This game actually broke the record for attendance at any Pittsburgh sporting event with 70,622 attendees. I've never seen such a great crowd at a Pitt game in my life. A really special experience!
best sporting event i've been to, crazy atmosphere !
For real! Never seen so many people care about a Pitt game!
@@UnOrthodox_Christian According to ESPN, Pitt fans don't care about the team and it was supposed to be 75% WVU fans. Like typical ESPN, they got that completely backwards, and never bothered to correct their statement. That was a more lopsided pro-Pittsburgh showing than Steelers fans at a Redskins game...sorry, Commanders.
They've been growing last 5 years not surprised
it’s a good day for the burgh!
Wow not a fan of either team but that is what a rivalry game is about. Them teams played hard from start to end great game absolutely awesome.
almost seems like real game and not fixed for BIG MONEY!!!! ENJOY
I was transfixed to my tv for the whole game.
facts yo!
@@bobhabib750 Vegas?😂
@@bobhabib750 you know everything isn't a conspiracy
Games like this remind us why football is the best sport
I couldn't agree more!
real football*
@@evangeloskyriazopoulos7070 💀
And why rivals like this need to play every year and not wait a decade to play.
@@evangeloskyriazopoulos7070 ong!1! kicky ball!!!! Olay Olay Olay Olay Olay!!!!!!!!! omg one score per hour!!!! Nonstop passes!!!! Yayyyy!!!
you know this is one of the best games of the season when it breaks the attendance record of a city with 16 pro sports titles. absolutely unbelievable
Pittsburgh is a pro sports town. Pitt usually draws 30,000 fans to their games. The only reason this game sold out was because of 40,000 West Virginia fans.
@@Never_Stop_Fishing it sold out because Pitt fans bought tickets stop trying to create a false narrative
@@liamtatomir5885 West Virginia fans bought half the tickets. They even said so on tv. Stop trying to create a false narrative. Pitt doesnt sell out heinz field unless its full of penn state, wvu, or notre dame fans.
@@Never_Stop_Fishing pitt won 🏆 🙌 cry more
@@Never_Stop_Fishing dude did you even watch the game???? That stadium was 95% Pitt fans hands down!!
That pick 6 view of the crowd was goosebump central. Greatest fan reaction I've ever seen
the call and camera work on the pick six was amazing - what an electrifying game
That man said "The 1st time in 11 years that Pitt has the ball."
He either said the phrase “Backyard Brawl" or “First time in 11 years” in like the first 10 clips of this too....it could have been a drinking game 😂😂
Awesome football matchup to get the season started
They were full of great lines, insight (by Riddick) and calls all night 🔥
I liked when he noticed what was taking place in that game early and it was around the start of the 2nd quarter, he said…”This game has just turned into an energy drink”
Everything about the game, the way the players played, the crowd, the announcers, etc. was pretty magical stuff 👏
I was looking for this comment 🤣
11 years of defensive football…. Not a Pitt fan but I’m happy their fans finally got to see them play offense… Pretty amazing that last years QB made it to the NFL without ever taking a snap!!!
If this is a sign of things to come, this revival of the Backyard Brawl is going to be epic and there is still three more meetings. I am happy Pitt came out on top, but wow what a game and even after 11 years, the emotion was still there.
as a WVU fan it was tough to lose this one but an electric game nonetheless. This is college football at its best...not that WVU vs Kansas State or Rutgers vs UCLA conference realignment BS. Classic rivalries like this need to happen every year..shame on whoever made the decision to not have these teams play each other for the last 11 years
They gotta find a way to make it a yearly game no matter what
Wvu fan. I hate pitt but I love you guys for games like this. Sucked we lost, but you guys will be in Motown next year.
@@jwp3883 I always said the Backyard Brawl was always a different rivalry than most in college football. This game has no trophies, just pure bad blood. I hope after 2025 this game can become a regular again.
@@PENS68 I hope so, College Football need those rivalry to be back;
-Pittstburg vs West Virgina
-Oklahoma vs Nebraska
-Michigan vs Notre Dame
-Texas vs Texas AM
Imagine how JT Daniels feels...Knowing you can sling it but your coaching staff calls a very conservative gameplan for most of the game and when you do sling it you drop dimes only to have your receivers let you down.
