[QUOTE="danny daniel, post: 767808, member: 1376"] We can blame officiating, poor O line play, lack of pass rush, poor tackling, injuries, youth and inexperience, excessive penalties, clock management, place kicking, play calling, individual performance, KO coverage and returns, and others but the biggest team failure to me is we have not leaned how to win. That shows up in stats like third down conversions and stops and red zone scoring percentage, but the bigger issue was exemplified in the fourth Q of the Pitt game when we were only down by 6 with 8 minutes to go. Pitt starts on their 25 and marches 75 yards to score on 100% running plays consuming about 4 minutes and rarely needing third down to get another first down. We knew the game (score and time) was on the line and we knew Pitt was going to run. Yet we completely rolled over and failed in the most important drive of the game. We had a great opportunity for a chance to win but instead played the worst 4 minutes of the game on D. Until we learn how to win I do not see much improvement coming. This failure is both on the coaches and the players. [/QUOTE]
