This is what College Football is all about baby... Wow. You don't have to have any affirmation to either team to love this. To the receiver who dropped that pass, that lead to the pick 6, keep your head up young man, you played a heck of game. Stay ready for your moment, it will come.
I personally thought JT Daniels played better out of the two, but Pittsburgh had the overall talent and luck on their side, which allowed them to prevail in this one.
Hell of a game! I’ll be keeping an eye on both these teams this season. And that CJ Donaldson kid is no joke. Can’t wait to see the type of yards he can rack up this season.
I don't know how good these teams will end up being. They might both be 7-5 teams at the end of the year. But this was a super fun return of a great rivalry. And no matter how the season ends up... Nothing should be taken away from this game. And that's the difference between the college game and the pro game. And this is what makes college football unique.
This is college football!!! Toughness, Resiliency, and Hustle...Everyone going 100% every snap all the way until the end...I'm a Gator fan but these two should play every season!!!
What a frigging game. If you didn't like this Game or if you don't believe this game was played by two teams of full grown men in battle, then I question your football knowledge, this was a battle, a war, a true full blown rivalry. Let's Go Mountaineers!!!
@@joeyfosterWVU 3.1 million vs 3.3 million from what I read. Could be wrong BUT Pitt - WVU way more interesting and fun to watch even if you do not have a dog in the fight.
Georgia Tom Dawg here….what an incredible football game! We still love JT and he played a helluva game. Slovis looked great and next weeks game against UT will be very entertaining! I just arrived in Atlanta and we’re ready to go duck 🦆 hunting at 3:39 Saturday afternoon! How bout them 2021 NATIONAL CHAMPION DAWGS!
Slovis had all day to throw a pass. JT Daniels had no time but made plays. JT is the better QB. If he had that much time he would have picked apart Pitt with his precision.
Saw that game inbetween PSU/Purdue commercials for the most part. Got lucky and managed to catch WVU's blocked red zone punt and Pitt's pick-six. Was a hell of a game judging from the parts I saw.
How quickly a player can go from Player of the Game to the goat. That WVU receiver will remember that one for a while. Also I feel bad for JT Daniels because it feels like wherever he goes, he either gets replaced due to injury, or he loses because the rest of his team gives up halfway through the game.
They lost cause they got out played in the second half... not to mention the two passes that should have been intercepted but was completed instead but it was a fantastic game and a good game to start the series back up
As a Pitt senior I’ll say that WVU did not give up halfway through the game, they fought their asses off till the end, they were 1 complete pass away from overtime in a second half shootout
@@tylerminich9998 Definitely not outplayed - WVU beat themselves between the call to punt at 4th and inches, and #0’s inexplicable drop that led to a pick six. Pitt got away with one. Keep in mind, this is coming from someone with no real stake in either team
@@xavierarambula315 not at all dude did you watch the same game as me??? 🤔🤔🤔 It really shouldn't have been close if Pitt intercepts those two lollipop throws in the first half it's a blowout by halftime.... and Pitt came back and beat them by out playing them in the second half
@@xavierarambula315 never said slovis was Pickett but slovis was the PAC 12 freshman player of the year at one point and he's got the weapons around him to put up those numbers again easily...and Pitts defense is solid but yea should be another great game next week
I was at the game. Didn’t end how I wished but it was a great time. Both qbs looked great. Both teams made some mistakes but Pitt just made enough plays to win it.
WVU lost because NAR DIZZY out coached Neal Brown. WVU had better personnel but could not capitalize on that because of coaching. Kudos to PITT you found a way to WIN.
That was a great game overall. Both teams fought till the very end but shITT gets on top. Only if Neal Brown actually had balls to go for it on 4th down though. Our offense still sucks to this day despite some slight improvements. Quite a lot of careless mistakes from the Mountaineers which costed the Panthers at least 2 easy TDs too. Kudos to Pitt’s intense defense as well. Although my team lost, I’m so glad the Backyard Brawl returned. Revenge will be ours when we return to Morgantown.
That 4th down decision reminds me of Narduzzi's decision against PSU a few years back. When asked this week in a pre-game presser about what he learned from rivalry games Narduzzi said, "I learned to go for it on 4th and 1." Neal Brown should have listened to that interview. Excited to see what this rivalry brings next