Shoulda stayed in the SEC
@@jdtheguitartist This year is gonna be very interesting for WVU...Hopefully they learn from it and get better instead of the usual wasting games away in the final minutes
Relax funktards... it's the first game of the season on the road in a rivalry game against a solid Pitt team.
To be fair we had doege for 3 seasons
only giving Donaldson 7 carries was also criminal
Most watched sporting event in Pittsburgh history I'd say they got their money's worth, love Narduzzis attitude on ESPN
Played for him at URI. Pitt is getting off cheap IMHO. Great hire.
Did it really get that kind of ratings?
@@fredwerza3478 in person i e attended
This has to be the best Backyard Brawl I’ve seen in 11 years
💀
I'm an Alabama fan and that was a heck of a game. Somehow they've got to find a way to play the 'Backyard Brawl' more often
Heck of a game. Hard hittin'. It was USC versus USC quarterbacks. Funny how that worked out. Pitt made the plays in the 4th. I give the Panthers credit for playing very hard, and not giving up in the face of real adversity.
Daniels was average at best.
Honestly JT Daniels was collected and did everything right, can't blame him for his receivers inability to catch the ball. Great game!
Slovis a baller
Terps fan, this was an AMAZING game. Pitt defense really came through. Mountaineers hold your heads up 👏
College football needs games like this edition of the backyard brawl. As a WVU fan this team is showing promise. I can see 9-10 wins.
@@Card_lol If we had a coach who played to win yea maybe but no we wanted the Neal "Awe Shucks Mayberry next door neighbor" Brown
RIVALRY GAMES LIKE THE BACKYARD BRAWL SHOULD BE PLAYED EVERY SEASON ..
Great seeing this game played with passion. That’s way it was growing up with both teams recording from hardcore industrial northeastern cities. Of course I realize some of those places like my native North Jersey no longer have the same talent pipeline. But it’s great to see these proud programs play games with top 20 rankings on the line again…
I agree it reminded me of the fierce battles in the 80's between these two teams
It's crazy because the guy who had the pick 6 "MJ Devonshire" is a Pittsburgh High school legend from Aliquippa where Darrelle Revis, Ty Law, Mike Ditka, Jonathan Baldwin are from. He chose Kentucky on National signing day then came back home for his sophomore year! People in Pittsburgh always say if Pitt could keep the kids from this area home they would be a national power..Aaron Donald, Terrelle Pryor, Miles Sanders, Tyler Boyd, Joe Montana, Dan Marino, Jason Taylor are all Pittsburgh guys.. they have to find a way to keep the 4 and 5 star kids.. great win for Pitt!
I think games like this will hopefully keep the high rated player local. Keep winnin Pitt
@@kid4romafrica402 agree 100%
Yes that's tough. Like when we lost Keith Marshall and Todd Gurley to Georgia in the same graduated class. Chris Leak to Florida, Muhammad Macaque also left N.C. for bigger championship contenders.
Aliquippa has seriously produced so many legends. WPIAL football is no joke
You forgot Curtis Martin HOF. He was legit from the city... went to Dice
Im a WVU fan, that pick-6 was crazy! Stadium was ELECTRIC!!!
Being at This game for a home opener as a student will be an experience unrivaled by any other sporting event I ever attend
Come to Morgantown, that will be an experience as well. Lol. Good game my friend
Factzzz
Not a fan of either of these teams but hands down one of the most exciting week one games I have ever watched. I was at work at a restaurant last night and they had every tv on this game. It was hard for me to focus on my job at times because of this game lol.
I see why college is more exciting than the nfl the raw emotion is just there, in the nfl coaches just keep a poker face all the time I hate it. I’m gonna start watching more college ball.
More drops lol
Overall it's just more of an experience at the college level. Rivalries really get the blood boiling, and not just because divisional alignment says to lol
I always say the same thing. Nfl get a pay check no matter what, sometimes they are drafted by a city they don't want to be in, they don't dive or hussle. College is where it's at, they are trying to make a name for themselves and have pride in where they are
Mainly because the NFL is more of a large corporate business.
