A few post-game reactions to the fake punt:
- Pat Narduzzi said he had to be an actor and walk around disappointed on the sidelines while Pitt was setting up for the fake punt.
- Tyler Boyd said that nobody other than the punt team knew the fake was coming, so he was genuinely disappointed on the sidelines and didn't realize what had happened until the crowd reacted. When he heard that, he looked up and saw the play.
- Ryan Winslow had three options on the play: run, throw to George Aston or throw to Matt Galambos. There wasn't necessarily an order to the options, but when Galambos was open, the play to make was obvious for both Winslow and Galambos.
