Remember when Wanny beat UCF 52-7

Because it doesn't get much better than 10 wins

3rd place and a Charlotte tire bowl berth.

[H2P 2003]

A somewhat impressive number of future NFL'ers played in that game:

Pitt:
Tyler Palko
LaRod Stephens Howling
Darrelle Revis
Jeff Otah
Clint Session
H.B. Blades

UCF:
Kevin Smith
Mike Walker
Leger Douzable
Joe Burnett
Sha'reff Rashad
Josh Sitton

The fact that DW has that sort of talent on the team and went 6-6 is telling about him as a coach.

Oh, Wanny, you are dearly missed. My how things have changed. We went from a solid mid-tier program to Rutgers.

If I remember correctly, that was the trap game before Syracuse, who I think was still good at the time and had that big winning streak over us.....and we pounded them out the next week. Ironically those 2 teams will name the score on NardHackett

UCF was a little different back then...as in a 4-8 CUSA punching bag. Wanny was a joke.

That said, I doubt this Pitt offense could hang 52 on 11 practice pylons. And then there's the D......

Wasn't that a 10-win team and finished ranked 15th? Pretty good job overall considering the two bozos sliced his recruiting budget and the staff was forced to recruit within a 90-mile radius of campus, which means a lot of slow kids.

Some of you fans crack me up who think you're owned a top 10 team year in and year out because you root for that school.

No, our records over the years since wouldn't have been better than they were under other coaches.

There was no budget cut.
Like I said- if you think third place in the big east- making a lower tier bowl game is the peak.

It’s not surprising so many obsess over a mediocre former coach