But college seems to be heading in that direction as of late.
At least Sean mcvay shows raw emotion,
Loved watching this game, both teams played their hearts out. From an LSU fan.
13-9, you're welcome.
I agree. Reminds me of how tough my favorite team is in the trenches. That's Boston College.
This might be top 5 greatest CFB games I’ve ever watched.
Two former USC QBs battle at other rival schools. That’s football! Hope the best for JT as I enjoyed him playing for my Dawgz. He looked good considering the outcome
Wow! College football is back! What a game!
What a great game !!!!! It's a win for football fans for sure. 🔥🔥🔥
How do you have an 11 minute highlight video and not show 2 of the TDs
Gonna be a long ride home for the receiver from WVU
Right? Like 10 drops and 10 sacks
I agree but dude had like 100 yards and 2 TDs with just the one ball off the fingertips INT, stuff happens it's football
I feel bad for him….he balled and played his tail off all night. He’s a player, but you’re right, that stuff just can’t happen 🙏
BFW had a huge game though. Seriously can't believe that happened
Did all the WRs from WVU grease their hands with butter before the game?
Never watched a Pittsburgh game until now and this was worth watching
Never heard of the Backyard Brawl. What a game!
As a Tennessee fan I’m worried about playing Pitt next week lol. They’re good
Vols favored by 4.5
@@fwilliamcony28 by 7 now espn
Pitt ain’t that good bro. They had a lot of things go in their favor like the tipped ball. Tennessee is gonna roll over them. It will be at least a 14 point lead
Great game to start the real season
best game i have ever attended. glad this rivalry is back!
Love those WVU helmets.
Wvu fan. Traveled up to see the game and what a game. We lost. Nothing more to it but it was still a great game. Hope we take our mistakes and build on them. Our schedule isn’t getting any easier. Unlike Pitt… one last jab. Great game Panthers
That pass that bounced off #0 hands for the pick 6, you guys had this game in the pocket til that play happened 🤦🏾♂️
You too bud. As a Pitt man, it was like seeing a brother for the first time in 11 years. Both fan bases were just happy to be at it again. We need to play each other every year. Even hearing "Eat s#%t Pitt" put a smile on my face!
Turning point, 4th and 1 WV had a chance to take over the momentum with CJ Donaldson, but they played it safe.
WHAT A GAME BABY
The most beautiful Backyard Brawl I’ve ever seen
Feel bad for JT Daniels. Dudes a legit NFL caliber QB but OL & Wrs sold out
Nope it’s all the coach fault. Had he went for it on 4th down, West Virginia most likely wins
@@jamborginiii1732 They dropped a handful of critical passes over the course of the game that would have made a huge impact. Couple 3rd downs in scoring territory. I agree they should have went for it but if he had more time to pass & less drops they win by at least 2tds. They Would have never been in that situation anyway
6:18 "One man to beat!"
Toes: Not so fast, my friend.
That crowd noise was deafening. In deep south Texas their is a high school version of the backyard brawl...Mercedes Tigers v Edcouch-Elsa Yellow Jackets. It was nicknamed the Big Game for many years cuz whomever won that game would go on to become district champions and of course bragging rights. Now they call it the Backyard Throw Down. I know its cliche but these teams REALLY don't like each other. They are separated by like a dozen or so miles and are in the same district. Though football is king in Texas, these 2 teams have epic battles in the other sports as well. The fans REALLY get into it. Seeing the highlights of this game totally reminds me of The Rio Grande Valley's own version of the Backyard Brawl!
I don’t care for any of these teams but this kid JT daniels is pretty nice ! I was upset wheaton ford dropped that pass after having 2 touchdowns great game tho by both teams
One of the greatest opening season games i have ever seen
i went to this one of the best games i’ve ever seen in my life
Man this was a fantastic game! Especially the pick 6 H2P!
Louis Riddick is such a good analysist/color commentator.
Wow
Acrisure was ROCKING during the game
We don't say that name here.
*Heinz
Acridefinitely!
