Pitt's non-conference schedule is over and the Panthers are 10-2 heading into ACC play. What did we learn about the Panthers and where do they stand at the end of December?

Is it just coincidence that they host the game?

Pitt will play its final game of 2024 today when the Panthers take on Toledo in the GameAbove Sports Bowl in Detroit. What should you watch for in the game? We've got it all right here on the Morning Pitt.

How can a coach have hubris in all the wrong ways? How can they puff their chest in the worst decisions and wilt in the easiest?

Let's take score:

1.) Starting a walk-on, letting him play 2.5 quarters after throwing absolute floating duck after floating duck. Even excusing the interceptions, he threw two hospital balls to our remaining best prospects for next year.

2.) Securing a 10 point lead with 10 minutes left and having the idiocy to put all Freshmen in at the skill positions, leading to a Pick-6.

3.) Having a chance to win the game in 2OT, but deciding to allow a TE to throw to a DT.

An absolute, total lack of awareness and situation.


Now let's swing to the other side:

1.) Refusing to let the best kicker in our school's history have a shot at glory with 1 second left and no downside.

2.) Kicking a field goal from 2 yard line, in 2OT

I've backed Pat for years, but he really is an emotional idiot and flat out P***** at the worst times. It's over, he needs to go. If the new AD is serious about NIL in the slightest, rip the band aid off as quickly as possible. This is one of the most pathetic performances I've ever seen from this program.

Pitt closed the season with a loss on Thursday as the Panthers fell to Toledo 48-46 in the GameAbove Sports Bowl in Detroit. After the game ended, we went live to talk about the loss, the season and a lot more with comments and questions from Pitt fans.

do you know why battle did not play.

Imagine, you’re a FedEx delivery driver for THE Coach Pat Narduzzi. You deliver his packages each week.

Each week he tells you some stories about his stop watch and how other people do it wrong; but you just keep listening.

Each week, he racks up those quality blockbuster wins versus Youngstown State and the undeniable football powerhouses at Kent State and UNC. You start to believe!

The last week of October big Jim and the rest of the usual suspects are making plans for the playoffs obviously, because this team is a juggernaut!

November 1st, with Pitt at 7-0 and staring down its next National Championship, you are headed overseas and the plane you are on goes down, and you end up on a deserted island with your buddy the volleyball.

You are discovered TODAY! You don’t care about your wife or kids, you NEED to see where Pitt is in the playoffs and get to the store to get an ACC championship t-shirt and you pull up the TV to see the Pitt game vs Toledo in the A. Powell Bowl instead.
