ACC single game passing yardage record, and with our coach and DBs being ridiculed for that-justifiably-by national announcers, this game came down to our D stopping the run.

A validation of Duzzi ball, or a rebuke of Dabo's decision to run it twice when they could have easily competed a short pass? Or both?

Clemson has to think that they can get a yard on 2 running plays, although it would be hard not to pass, with the way they had torn Pitt's pass defense apart. A team as good as them should be able to get a yard against just about anyone.

You're not wrong, but that's the kind of old school thinking that cost them the ballgame.
 
So what? Pitt made them pay and won the game. And this is all you can say about a win for the ages? If I didnt know better you and a few other posters are actually unhappy Pitt loss so you all cannot cant act like juveniles after a loss and talk about the team and coaches.
 
I don't blame him for running the ball but run north and south. The pitch was dumb imo

Or his decision not to punt, or go conservative near the goal line and take tge easy 3 that could have sealed the win.

Clemsoned will always be a thing with Dabo.

Gotta give LOTS of credit to Pitt's offense! Another great effort & they have had a helluva year.

I agree with you. I think going for it was the right call, but the two plays they called on 3rd and 4th were questionable. It needed to be just straight up power between the tackles. We were playing with backups along the interior D line. A punt has a lot of moving parts and was a riskier play against what would've been an all-out punt block, just ask Harbaugh about that.
 
pitch wide was real dumb.. Basically the one and only one thing you probably cant do against us.. It's not our run defense that people are concerned about..
