Yes and no. When Watson called power plays, no one stopped Hall or Ollison. When Watson called RPO or Pass plays, it was mostly to bad results. You would think that a D1 OC would recognize what was working and call to that strength, but nope. Some how Watson kept putting the ball in KP hands or calling RPO far more then needed. If Pitt was truly comfortable being the power run team they were built to be, they win a min of 2 more games if not more and they keep other games from being blow outs.
Abso-freaking-lutely!! Against PSU, we had 200 yards rushing in the first half, and down should have been killing PSU...
First half...
3 and out
10 play 76 yards - TD ALL RUNS
9 play - 42 yards - 4 passes, 3 incomplete, one INT at PSU 1
7 play 79 yard drive, 2 pass completions for 9 yards total then a miss FG on the holder not catching the ball
Next drive drove to psu one before trying to go for it and turning the ball over on downs trying to sweep run
Next drive a bad holding call gives us 1-20, we then run 3 times for 14 yards to kill the half, but our punter fumbled the punt giving them a 14 yard TD.
Then an 8 yard run to end the half
This is every drive of the first half, we should have been winning and we shoved the ball down their throat, then hold psu to a 3 and out on the first drive of the second half, and come out throwing the ball (unsuccessfully). Then many penalties and sloppy play later we caved.
We should have just kept pounding it, shortening the game, doing what was working, and spreading it out.
Anyways.... I just bummed myself out
