Well that didn't look like a fumble live, but maybe we get a replay break.

 

[cashisking884]

That’s an incomplete pass and probably not even close

 

[cruzer]

Holy crap is that a big turnaround. Wait. This will get overturned.

 

[DruidTM]

Of course his arm went forward

Can’t have any luck at all

 

[cashisking884]

They’ve recovered two live fumbles

 

[cruzer]

No surprise.

 

[happjack]

All Carolina Conference refs strike again, most crooked league in sports.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

How many of our D linemen would start for St. Francis?

 

[ECUPittfan]

Nice clock mgmt Pat. Wait 15 sec and then call timeout

 

[thebadby2]

And he's played pretty well. But playing pretty well over four games, two of which were Kent and Youngstown State, doesn't make you the 6th best QB in college football.

Or, really, anything close to that.

Exactly right. Have to like what we’ve seen so far and we appear to found our guy and potentially a very good one for the next couple years. Not sure why some feel some childish compulsion to hyperbolize beyond that.

 

[DruidTM]

The exact next play we have two guys in backfield who freeze instead of putting that QB on his ass again… pass play given up… first down.

Why?????

 

[HopeandChangeforAntoons]

Who needs timeouts in case we get the ball back?!? Amiright?!?

 

[cashisking884]

You’re the one worried about the big dogs coming in and buying them away come the offseason.

Plz STFU

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Just let them score ans try to get 3. Or, just be yourselves. They'll score anyway.

 

[kma0043]

D line will cost this team
Games this year

 

[Millerton]

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

Literally, none.

Top 5? Pitt QB Eli Holstein Rises in National Quarterback Power Ranking

Eli Holstein was ranked No. 12 in the most recent quarterback power rankings from CBS Sports, but after another stellar performance, he’s risen the ranks. A week after CBS Sports’ Clint Brewster ranked Holstein just outside the top 10, a dominant performance in a 73-17 win against Youngstown...

Defense needs a lot of work yet. D Line disappointing.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

Kade Bell is the one thing we have going for us. The talent level sucks ass.

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

#82 should walk home after that PF on a kickoff

 

[303vND]

Narduzzi needs to hire a new DC who can put together a decent unit. Tired of seeing this over again.

 

[kma0043]

A lot of penalties in the first half and a pick 6 too.
Good to tied at half.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

#82 should walk home after that PF on a kickoff

Holstein should be right behind him after checking down three times in a row.

Bates does what Duzz wants.

Um, it's the same defensive coordinator who oversaw quite a bit of success here. What are you supposed to do when your d linemen couldn't start for Canon Mac?

 

[ECUPittfan]

And ending the half with a timeout in your pocket

 

[cruzer]

Holding on virtually every play Pitt runs. I don't recall seeing ANY holding calls on UNC.

 

[PittHOFs]

Recruit better DL

 

[Millerton]

Follow my lead Joe. U should know that by now.

 

[Franb]

And ending the half with a timeout in your pocket

The Tomlin strategy.

 

[DruidTM]

Holding on virtually every play Pitt runs. I don't recall seeing ANY holding calls on UNC.

Exactly because there weren’t any

Ah, I get it. You don't understand the difference between "played well in a few games, half of which were against poor opposition" and "the best".

Like earlier this year, Bailey Falter threw seven scoreless innings one day for the Pirates. In your mind, that made him one of the best pitchers in baseball.

 

[cruzer]

Unlikely

Defensive problem is a talent problem.
Which is a Narduzzi problem.

There isn’t a single person in the two deep on the DL that would start for the average P4 school. And I’m not sure any would be in the two deep for the average P4 school.

That’s not on the DC.

 

[cashisking884]

Recruit better DL

Yep. Anybody blaming anybody else but Narduzzi for the defense is just blame shifting because Narduzzi is the HC and he isn’t going anywhere. So it’s easier to pretend like the problem is a replaceable fix.

The problem is multiple recruiting cycle misses that have caught up on the defensive side.

 

[TD_6082]

Where's Nick James?

 

[Sean Miller Fan]

We held Hampton to under 100 yards in the half. If our DL can hold him to under 200 yards for the game, that's a win!

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Carolina has 23 rushing attempts for 121 yards. They've got to come out and just try to run the ball right down our throats here, don't they?

 

[Sean Miller Fan]

Im not sure why they would pass. If your run 5 times in a row, there is a 100% chance of gaining the 10 yards needed for a 1st.

Accept the L. U were wrong. I was right. I NEVER said such a thing. These football people did. Ummm did they not know the competition??
