1. Pickett - his guts and competence is the entire difference.
2. Narduzzi - he hasn't lost this team, regardless of how bad it has gotten. When Travis put FSU up 14-3, who assumed they'd just roll over? Well, they didn't.
3. Whipple - yes, he should still be fired, but he called a pretty good game. It wasnt perfect, but it was better. The o-line still stinks, but Pickett wasnt in a lot of distress, and they were able to run a little in the second half.
4. Hill - had a couple rough plays early, particularly the Travis run where he whiffed on the play. I was thinking "Ford would be making these plays." But Hill hung in there.
5. Everyone - they didnt quit (except for that one guy who actually quit) and they appeared to have used the bye week well. Offense was competent, kessman made another 50er, good punting, swarming pass rush.
Pitt remains a flawed team, and beating FSU doesn't mean what it used to. but they won a road game in conference and stopped a disheartening skid. So for one week, let's just applaud the whole group.
