I don't know what other choices Verdi has.
You can say it isn't, but yes it is.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.
First, I have to say the Clemson game sucked any life left out of our team. Having said that, I think the talent disparity is quite large when it comes to the line of scrimmage. We got our asses beat badly on both sides of the ball. Our lines are really bad. Since the start of the SMU game we have been beaten up on both lines each game. When Virginia pushes you around, you know you have serious issues.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.
I stand corrected! It’s the 5 highest rated conference champions, which would have included Army as the American champion and Boise as the MWC champion if Army had been able to beat Notre Dame and finish ranked ahead of the B12 champ.I don't think that's true. It's the 4 highest ranked conference champs
Mumpfield has pretty good hands. He has the occasional drop, but for the most part, I think he's pretty dependable. I like Konata.PITT doesn't have a WR that can actually catch.
