- 67% postgame win expectancy for Pitt. Despite how bad it looked, we were the better team statistically.
- Pitt had a bad average starting field position in this game which hurt our expected points. Narduzzi commented on this after the game that we have had too many holding penalties on kickoffs. Need to fix this
- Rushing stats look great for the Oline. (4.1 line yards, 1.6 second level line yards, low Stuff Rate, perfect Power Success). Des Reid is great but they deserve big props for this game.
-Defense was bad. Low havoc rate, not generating many turnover.
- Overall Pitt was good with a 50% Success Rate, but the passing downs in 1st and 2nd Quarter were killers. Cincinnati mainly scoring on explosive plays in the 1st quarter and Pitt shut that down in the 2nd Quarter.
-Des and Mumpfield great games, Eli bad in 1st and 3rd, good in 2nd and 4th, Poppi was solid
-Bartholomew only really made an impact in the 1st and 4th, Kenny Johnson was a ghost. Need to get these two more involved.
