That pick 6 changed everything. At 10-0, it might be over. Someone pointed out that there is some advanced stat showing that Holstein has thrown a very large percentage of interceptable passes but has been lucky to not get picked. It came back to bite him. This game doesn't look good right now.

 

[cruzer]

What an idiot McMillon is to celebrate that.

My thought exactly. He got torched and was lucky the guy drops a perfect pass and he's celebrating.

No team can afford to think like that

It’s as bad as thinking when USF opened in 2001 with an onside kick it shocked the game/team into a guaranteed loss

Having said that the defense had been on the field way too long

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Pass rush is about as effective as a light breeze.

19 play drive, 0 points.

We simply don't get any pressure on the QB with our front four. If we don't blitz, we don't come close to the QB.

 

[HopeandChangeforAntoons]

Crazy fumbles. Missed tackles. Pick six. Wide open receivers on 3rd down. Feels like Pitt switched the difficulty to “Heisman” this week.

 

[cruzer]

Mack Brown is our best weapon.

 

[cashisking884]

Have to just sell out to stop the run and dare their QB to beat you.

He isn’t good.

 

[pittiswhereiamfrom2]

You can’t argue with the decision to go for it on 4th, but all they had to do was run it and they would have gotten the 1st.

 

[thebadby2]

Good stop on 4th in the red zone, but…since when are we a defense that doesn’t blitz on 3rd and long down there? Our front 4 this year can’t get pressure, there’s not an alpha in the bunch.

Been a huge problem the last two years.

Is Cracker Barrel famous for fried apples?

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

This Des Reid fellow is pretty good.

 

[BreakingPitt]

Reid the gamebreaker. Surprised he got caught.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Good response!

 

[pittiswhereiamfrom2]

They need a TD here. Come on 🙂

 

[BreakingPitt]

Big momentum swing after the TO on downs.

 

[HopeandChangeforAntoons]

Good response!

Narduzzi’s inner dialogue after his defense was on the field for 19 plays and his offense scores in 5 has to be something else.

 

[thebadby2]

Great drive and finish. Anyone else a little surprised Des Got caught from behind?

Somehow I just put it together for the first time: Sincere Lee = “Sincerely”. LOL

I do think one play, even early, can decide a game. Lets say we go up 10-0 and UNC punts and then we go up 17-0, its over.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Good call.

It will be interesting to see what the defense does after that long drive and then our relatively short possession.

I think the kid that caught Reid is the only guy that coulda caught him. Also, Des's fastest range is 30-40 yds. Bigger guys with longer legs will start to benefit from stride length

 

[H2Ppanthers]

Should be 21-0 right now!

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

Something better than 19 plays, lets hope we're making Criswell look like Lamar Jackson

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

3rd and long, no blitz, no pressure, easy 1st down.

 

[Millerton]

He isn’t good.

He looks good to me

 

[cruzer]

Defense looks bad. Absolutely no pressure. UNC guys running wide open. Any QB could hit a guy who is that open.

 

[cashisking884]

If defense could just get a stop, this game would be on the edge of being over.

 

[cashisking884]

He looks good to me

What has he done that’s impressive?

It sucks that the pass rush doesn’t exist and the corner play is average.

But that doesn’t make the QB “good.”

 

[PANTHERAN]

Because they can’t stop the Carolina O.

How can u tell?

Yay, Narduzzi defensive timeout. Let’s see how this one works out.

He just sailed a pass over a wide open receiver that is taller than most of the NBA.

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

Stunned the TO didn't result in NC TD!!!
Pitt needs to eat clock now and give D a rest til halftime

 

[Millerton]

Smh, is Eli good?? Experts say hes 6th best qb in country. I pick for td and a few missed open receivers.

 

[cashisking884]

That’s targeting

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

That’s targeting

Yes it is.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

There are no "experts" who think that Holstein is the 6th best QB in the country.

Literally, none.
