Really not sure what I feel like saying about the Rutgers game. I’m more of the opinion of McKillop.
“You can’t put the game in the referee’s hands,” middle linebacker Scott McKillop said. “You’ve got to take care of the game yourself. It can’t come down to the last second.”
Pitt offensive tackle Mike McGlynn added, “It’s a disappointing call, but, like coach Wannstedt said, we had so many opportunities to win that game. It doesn’t come down to just one play.”
As Pitt is assured of another losing season versus 1-A opponents one of Pitt’s recruiting targets — Tight End Hubie Graham has chosen to verbal to Illinois. He had made his official visit to Illinois on a night they lost to Michigan, but he got the LeSean McCoy treatment.
His warm reception from the sellout crowd of 57,078 and the fact that the Fighting Illini played without a tight end because of injuries helped Graham make his decision.
“I’m thrilled,†Graham said. “When I was in the airport the fans knew who I was. The student section chanted my name at the game. All that stuff felt great. They have a great fan base and great support.â€
Actually building to a winning record and bowl game helps along with seeing the possibility of early playing time (and having the ball thrown his way).
