The reasoning made sense.
Clean up the offense by cutting down on penalties and turnovers and the production would improve. When Pitt had played “clean” in the first four games of the season, the offense had been relatively productive. That was especially true in the first half of games, when the offense had scored the bulk of its points on the season with just two turnovers and four penalties in four games.
So it made sense to think that if the offense avoided penalties and turnovers, the points would follow.
That logic was tested on Saturday at Spectrum Stadium, and unfortunately for the Panthers, the test was failed.
