Last year of all the troubles Pitt had in pass blocking, I believe the biggest failures were in picking up the blitz. Straight up, wasn't as horrible as it seemed, just that teams saw failures in Pitt picking up blitzes, and really exposed that. On the straight up, take away what Bookser let through the swinging gate, most of the rest was fine.
The blitzing probably led to Pitt's successes on running on 3rd and long situation, as if the runner could break through the line, now the opposition were missing one of their back 7.
This year, Boberly had better find ways to work with Whipple and Brown in having the OL and backfield more prepared for blitzes.