I've been a Bama since I was a kid. I love the Iron Bowl. But my favorite bowl game to watch is the freaking Backyard Brawl baby! This game never disappoints me.
@@idkwhatsgoingon4584 wow you are dumb nobody on these teams played each other. Non of the players since like 2011 three generations of football player have no idea about this game it was a dead rivalry
mistakes were made on both sides but still a very entertaining game. Pitt showed they wanted a little more at the end. Side note if they develop CJ he will be a problem at RB.
His hands weren't under it, but I had to really slow it down. I'd say he got control of the ball, but he used the ground to do it. Heart breaking it came down to the replay.
@@drno9683 yeah but they got luckily multiple times in the first half there was two ball pit should have pick off. Also wvu hc is another reason why they lost
As a PITT fan I was very happy to see the Panthers win. Was very happy to see this rivalry renewed. This game needs to be played every year. I would also like to see PITT and Penn State play every year as well. Both teams have great futures ahead of them. PITT keeps winning they could be in the national spotlight. It's unfortunate that the ACC doesn't play SEC teams like Alabama and Georgia as that would make interesting football. Hail 2 PITT
Wow I cannot wait for college football to really start this game was Electric to the core. Before you leave this comment, how could you not be entertained?
This was a good game but as a louisville fan WVU had it until that WR didn’t catch the ball if they would have keeping doing what they was until that INT they would have did a game winning FG but Pitt defense did a good game last night
Watched the game live - it was great, but good lord the officiating stopped the game every two minutes! It went from exciting in the first half to a complete slog later… And frankly, they blew a lot of those calls. It was total refball at the end. Great return to this rivalry, though. The stadium was packed and the crowd was pumped! Can’t imagine they won’t be doing this again every year or two after they broke Pittsburgh sports records.
Two former USC qb playing against each other. Also, the knock on Slovis is he has a tendency to hold onto the ball for too long thus getting sacked and when a play is broken or rushers coming at him, he doesn't know what to do. He doesn't have the scrambling ability to avoid the rush.
This should be a full-time rivalry again!
Absolutely
I think it used to be in the old big east days I want to say. This game was definitely legit
@@jbspecs it was very legit. I miss the Big East days i was still a kid but Pitt basketball was so much better back then too.
@@kordellricesnax as a WVU fan id love to see the backyard brawl come back on an annual basis. Nostalgic for the old Big East
That pick six had the crowd going crazy! Gotta love college football.
Couldn't have asked for a better return for this rivalry
Yep
This is what College Football is all about baby... Wow. You don't have to have any affirmation to either team to love this.
To the receiver who dropped that pass, that lead to the pick 6, keep your head up young man, you played a heck of game. Stay ready for your moment, it will come.
That was his moment and he blew it. He cost them the game.
@@jaden809 fuck you they’re kids
That was his moment and he dropped the ball… literally
He was lighting Pitt’s defense up the entire game…except when it mattered most
@@DaniBoi_AU1113 I wouldn't say lighting them up he was having a good game
"College football is all the way back"
You're god damn right it is
👏👏👏
Fucking A right buddy!!
What a great game, truly live up to the moniker "backyard brawl".
Thanks for the upload, you're the best man.
Crazy to see how Slovis took Daniels spot at SC and they both got beat out and ended up on different teams only to play against each other.
On top of all of that, USC still sucks.
@@rogerhoke9725 okay now you’re taking it too far..! Lol
I personally thought JT Daniels played better out of the two, but Pittsburgh had the overall talent and luck on their side, which allowed them to prevail in this one.
Yeah and the third guy is at Ole Miss now.
Daniels is way better
Hell of a game! I’ll be keeping an eye on both these teams this season. And that CJ Donaldson kid is no joke. Can’t wait to see the type of yards he can rack up this season.
He probably won't see much under Neal Brown if he doesn't understand to give him carries averaging 17.9 yards a clip!!!
Yeah ima keep my 👀 open for both these teams this year after this stiller opening performance
I don't know how good these teams will end up being. They might both be 7-5 teams at the end of the year. But this was a super fun return of a great rivalry. And no matter how the season ends up...