Heinz***
Game ends on a close call, yet the highlights don’t have a replay of the play to see how close it was? C’mon ESPN
Was looking if anyone commented on espn side of things because they didn’t show the touchdowns either next play the other team alr had the ball and 7 on the board. Point of highlights is to show how points were made and what not smh espn
2 minutes in and I finally get a close up of their helmets to see which team was which 😂
So glad WVU played Pitt again. I couldn't care less about playing teams from Texas and Oklahoma.
This makes me wish the Big East still would have existed in football
Agree 100%!!
Would West Virginia Come To The ACC From The Big 12 Conference.
It does still exist it’s just made up of fcs schools like Villanova, Providence, Creighton, ect. It’s a fire basketball conference tho.
Big Something. PSU, Pitt, WVU, should have anchored an eastern league. Syracuse, Rutgers, CT, Louisville, Cincy, maybe Maryland, Virginia and a few others.
@@ARIZJOE nah. Eventually there will only be BIG “Ten” and SEC. Those two conferences are eventually just gonna take over with expansion.
Almost Heaven Pittsburgh Pennsylvania
🤮
Wrong lyrics
Not a fan of either team but what a freaking game 🤗🤗🤗
What an insane game!
First time in 11 years that Pitt has the ball? Talk about methodical defense 😹
I come back to this vid every few months just to feel something 😂
Need a replay on that last non catch
Man this was a great game!! Pitt is for real, an west Virginia is too. JT Daniels looking good, a Pitt might have 1 of the strongest dlines in the country.
Great game! What a way to start the season!
Aliquippa STAND UP!!!!!! Let's go MJ!!!!!
This is why college will always be better than the NoFunLeague.
great game Pitt. we will get ya next year I hope. LETS GO MOUNTAINEERS
The Backyard Brawl is back with a bang
This game was banger was on the edge of my seat the whole game
Wow I love the energy of the stadium n da crowd im ready for some good football games
Love it when the ref comes at the end of game and decide who wins 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 incomplete
What a game!
Neal Brown failed us what a square
Nobody is talking about how both of these Quarterbacks started for USC at one point just two years ago…
Crappy olines and coaching hurt them
instant classic
9:34 ....And the stadium went BERSERK!!!!!!
Got outplayed but still won. Sometimes its better to be lucky than good.
Wow. This cast my memory back to 1970 when I lived in Tower B and watched Pitt upset UCLA at the old Pitt Stadium up on The Hill. This was before the Steel Curtain era, well before Dorsett and Marino. I also remember standing way up in the REAL cheap section above the stadium where you could see about half the field and hear the announcers. This was so long ago that I actually saw the pre-Bradshaw Steelers lose against Fran Tarkenton and Bart Starr! (Yes, I also saw Roberto Clemente and Willie Stargell-“Chicken on the Hill!”-at Forbes Field from the third floor windows of the Hillman Library.)
Long live the Pitt CAS Class of ‘73!
West Virginia needs to join the ACC! Live this rivalry.
West Virginia Is In The Big 12 Conference. I Wonder If West Virginia Would Wanna Come To The ACC.
Nope, Pitt needs to join the Big 12 before the ACC erodes it's athletics department like it's done all the other teams.
@@lorenzohaynes3886 no we will go to the SEC
No Pitt needs to stay exactly where we are!!! The big 12 conference sucks honestly
@@tylerminich9998 Yet you want a Big 12 team. The ACC is garbage and they've been held up by ESPN for more than 20 years. If your trash with ESPN favoritism then you're really trash trash. Can't say anything about the Big 12. On top of getting ESPN favoritism half your conference comes from a better conference. And y'all are still garbage. Pitt is a Big East team. All of your best teams are actually Big East teams. ACC has schools like FSU going broke but wants to say someone sucks.🤣 Your dumb opinion about the Big 12 does not matter to the Big 12. But the truth that the ACC sucks the life out of athletic departments. Well that's a truth that cannot be overlooked.
Player of the game: West Virginia’s wideouts were the MVP for Pitt.
Thank The Lord Football is Back!
Tough loss for WV. Rhe Pitt team is a tough team, a good team to watch. WV is gonna be tough to beat in the big 12.
The backyard brawl had went on for so many years imagine getting to see a game like this every year for 20 yrs I've seen em all wvu has a tuff loss but we can play that's for sure LETS GO EERS!!!!!!!!!!!¡!!!
