It’s not a huge talent gap! Players were sloppy and the coaches were completely out schemed. We literally almost beat Clemson last week despite a huge disparity in penalties, poor coaching, and having our back up QB start. Does Clemson have less talent than Louisville?? Did Stanford have more when they beat Louisville last week??? Catching the ball when you are wide open does not require talent. Pitt has proven over the years it has the talent it needs to compete in the Big East and now the ACC.

The coaching was terrible today. If you don’t sustain drives early you aren’t going to win. If there are deficits in talent, coach around it. Don’t keep callling the same plays all year at the same times. Bell coaches like I’m sure he did at Western Carolina when he did have superior talent. You can’t be that obvious at this level. It’s so obvious we all know what’s coming on every down and drive. So it’s not going to be a surprise for opponents that have a decent coaching staff that has weeks of tape to review what we do every game. I get Louisville might have marginally more talent. But it’s not that extreme. I mean they have lost 4 games including Stanford just last week. I refuse to believe Stanford has a significant talent advantage over us. You only keep bringing up talent so you can basically ridicule anyone who has the audacity to believe Pitt should be able to compete. Thats ridiculous. The talent gap isn’t as extreme as you say it is that Pitt can’t beat teams in our conference. We literally beat this team last year when we were 3-9.

PITT doesn't have a WR that can actually catch.
