Not even close. Mark May went to Pitt during the Dan Marino days from 1977-1980, OSU did not play Pitt in any of those seasons. OSU did lay the wood to Pitt back to back years in 1995-96 in which the 1996 score was 72-0 also a game in which John Cooper got accused by Johnny Majors (Pitt coach at the time) of running the score up. At that point in his career, Mark May had been out of pro football a season or two.
BTN had a great piece during Michigan week on about how good that 1996 OSU team was. If Cooper doesn't try to sit on a 9-0 lead in the Michigan game, they would have went into the Rose Bowl as #1 v. #2 Arizona State. Cooper had so much depth in the running game that season, that OSU went to running the ball in the 4th quarter and still kept scoring hence Majors ripping him in the media for running it up.
Not busting anyone's chops but that argument that Ohio State blasted Pitt during Mark May's time there is just that, an URBAN myth.

What also fuels idiot Mark May is that OSU beat his Pitt team all 4 years he played there including a 70( something) to zero his senior year !!!! Go Bucks !!!
