Cuse not very good. We need a win today. Hopefully Narduzzi and company doesn't get completely abused today on D.

If Watson calls one more play with Browne running the QB option, Watson should be punched in the mouth. Calling that play with Browne is beyond stupid.

'Cuse not good? They've got at least the 3 top players on the field today for either team. Maybe they're not OK.State or GT, but they are pretty good. And we'll have to once again score a ton of points if we have any hope of beating them.
 
Yes, they are not very good. They lost to middle tenn state. Their best win is central michigan.
 
Gonna be a close game. Not sure Pitt has the firepower to stick with Syracuse....hope the D steps up today for the W.
 
Our best win is against an FCS school. Just saying.

Seriously though, Cuse has some legit talent on offense. Our OL is the key though. We need to establish LOS and generate long drives. 3&outs and giving Cuse short fields will lead to a dissaster.
 
And we're the underdog, aren't we? An underdog to a team that was beaten by Middle Tenn. State and whose best win was against Central Michigan.
 
Someone gets to .500 and inches one step closer to the Kmart Bluebutton Venmo Bowl in Flint, MI on December 13th.

Might want to get an extra db on the field and take a lb off in this game coach.
 
This is not complicated. Maddox doesn't turn his head when trying to cover a big strong receiver, and despite staying with him the whole way, gets beat twice deep (bailed out once on a cheap offensive pass interference call.)
Then he turns his head on the goal line throw...and gets the PBU. This is Maddox' fourth year. Gotta do it every play.
 
Laughable ... the constant 50 yard hold their #2 had on Ffrench on the punt ... completely obvious ... and no call
 
Few things more annoying than 3rd down and you get the ball to a big lumbering guy behind the sticks where he has to make someone miss.

Agree. Endless talk about Browne's big time arm, and so many showel passes and swing passes are called by design. I don't get it.
 
When your running game is this pedestrian you can’t afford too many dropped passes.
 
Pitt receivers should have caught one of the last two passes. Browne should have through earlier but his late throw was still on the money.
 
Terrible play calling again from Watson.[/QUOTE

I don't have a problem with the play calling, it's the execution which is on the players. The 2nd down call was aggressive and the play was there. Weah did not make the catch.
 
Defense stepping up nicely.

Lets get the O moving! Try AJ Davis and see if his speed can create something.
 
At least the D is looking pretty decent? Feels like we need a big turnover or special teams play for momentum though.

76 pts last year lol... it's a struggle to even get a first down so far this year.

So much wrong in the whole possession. The pass to the tight end was fine. But he should have bulldozed over the 80 pound DB who came up. Instead went down like a puss so couldn't get the easy first down. Then the Weah drop. Then the Browne inability to get two yards on a rollout instead relying on an uncatchable bullet.
