“We just didn't execute the way we were used to executing all year long. Give Pittsburgh credit. They played hard. They played well enough to win this football game. I just felt like we made some uncharacteristic mistakes.”
Bobby Engram
“I remember him. Short guy, moustache, played third base for Pittsburgh.”
Jackie Moore
“I would say he's not playing by himself, but almost by himself in Pittsburgh.”
Jaromir Jagr
“We do not want to lose the Penguins. Mario Lemieux has worked hard to keep the team in Pittsburgh, and we want to try do what it necessary to make sure that happens.”
Lynn Swann
“I actually heard about it last year by my special teams coach in Pittsburgh. We practiced it a little bit in training camp this year, but never quite that deep.”
Rob Bironas
“I watched the game against Pittsburgh, and I knew what they were doing on almost every play because Charlie is running what we ran in New England. What's so tough about his offense is that it comes at you from all angles, on the ground and through the air, and it blends a bunch of different offensive philosophies.”
Damien Woody
“This is a year of firsts for this Pittsburgh team. Our motto has been all year, 'Why not Pitt?' We came here to win. I talked to my team before the game and used reverse psychology by telling them Pitt had been to the Big East tournament before and Cincinnati, which is new to the conference this year, hadn't been here before. So they thought 'We' had been here before and they were right. 'We' as in 'Pitt' were before.”
