I'm trying to figure out how Pitt had a timeout left before the final play though.

Didn't they only have one left before the pass to Heath to get them to the one yard line? Did they not call a timeout there?

Helmet to helmet penalty, moved the ball from the 1 yard line to the half inch line (half distance to goal) AND stopped the clock.

They never used there last time out, after the Vick run, they spiked the ball, then the clock stopped cuz of the defensive penalty, they never used their last timeout

Didn't realize penalty stopped the clock there

Was that a bullshyt call? Pitt might not go for it without the TO handy. That play call was terrible by Pitt lowkey, but they called it with every intention of calling timeout and kicking a FG if he was stopped

They don't have that luxury without an extra timeout

If bell gets stopped there would have been no time to call a timeout, there was only like 5 seconds left, L. Bell said he was hopin he would get in and if not call a timeout with one second left :mjlol: nah, that play was all or nothing

I thought the play call was risky as hell. Would have went with a Vick QB sneak.

However, if you watch the replay on the penalty (goal line play) The flag came at 8 seconds. However, the clock went down to 5 seconds anyway.

So the clock was against them all game....they deserved the last play call to work in their favor.

Shotgun or wildcat whatever it is was an awful play call. And why did they wait until the last drive to let vick use his feet

eh, it was the right call. there was no reason for the charger defender to hit the guy while he was already being hit and he also hit him high.
