Following the victory, Pittsburgh head coach Pat Narduzzi made some interesting comments regarding ESPN and its coverage of the game. He was fired up and called out ESPN for saying that most of the fans at the game (in Pittsburgh) were West Virginia fans.

Narduzzi said:
“It was a great atmosphere out here. I can tell you that I saw some stat ... it was going to be 75% West Virginia fans. You guys messed that up on ESPN for sure. It was certainly all Pitt here today …
"ESPN disrespected our fans, and they showed up today, and I love to see that. I appreciate what our fans did today. They helped us win that game. I wasn't excited about how we played as football team. We got a lot of things to clean up."
Van Pelt then intervened and said he was not a part of the fan voting.
