http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/15554 Recent articles about Bill Stull en-us Make no doubt about it, last night's last-second, 19-16 loss to West Virginia was a very bitter pill to swallow for any Pitt fan. The good news the day after is that Pitt still has a shot at a BCS game pending the outcome of their contest with Cincinnati next Saturday at Heinz Field, and that they came out of the game healthy. The bad news is that the taste of this game should linger for a few days at minimum, and will certainly be the topic of conversation around town. If there was any t...

So she took things extra slow this week to make sure she's ready for one of her favorite weekends of the year. "I really hope I feel good on Thursday," she said from the recliner. "I want to see everybody and eat." Everything else is set up for her. The family Thanksgiving dinner invites are sent. The remote control has fresh batteries, ...

Meanwhile, on the other sideline, new Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt endured the first of many losses over a three-year span that resulted in zero bowl a...

He is now. Stull is one of college football's biggest surprises and, if Pitt Panthers keep playing this way, they might be, too.

In fact, the Panthers blew separate 10 and 14-point leads in their still-stinging 38-31 loss at NC State on Saturday. But the story of the day was Pitt's defense, or lack thereof.For the second time this season, the D surrendered over 500 yards while getting smothered in the passing game. Wolfpack QB Russell Wilson threw for 322 yards and 4 TD while adding another 90 on the ground in ...

Even harder to believe, Pitt fans did not boo Bill Stull, actually cheering their starting quarterback in a refreshing change of pace.

The nine wins for Pitt are the most since 1982. The story of the day was the play of UConn's quarterbacks, who completed just six passes to their own team and five to Pitt. For the day...
