Ok then run the ball and keep it simple. Dropping him back on long developing plays most of the half was so stupid. It is bad coaching
Peach Bowl - Pitt Michigan St.

Pitt is a better team than Michigan State.
I wont watch espn again until september.

Exactly. They think the offense is still as wide open as if Pickett or even Patti was playing. Hell, Charlie batch was talking about this exact thing on Dve the other day about the steelers and when he and Maddox were hurt.
Honestly, as soon as I jumped on I was waiting for the "bad coaching" derp comment. I figured most people I have on ignore would be throwing that out.
Slovis >> Patti. He's far more than a sliver of hope. I'm not saying he'll be Pickett but he could certainly be the next Peterman.
I agree. The way this game was coached by Narduzzi, you'd think this was his first bowl game of any kind. His butt was tighter than a garage door spring.
Playing press quarters on third and 10 on their first possession was terrible too. They didn’t make one mistake that cost us the game. There were several
C'mon now, pump the brakes a bit. 2 good teams played and yes I think Pitt wins with Patti
And if we see him again in a game of significance....we’re in deep deep trouble. Not his fault but he just lacks P5 talent.
We all understand this. That’s why it’s bad coaching. Stop calling a game plan for Patti and run the ball more to take the heat off the guy. Mix up defensive coverage to not make it so easy on 3rd and 4th and long.
So with 30 seconds left you are going for a touchdown by throwing a 8 yard pass on the 30 yard line?
I agree but the completion to Krull on the previous play was a very dangerous throw to attempt. Not sure Beville should have been trusted to throw routes over the middle on the following play. Would have liked to see something like a trips formation used to set up a screen to Addison. Even if that basically telegraphed what was coming; sometimes it's best to gamble on you best player making a play.
Just frustrated! It was right there. I will realize what a nice year it was . . . In a week or 2.
I love this coaching staff for a lot of reasons. They run a clean program and the kids love them and leave it all on the field. I’m just disappointed the coaching staff didn’t give these kids a better chance in this game. Still think it’s a great season. Still think the staff did a great job for most of the season. Still think Duzz deserves the extension. Just hope they hire a good game day OC who can make changes on the fly.
We played hard. This loss really isn’t on the players. They did enough to steal a win
It's easy to second guess with what-ifs with play calling. But I have to admit...the last series when we were already in FG range and throwing down the middle was just bonehead play calling by someone.
What are you talking about, they had time for more than 1 additional play. A few more.
I agree...this loss isn't on the players. They did the best they could. This loss is entirely on the coaches...all of them. Bonehead plays all around.
Agree with you. You play for the winning TD right up until you can’t anymore.
Ridiculous, Pitt should stay about the same, no lower than 15. They hung with won of best big 10 teams with a inexperienced most important position QB.
MSU isn’t very good. Coaching allowed them to come back and win. My impression is that they’re going to regret paying $10 million a year for what they’re to get.

It won’t...he made Ben look like Lamar Jackson. How can you be that young and that immobile as a P5 scholarship “athlete”?. His forty time is plodding
.
From what I've seen of Patti, he can be the next Peterman
I’m not arguing the appropriateness of that throw or play call, I’m just arguing that you don’t settle for a FG at that point when there is still time plus TO available for 2 or 3 more plays before having to settle for the FG.
Any concerns for Belville making a mistake are likely magnified going to OT.
I see the other side but under those circumstances I have zero issue going for the win.
I see, you’re a proponent of the ‘play not to lose’ approach.
We all know how well that approach usually works out.
I get why he did it. Beville wasn't seeing the field well and the defense was playing lights out. However, anyone watching that game could sense it was only a matter of time before Michigan State would start to move the ball and score. It's a part of the game feel and it happened just as I expected.
They needed to give Beville a chance to make some throws. You have the best receiver in the country, design safe throws to him, or anyone for that matter. It's a bowl game, there was literally nothing to lose by playing it ultraconservative. The only thing Pitt was playing for was a 12th win and they were playing with house money after Beville entered the game because they had not business even competing at that point let along having the opportunity with the lead in the fourth quarter.
Oh, I agree....MSU is not good at all. They got lucky against a decimated Pitt team with no offense and no QB. I'd love to play them with Patti in for the whole game and Izzy as well. The outcome would have been different, I guarantee it. And MSU wouldn't have liked it.
Slovis isn’t coming here to sit. I don’t know that he was promised anything however I can’t imagine he wasn’t told he’d be the favorite going in by a fair amount. It may not be completely handed to him but Patti would have to play his ass off to get the starting nod I’d have to think.
This one of many Pitt games that I never ever ever want to talk about again. Would rather a blow out than a keep me hopefull fo the entire game with that shitty coaching and play calling. I wouldn’t be upset of all if we lost decently. But now I’m beyond irate and my family hates me for my mood.
Yes definitely. He will be the starter unless something crazy happens. He’s awesome I don’t think people realize how good he was. Going into this season he was projected to be a top ten pick. His injury and then a coaching change is why he didn’t go pro and decided to come here for one or two more years.