Hate y’all but glad to be playing again. I hope they never stop this rivalry!!
This is the best highlights I've seen in all of college football.😮
Wow!!!! That was friggin' awsome!!!
Pitt and fans showed up! What a win!
Jt's recievers couldnt catch a cold tonight and cost them the game that pick six was heartbreaking considering what a perfect throw he made.
I mean the pass was high??
@@tylerminich9998 it went through his hands you cant ask for much more than that.
@@aggresive_hef6103 yeah that was a good ball
@@aggresive_hef6103 it was tipped off the top of the receivers fingertips dude 😂🤣 if it was a good pass it should have hit him in the chest considering it was only what a twenty yard throw?? And he threw two lollipop passes in the first half that should have been intercepted but he got lucky... just saying
@@tylerminich9998 stop making excuses for the wvu WR
As a WVU fan I thought we had this one in the bag but just some costly mistakes.. Great game tho
everything went downhill after that targeting penalty
@@Kanehg I looked at my friend when Neal wanted to punt at that 4th and inches and told him we where going to loose and well
@@CynicallyObnoxious I get wanting to draw the D offsides but why were they trying it in shotgun and not under center. Then to just punt it anyway. Very peculiar.
@@Kanehg I agree normally they get in a jumbo package
Helluva start to the season !
Brown had an excellent run at Troy. He is on very thin ice right now. There's a tough sked to deal with later this season.
I would hate to be that receiver, at this level that can’t happen. Great game though this was the real opening game of the year and how it should always be opened up every year.
I'd rather have this game at the end of the season so it means something extra like it used to be
BEST GAME so far
Good game Pitt!! Would like to see the old uniforms every now and then. Miss em!!
Love the comments got to add my 2 cents:. Great game big time atmosphere can't believe money or whatever took this gem away from us for 11 years. Salute the two teams and fan bases that just showed us what college football is all about. Just an Arkansas fan's take on it.
Pat mcafee 1 day ago: “the backyard brawl was the lowest point in my life, I thought about leaving and never returning without even talking to anyone”
ESPN 2 hours later: ….
What a good game!!!!!
wow!!! What an incredible game!!!
You could feel the tension ….
Please have this happen each year
One for the ages of Backyard brawl for PITT fans. Hoopie fans have to think one got away, PITT stole one with heart. I give Narduzzi credit-- his teams come to play, resilient, tough. My dad, long time season ticket holder, would have liked this game. H2P!
Proud of ya lads!
Congratulations, Pitt! Great job fighting through it. Hail to Pitt!
Go Noles!
I LOVE 🏈COLLEGE FOOTBALL....PERIOD !!!!!!
Man that WV O Line just couldn't hang
Same as the last 3 years since Neal brought with him Matt Moore, his OL coach from Troy. He can't coach and every year the OL is porous as a result.
@@nazmoking3171 it’s honestly ridiculous because this is a talented West Virginia roster and JT Daniels balled out today and will the rest of the season. Bad coaching is gonna hold back West Virginia
@@jakebuchsbaum3348 the drops were worse
Since West Virginia Is In the Big 12 Conference Now. Would They Wanna Come To The ACC.
@@jdtheguitartist the coach not going for it lost them the game
As a Tennessee fan pitt looks like a great team. Ready for next Saturday guys gonna be a fun one! 🍊
I’m afraid of Rodney Hammond there RB because as a fellow TN fan.
I don’t feel very confident in there run defense.
@@grbhighlights9401 Yeah I could see it being a shootout I hope our defense comes to play. Turnovers and penalties are gonna decide the game
Pitts defense is for real!!!! Don't think you guys are going to beat us
@@grbhighlights9401 I don’t get where you’re coming up with this lack of confidence in the run defense. The defense played well in the first game and you have nothing to go off of other than that. Wv was the one slashing Pitt on the ground and we were the number two ranked run office in the SEC last year. I feel like you’re just a pit fan pretending to be a TN fan.
@@tylerminich9998 yeah but if you guys don’t start off faster than you did in this game then you will be done by half time. 38-31 Vols. GBO!!! Got snubbed in the preseason top 25 but after week 2 we will be there.
