strange game all the way around

That and not going for it on 4th down
Joe - Why not take a shot anyway? What's the harm? He's nailed 57 yard FG's with plenty to spare.
The stupid thing is that we apparently didn't think we could get one yard in two plays running the ball, so we chose to go to overtime where we would have one play to score from the three.
One of those is a lot easier than the other. And we chose poorly.
No, it would not have been. We were on the PITT 49 yard line, not the Toledo 49 yard line. So 51 yards from the goal line, ten to the back of the end zone, and 8 more to spot the kick.
51+10+8=69
Did you not see my edit? I corrected myself.
Yeah, but we'd have had one play to do it from the 3 instead of two from the 1. So you can kind of see their logic.
Pretty much zero chance of kicking it that long, plus the angle of the kick would have been susceptible to being blocked.
Both football teams in this city need to clean house. Get rid of these head coaches and retain no staff. Watching these shitshows back to back is truly excruciatingly painful.
Shame on Duzz for not playing to win from the one-yard line in the second OT.
He kicked the FG, then had an all-or-nothing play from the THREE-yard line on the very next snap.
What the hell was he thinking?
If I was a Pitt player, I’d be extremely PO’d.

And that was a 4+hour overview of 2024 Pitt football.
No balls to play for the win during the second OT.

Well like I said during the game, we probably weren't making a 69 yard field goal, but we also were probably not going to be able to block their pass rushers long enough for the receivers to be able to run 50 yards downfield, so six of one, half dozen of the other?
The next time we hire a football coach maybe that could be the first part of the interview. Show them the sequence leading up to the 3rd down and then ask what they would do.
When they say run a trick play on 3rd down and kick a field goal on 4th you immediately kick them out of the interview and count yourself lucky for dodging that bullet.
