Pinstripe Game Thread

[PhPanther1]

impressive start from the D
Canada once again calling a great game
Peterman started out firing the ball, but appears to have settled down
Good look/sound from the Pitt crowd

If James stretches the ball out there, he scores.

 

[PhPanther1]

Yikes, looks like conner almost lost the ball. If he keeps it in his hands and extends (ala antonio brown) it's a td. Oh well.

 

[crosbymalkin8771]

That sucks. Kudos to NW, but hated the O'Neill playcall in that situation

 

[JD1976]

Aston slips on the 1/2 yard line when he could have walked across, then Connor is stopped on the 4th and goal run. Ugh.

 

[King Of All Message Boards]

Their guy made a hell of a play grabbing James around the legs.

The Pitt D line has been manhandling NW Oline. Hope that continues especially on this series.

 

[Team_Pitt_Fan]

So pitt like

If he would have thrown the ball earlier the receiver had a step. But that's asking an OL to make a QB throw so you can't fault BO.

You like it if it works. I'm ok with it...it was 1st down and in the right area of the field.

I agree. And not just hindsight. Hated it as it was happening.

 

[VolPanther]

Force a 3 and out here we'll be in great position to get it back but man would be nice to be up 10 but just stop them here and we will be fine

 

[crosbymalkin8771]

Fair enough, it wasn't just that one play anyway that cost them. And now they get a big play... sigh. Hate this start.

 

[PhPanther1]

Where the hell is Galambos on that? Running himself out of the play as usual

 

[VolPanther]

Well so much for that damn

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Yikes, looks like conner almost lost the ball. If he keeps it in his hands and extends (ala antonio brown) it's a td. Oh well.

Clearly that was why he didn't score. The ball ended up down around his waist rather than at his shoulder level or higher.

 

[Team_Pitt_Fan]

Lol

 

[VolPanther]

Damn pick 6 dropped

 

[PittPanther44]

That was a TD. James was laying on top of players and reached the ball in. How was it not even looked at?

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

3rd and 9 and they run the slowest developing option play ever for a first down.

 

[pittman71]

forward progress was considered stopped?

 

[Pittx9]

This is absolutely humiliating. Canada clearly has one foot out the door, moronic play calling.

 

[VolPanther]

Geez never thought we would get gashed on the run but they are shoving it down our throats right now

 

[VolPanther]

Big stop

 

[King Of All Message Boards]

Raise your hand if you had 3-0 after 1.

 

[mzeiler1]

We are getting pushed around this drive!!!! Lets get a stop and get the ball back

 

[doubleAA's]

Humiliating? That is hyperbole I think. Come on, Aston was wide open to score and he fell. Then conner would have scored but hit the ball on Johnsons helmet causing him to fumble it slightly and not able to stretch the ball into the end zone which he certainly would have.

 

[crosbymalkin8771]

Raise your hand if you had 3-0 after 1.

Struggling on offense and getting run on is us playing midwestern Big Ten style football. No good.

Me and my big mouth haha. 1st 2 drives the d line was steamrolling them.

 

[VolPanther]

This is absolutely humiliating. Canada clearly has one foot out the door, moronic play calling.

So many people were calling for them to open up the bag of tricks well how about just call the game like you did throughout the year it worked out pretty well and put plenty of points on the board.

I doubt that Canada is intentionally calling a poor game. Some of his calls that have been successful during the season just haven't worked today. Give credit to NW for a good game plan.

 

[JD1976]

Not just because of Aston's play but I wish the NCAA would go with the NFL rule where you can fall and get back up.

 

[pittman71]

play calling is fine? Should be 10-0, fullback slips and falls before he reaches end zone.

 

[pittman71]

also Northwestern has had a month to prepare for Pitt's offense

 

[doubleAA's]

Raise your hand if you had 3-0 after 1.

We are good. Moving the ball and also getting great push on both lines

 

[Pittx9]

So many people were calling for them to open up the bag of tricks well how about just call the game like you did throughout the year it worked out pretty well and put plenty of points on the board.

We already know O'Neill can't throw though. Everything else, running, catching, those plays have worked. But that was the most idiotic call in the history of sports. Everyone else on the team actually cares about the game. That was a "let's have some fun" call. Absolutely ridiculous to even consider calling that there and cost us points.

 

[VolPanther]

Well giving up a 99 yard drive after having a sure TD is about right for this defense but surprisingly they just ran it down our throats big answer needs to come here

 

[Pittx9]

Our defense got eaten alive that drive. Nothing promising at all shown by the defense.

 

[burg_eer]

I bet money on you guys today. Don't let me down.

I like your team. You should be up 10-0.

 

[pittman71]

wonder if Pitt spent the last month trying to shore up their pass defense and have forgotten about the run defense

 

[PhPanther1]

2 good drives by the Pitt offense
2 good stops by the Pitt D
1 good drive by the NW offense

Relax people
