It is almost comical at this point how teams continue to beat this defense with slot receivers, running backs, or tight ends running straight line routes up the middle of the field.
It honestly feels like opposing offensive coordinators are just waiting for a critical moment in a game to call the play.
They put in a formation where they know that Pitt will blow the coverage. Probably from film study during the week instead of looking at an iPad on the sideline.
We have seen the same route run against us by Cinci, UNC, Cal, Syracuse, SMU and now Virginia. Every team on that list scored a TD on that pass except Syracuse.
Kudos to the other teams for exploiting a weakness, but at some point you need to look at yourself in the mirror and figure out why it is a weakness.
Our staff and players don’t seam to want to do that though. Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.
