Episode 236 - Wide Left

Boy, what a win that was.

Uh, it, it still seems unreal.

Um, but I mean, there, there is the sour note to this.

Mason Heinschel out for the season, uh, ACL.

So yeesh, not a good look after starting 5-0 for the second time in three years.

No, an absolutely amazing ending.

Um, seemed controversial when it was first replayed, um, and a lot of analysts and myself included, had to see some different angles of it, and one guy just took the goalpost all the way to the moon, and it was clearly w- you know, was wide left.

Um, but Vitek fans stunned, uh, stadium stunned.

Franklin still can't get it done in a big game.

And Pitt, I mean, 5-0, um, where they go from here is gonna be really a mystery, uh, losing their starting QB.

But hey, you are what your, your record says you are, like Bill Parcells always said, and they're 5-0 and, uh, no apologies there.

And we'll see how good the backup is.

Maybe he can spark them.

Um, and th- they can have a great season.

You know, I, I don't think they're going 12-0, but we didn't think that before the season.

But, um, if they can, on the back end of this, you know, in their final seven games, even if they go 4-3 or somehow go 5-2, that's a hell of a year.

Uh, th- there's a great line that someone once famously said about a backup quarterback.

"We will rally around Kurt Warner, and we'll play good football."

"We will rally around Holden Gerner, and we will play good football." Um, also I know that kick...

Uh, I texted you this and I, I will say it again.

I know that kicked miss, that kick was a miss because Mason Heinschel tore his ACL.

Pitt can't have two things go right in the same season.

Um, so just by rule of proxy, um, I knew that's how that happened.

Um, so i- i- it's, it sucks.

Um, I hope that means he's coming back.
