Pitt-West Virginia 2007: The night the most epic Backyard Brawl altered college football history

The first day of December 2007 was one of the most absurd days in college football history in one of the most unusual seasons, and it included a game between bitter rivals that ended in a ridiculous upset that produced an uncommon scoreline: 13-9. That sequence of numbers still can produce joy in any Pitt fan and chills in those who follow West Virginia. (Sporting News)
