Pitt/GaTech Game Thread

[crosbymalkin8771]

3rd and short is pretty automatic for them, and even if they don't get it, they seem fine just trying it again on 4th.

At least our O and D are equal this year in effectiveness

They both Shit the Bed equally

 

[JD1976]

Winslow is, hands-down, best player on team this year

Sadly, this statement may be true.

Didn't they go off for, like, 600+ yards vs Tennessee? Damn tough to stop. That's why pissing away that fumble opp was a freakin' disaster. Moss missed a nicely set-up shovel pass...

Have to laugh at Ga Tech throwing a pass. That helped us.
I would love for someone to tell me why we will play an 8 man front against other teams but against Ga Tech we defer to a passive 4-3 with our slow Lbs at least 6 yards off the line.

 

[HailtoPitt]

You are an excellent person. Thanks

Have a drink in a picturesque canal spot for me.

They are just dominating between the tackles right now. Against a D designed to take away the box. That can't be good.

I'm beginning to think , we could come up with 11 guys on this board and play better D

 

[rmf05]

This sucks. Their broken plays look better than anything we're doing.

 

[bwh05]

Hendrix gets cut to the ground every single time.

Just wait til Narduzzi gets "His" guys!!!! With the 13th ranked recruiting class out of 14 in the ACC, we are primed for a Conference Championship

 

[bwh05]

So the answer to can we stop them is, no we cannot.

 

[Toddy_Too_Hotty]

Is the GT QB from the WPIAL? Yinzers always tell me how great western PA high school football is.

 

[kma0043]

I bet we won't see GT punter today. Johnson knows they can make any 4th down conversion if they have to.

 

[thebadby2]

Wow Hamlin. You just got ABUSED. Your first Sportscenter moment, and not the kind you want your friends to see.

 

[raleighpanther]

Since the phrase "Pitt's passing game" is an oxymoron this year, I'd love to see Whitehead in the wildcat.

 

[PittPoker]

Narduzzi is another in a long line of busts. He can take Conklin and Watson and they all can take a hike.

I just saw the punter on the sidelines. He's having a beer.

 

[HailtoPitt]

I wonder if people on the GT message board are obsessing over the empty upper deck seating

The same amount of fans at Heinz would look twice as bad.

 

[HailtoPitt]

Pitt can win if Henderson has a couple of return TDs and Whitehead gets a pick six.

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

It appears as if Ben Di can't get the shovel pass figured out?

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

WTF is it with 3rd down passes to the short side, shorty of the STICKS!!!~!

 

[paulbl99]

3rd and 5
3.5 yard pass.

Brilliant

It's Ok.. Wanduzzi is a Defensive Guru. No worries

 

[runshadyrun]

Aston?

 

[bwh05]

Well this could get bad. The play calling is atrocious

 

[rmf05]

I think we needed to go for it on 4th and 4. Our D already made their stop.

 

[PittPoker]

Watson and Conklin, the 2 worst coordinators in all of football.

 

[kma0043]

Pitt will get the ball back with about 1:30 left to go in the half after a 15 play 9 minute GT possession here.

 

[HailtoPitt]

3rd and 5 and we get a 2 yard pass in the flat. Brilliant.

 

[thebadby2]

GT is taking it away.

The playcalling has been awful. We are doing everything they expect us to. They know what's coming on every snap. And there isn't even the threat of going downfield.

This could get ugly.

 

[Toddy_Too_Hotty]

So are our coaches paid by the shuttle pass? And once again, 3rd and 5, let's just go for 3.

 

[raleighpanther]

I will never, ever understand what just happened on that pass: 3rd and 5, and the receiver runs a 2 yard out. All you have to do is run 7-8 yards downfield, then turnout, and the same pass is there. And by pushing further downfield, you get the DB/LB moving backwards, which should give you more room on your break.
Not just a critique of Clark, you see this all the time.

With the receiver running parallel to the line of scrimmage. If you are going to throw short of the sticks at least make it to a guy who is running up field so he has some forward momentum when he catches the ball.

 

[King Of All Message Boards]

Maybe the play calling is limited because there’s not near enough talent. Which obviously falls on the staff as well.

 

[Jpripper88]

I'm sure they will score much quicker than that.

Because our offensive line sucks just like our defensive line sucks just like our WR's suck just like our playcalling sucks just like our coaching sucks. That should help clarify things a bit.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Punter!

 

[crosbymalkin8771]

Holy hell, a 3rd down stop. I agree GT would probably just go for it a lot on 4th, but would have to be 4th and short.
