Game Thread Pitt WMU

[ShipofFools]

Yarnell first pass attempt converts a 3rd and 18. nice pass

 

[Pitt8189]

Can’t believe this gameplan on offense

 

[cruzer]

Holy crap we're not helping Yarnell putting him 3rd and long on every series.

 

[Millerton24]

Playing not to lose. Nice fg though

 

[PITTfanSD]

Ultra conservative 1st series

 

[BreakingPitt]

OL is just brutal.

 

[ShipofFools]

Conservative playcalls. All runs but one pass. Sauls with a 48 yd FG. 1st possesion.

 

[Gep Dawg]

I was all about running the ball more but this is ridiculous. You can't run every down anymore! People run blitz. its not like the old days. Come on Cignetti!

 

[Pitt1992]

It’s not conservative there just trying to get out of this game without injuries,if he gets hurt there really isn’t anyone else

 

[DruidTM]

OL needs to be able to blow WMU off the ball for crissakes… doing Izzy zero favors

 

[joeydavid]

Killing 7 minutes each possession would be great.

 

[PITTfanSD]

I’m sorry but Warren looks like he’s had too many pork chops.

 

[OhioPanther99]

PN..."Let's make sure this game comes down to the last possession..."

 

[lostnite66]

My worthless grade for our first offensive drive is a D. Got 3 points, a few good runs, then got too predictable. Two penalties, only one pass, look too scared out there. Gotta do better.

 

[Pitt8189]

This guy must be somewhat good you recruited him to play football in a big time football conference.

LET HIM PASS THE BALL!

 

[ShipofFools]

Breaking him in with that 1st possession. Get him comfortable.

 

[cruzer]

Is Knute Rockne coaching?

 

[Pitt8189]

I could buy the getting him comfortable argument if we didn’t see the same thing with Patti last week.

He was injured though

 

[Burgh15]

It’s not conservative there just trying to get out of this game without injuries,if he gets hurt there really isn’t anyone else

This has nothing to do with injuries, they either don't trust Yarnell or afraid of him making a mistake.

 

[PITTfanSD]

The D is going to have to get some takeaways to give us a short field.

 

[Burgh15]

Also, who's the backup today?

 

[joeydavid]

D looks amped up

 

[ShipofFools]

Also, who's the backup today?

You are. Get there already.

 

[Black Panther]

I have a feeling Salopek won’t see the end of this game.

 

[cruzer]

Nice first series for the defense.

 

[BreakingPitt]

Slovis is the backup. Could play if needed.

 

[kma0043]

John Morgan is looking to have a nice Senior year.

 

[Phillypanther2]

PLEASE throw on 1st down.
I can’t believe Cignetti thinks it’s easier to throw on 3rd and long than on 1st down.

 

[cruzer]

Let me guess:

first down....run the ball
second down....run the ball
third down....run the ball (or throw if you're life is threatened)

 

[Millerton24]

To take pressure off a new qb u freakin pass on 1st or 2nd down. This is unreal. This is nonsense

 

[cruzer]

This game plan is setting college football back 50 years.

 

[kma0043]

May as well run wildcat.

 

[Burgh15]

Slovis is the backup. Could play if needed.

I mean, if he's healthy enough to be the backup you'd think he'd be starting.

 

[Pitt_VMB_81]

So sad, but Izzy will have a 500yd game

 

[lostnite66]

Looks like they are trying to run clock…….in the first quarter………with a commanding 3-0 lead.

 

[ShipofFools]

If the D pitches a shutout...we got it.

 

[Millerton24]

It’s not conservative there just trying to get out of this game without injuries,if he gets hurt there really isn’t anyone else

Slovis is cleared

 

[Farnox]

You got to open up the offense.

 

[Protes]

If the QB can't even be trusted to throw a pass on the other team's side of the field, why is he even on the roster?

 

[martingale]

We are going to regret hiring Cignetti.
If Pat wants to play an ultra conservative offense, then you cannot play a high-risk defense. I have no problem with putting your dbs on an island but doing that with this offense is foolish.
