The fact that he has worked this into a relatively decent offense speaks volumes. Done a great job finding what works for this group and running plays that suit everyones strengths. My main question for this staff is why wasn't Ffrench involved more earlier in the season. Best playmaker at WR by far. Needs the ball somehow. I can't wait to see what they come up with this week.
Amazing coaching job by Shawn Watson

I'll give Watson credit for finding out what works and maximizing the talent. The problem it took way too many games to establish an identity. It's almost like they go through an offseason designing the offense and not recognizing what they have.
Made bold halftime adjustments and they worked very well. Have to tip the cap for sure.
Yep, found a way to win convincingly on a day when they couldn’t get the running game going at all.
I think it took time to see what kind of team they had. There were several new offensive lineman, wrs and a new quarterback. They had a lot of questions and playing a hard OOC schedule was tough but they did figure it out. Very proud of the head coach, staff and players. Pitt proud. H2P!
Kenny Pickett getting experience helps.
And how about a healthy Taysir Mack making plays and taking coverage away from French and the other receivers? He hasn't been healthy most of the year.

Hmmm. Same guy a majority on this forum wanted gone back in September. He's been better than given credit for some time. It's a great thing when "it clicks."
I will gladly eat some crow with regards to Watson. Not sure I'm totally sold, but he's done a good job lately in adjusting during the games.
That was as good of play calling as we’ve seen in a long time yesterday
In rertrospect this team was not ready for the challenging OOC it had. The Ol has not gelled, KP was till green and the Defense was still adapting to a more aggressive coordinator
As the OL has gelled and KP has matured this offense has looked better every week. The results show.

I think this sentiment is over stated.
Most all season- we had receivers getting open, but Kenny either missed them or waited too long so the window closed.
In addition to all the good points made in this thread somehow the PITT Oline came to life and are working as a high performing OL unit at this time.
This allowed Ollison & Hall ( O&H express) to get rolling which opened up lots of opportunities for Watson, Pickett and the WR's.
In the beginning of the year the OL looked in disarray!

This is also why playing a gauntlet of a OCC schedule is just bad for a program. You need very winnable games while you are figuring out what you have. That's what the programs who consistently win do.
