I saw a total breakdown on Offense & Defense and even missed Kick. Although I agree with you about losing Hendrix is great observation. I also think losing Soto, Jarrett along with Price being hurt 2 Games ago, really hurt the DLs, and there was no pass rush all game long, poor tackling, and still breakdowns by DBs, but they did improve in the Second Half, but then the Offense just made too many mistakes and Turnovers too?
Even with Hendrix, it was the Offense that finally cracked and Defense was spent in the last Miami TD too.
All Pitt Fans pretty much thought in the Unknown Preseason it was a tougher TOSS UP Schedule for 2016, and that is till true! Pitt is continuing to rebuild and it begins by crawling like it did 1996-2000, walking 2000-2014, and now jogging 2015-16 and to running beyond in the future.
Pitt has had ups and down close wins and losses, with some blowouts, but that is how programs rebuild, and how Teams learn it.
So Little Done So Much More To Do!
