In our last 12 games. . . .

You could argue that based on the victories it is one of the best 12 game stretches in WVU history as we have won at Virginia Tech, at Oklahoma State, beat Oklahoma, Pitt, and the defending conference champion, and had a team who played in the championship game on the ropes before falling by 10, and yet we have a coach who is on the hot seat because we're only 6-6. This team is perfect for a Rorschach test.

WVSPORTS.COM Players postgame press conference summary

CB Beanie Bishop Jr. is up first.

-- He said you could feel the environment and the fans were great for his first Backyard Brawl. You could feel the energy.

-- They came into the game knowing the quarterback wasn't that great, the DB's were hoping on who could next in forcing a turnover and they were able to key in on that. Beanie knew they'd force the seconday play well. It's exciting to play in a low scoring game since you're depended on in the critical moments, to close out the game.

-- They knew coming into this game, they would be targeted and that they needed to be dialed in.

-- Once they got a push up front with the defensive line, it was easier to stop the run and the game became easier.

I am proud of our team and coaches tonight

Did most of you think we would beat Pitt? I honestly did not think we would beat Pitt. We were underdogs in all polls. I was pleasantly surprised with how well our defense played. We were not playing a Kentucky State or another soft non Power Five School, we were playing Pitt and we were not supposed to win. I had thought we had a very weak defense, yet we held Pitt to just one touchdown!!! If you have told me that before the game I would have thought you were crazy. I am only disappointed in some of fans on this board who, after we beat Pitt, have only negative things to say about our team and our coaches. I don't think that, that has "Ever Happened" after we had just beaten Pitt. It certainly says something about some of our supposedly fan base.