This is a rivalry that needs to come back. This game was great to watch. Best way to start the college football season!!!!
Wow! What an incredible game! Great to see this rivalry back!
I do have to say I love Pitt's uniforms.
Me too dude. Something about the yellow and blue
Then u would like our HS football teams uniform were the Clyde Fliers from Clyde Ohio.
Saw that game inbetween PSU/Purdue commercials for the most part. Got lucky and managed to catch WVU's blocked red zone punt and Pitt's pick-six. Was a hell of a game judging from the parts I saw.
Your loss for watching another awful Big Ten game. I turned on the end of that game after the Brawl and dozed off on the couch.
How quickly a player can go from Player of the Game to the goat. That WVU receiver will remember that one for a while. Also I feel bad for JT Daniels because it feels like wherever he goes, he either gets replaced due to injury, or he loses because the rest of his team gives up halfway through the game.
He’s just weak. Couldn’t make it at UGA because he was mentally and physically weak

they wont.. those uniforms were a one game only from NIKE... never see them again.. sorry
This was an exciting football game. Great win for the Pitt Panthers!
HELLUVA GAME THATS WHAT. COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS ALL ABOUT THAT ENERGY
This is one of the better games of the season for me already - I like both teams so this was a REEEEALLY FUN game - I got to enjoy every moment !!
By far the best officiated game of football I’ve probably ever seen. Refs were completely fair to both teams, and reviewed many of their calls.
It was so refreshing to watch a game with good officiating. I can only hope this eventually becomes the standard.
Should have reviewed the Daniels TD sneak, he wasn't in. The HL made the call and he had no way of seeing the ball as Daniel's back was to him.
@@billscott8259 Decent game besides that
Crazy game! Thanks for the awesome highlights! Makes it so I can follow my favorite hobby easily when I'm 12 time zones away
Thank you for sharing these Great highlights ! Appreciate being able to see different teams from all over the country 🏈!
college football is back💪🔥
NOW THIS IS WHY I LOVE FOOTBALL 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 good fucking game 💯💪👌
What. A. Game.
College Football is BACK my dudes...all the way back! We wish you well JT!
Wow if this is any indication of how good this season can be…Buckle up now it’s gonna be a wild ride!!!

"Casey Legg" might be the best kicker name in football history
CJ Donaldson A True Freshman 🔥🔥🔥 I Been Watching Him Since He Was 12 So Seeing He Ball Out In His Debut Is No Surprise
Donaldson should have had the ball a lot more this game. He had a super good game
What a amazing game to kick off the Season
Welcome to 2022 College Football nice to see you again!!
This was even better the Penn state v Purdue game! Gotta love college football
I've been a Bama since I was a kid. I love the Iron Bowl. But my favorite bowl game to watch is the freaking Backyard Brawl baby! This game never disappoints me.
"pass the SirVocea" 🤣thank you for that announcer what a game!
On that pick 6 when the camera zooms out to show the crowd going bonkers...goosebumps man 😂
Helluva a game. Enjoyed every second. Welcome back football!
I know this is small and went unnoticed but your the man for blurring out the scores at the bottom!! What a win tho
Game really lived up to the hype!! cant wait for the re-match this year in Mo'Town 2023
i cant wait until pitt vs wvu at wv 2023
This is why I enjoy college more than NFL I love this passion
Came for JT vs Slovis. Stayed for a barn burner of a football game!
Good luck to pitt next week against Tennessee it should be good.
People need to really just wake up and open their eyes cause this Pitt team is for real!!!
IT IS BACK! LOVE COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!!
4:15 Great Play By A South Florida Boy To Force A Fumble While Getting Blocked
That was an NFL type play
That was game of the year material 4real !!! Got 2love college 🏈
This matched Hagler vs. Hearns for intensity
Top quarterback play. Wonderful game
The throw by Slovis at 4:26 was very impressive
ACC needs to add WVU to bring this rivalry back
What a great game ! Intensity. Effort. Excitement.
This game made the PSU/Purdue game look like Golf
These teams did not appear to like each other. Heckuva game.
And they have never played
@@lorddiethorn they played each other in 2007 from what I've seen trying to watch the game
@@idkwhatsgoingon4584 wow you are dumb nobody on these teams played each other. Non of the players since like 2011 three generations of football player have no idea about this game it was a dead rivalry
I'm really surprised Pitt won this one. If WVU hadn't made some costly mistakes. I think they easily would have taken this one.
A field goal wins it for WVU, and then the receiver just couldn't catch a perfectly thrown ball and it ends in a pick-six
True!
@@_MezzoForte23 nobody by him. Perfectly thrown ball with the perfect touch…. He just flat out dropped it lmao
Neither team can tackle
"If" the queen had nuts she would be the king. Pitt made mistakes too that cost them.
That pic 6 had same sound as Troy’s during AFC championship vs the ravens, Heinz field blew up!! Awesome feeling with chills all over 😁🤘
Great Game Last Night 🔥
mistakes were made on both sides but still a very entertaining game. Pitt showed they wanted a little more at the end. Side note if they develop CJ he will be a problem at RB.
Great game to start the season welcome back college football
AMAZING GAME
Fuckin fantastic start to the season between this game and Purdue v Penn State
This was a great game!
That looked like a catch. What a game.
It most certainly was not upon seeing the replay.
His hands weren't under it, but I had to really slow it down. I'd say he got control of the ball, but he used the ground to do it. Heart breaking it came down to the replay.
Nah unfortunately it hit the ground. I believe they would of won if the one receiver didn't pop up the ball n made it easy for the pick six! 😭😭😭😭
@@drno9683 yeah but they got luckily multiple times in the first half there was two ball pit should have pick off. Also wvu hc is another reason why they lost

The last replay had me thinking it a catch fasho...I would have count it waaaaay too much bang-bang to say he didnt have possession but it is close

Or if there hc didn’t suck at clock management or was not a coward
Hail to Pitt!!!

On the 3:52 mark the cornerback won the block the receiver was doing and strips the ball from the ball carrier.
