"It was a great day for our kids, coaches and program."
The University of Pittsburgh traveled to South Florida last night. The Panthers who may have caused their fans to become a little nervous in the last few minutes of the game came through and won 26-21. Tha Panthers are (2-0) in the Big East this year keeping Wannstedt on his toes.
This is the first loss for Tampa's season now (5-1) which hurts thier winning streak and also losing to Pitt for the first time in the past two years.
Pitt suffered a loss to Bowling Green at their season opener and were looking for this on the road win to keep them pumped. The team will be able to practice for the next two weeks as they do not play again until October 18th on the road in Maryland against the Navy.
Wannstedt who is felt very differently by onlookers as the right coach for the team was asked what this game means for him (as in his job) and all he could comment was "It's not about me, it's about the kids, thank you."
"There were alot of opportunities for the game to go the other way" with the many mistakes made during the game. Wannstedt says his team has alot of heart that will keep them going.
