WVU HC Rich Rodriguez Says It's "Physically Impossible" To Be Unhappy After Pitt Win

WVU head coach Rich Rodriguez left the program for Michigan in 2007, and his final game in Morgantown was the infamous 13-9 loss to the Pitt Panthers in The Backyard Brawl.

On Saturday, Rodriguez got a shot at redemption after 18 years, and it couldn't have went any better as the Mountaineers pulled out a 31-24 overtime win over their biggest rival in front of a rowdy crowd at Milan Puskar Stadium.

After the game, Rodriguez walked into the post-game press conference to raucous cheers from those in the room, and it was all smiles from there.
