Pitt-UNC Gamethread

[TJOlsen]

The officiating crew misses yet another facemark call on Kenny.

 

[steel_curtain]

-Does it take Rocket Science to figure out North Carolina cant stop the run? But we keep passing.....

 

[BFo8]

Punting from the 40 wouldn’t have been horrible, small chance of a touchback since the punter can’t kick it that far.

 

[Pitt_Boss]

nice stop by the ref

 

[steel_curtain]

-Can someone call our coach and let him know North Carolina grabs a facemask on every tackle.

Ollison needs 25 or more carries today.

 

[npl1127]

Officials taking the afternoon off?

 

[Pitt_Boss]

swear i thought they were going to run a screen on first and goal

way to grind out a TD that drive, whatever it takes!

How does telling the coach help?

 

[kma0043]

I know it sounds antiquated, but continue to run the ball until UNC can stop it.

 

[cashisking884]

I've never been so disheartened following a TD drive. It's just pulling teeth to inch our way down the field against North Carolina.

 

[steel_curtain]

-Your right. Other coaches bitch to the refs to draw flags, ours doesnt.

 

[DiehardPanther]

Good drive.

 

[martingale]

If UNC is going to play 8 in the box, one would hope we would try to stretch the field vertically.

I don’t care how they do it, as long as they do it!

Now we just have to play some defense.

 

[TJOlsen]

great open field tackle by Hamlin!

 

[TJOlsen]

Jackson just got Mossed

 

[NCLee]

Defensive genius, defense is a liability!

 

[joeydavid]

Very good coverage with a better catch.

[bwh05]

The first quarter defensive effort has been disgraceful

 

[H2P 2003]

Is 4 years not enough time to establish your defense?

Letting up 140 yards to UNC in one quarter is a HUGE problem.

 

[kma0043]

On a side note: Nebraska really sucks.

Except what we just did isn't sustainable over an entire game, let alone an entire season. That's what is so disheartening. We aren't doing anything on offense that leads to offensive success. Which is why we've had very little offensive success this season. That drive wasn't an exception to that.

 

[rpastir]

WTF is with this defense?! They better step it up.

Should not be surprising.

Narduzzi stinks

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

Very good coverage with a better catch.

so true. that WR for NC is gonna play on Sundays. Dane couldnt' have played it any better

 

[rmf05]

Once again, Ollison, Wirginis and a bunch of MAC players. We need to step up here. If this is all we have, 2-10.

 

[pittman71]

It sure looks like UNC has better athletes than Pitt. Could be wrong

 

[martingale]

We have no difference makers on defense. I don't mind the scheme. The talent is horrible.

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

They do.

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

Secondary looking good - the best we've probably had in the HCPN era. They gotta get this run D improved.

The scheme hasn’t worked for 4 years .

It’s easily exploited .

 

[martingale]

Probably do. We don't have talent.

 

[NCLee]

Why are ziese and Briggs on the field still?

 

[VolPanther]

Man this defense sucks

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

NC and Fedora sure know how to exploit this defense... disgusting

 

[kma0043]

They do.

Recruiting doesn’t really matter. Isn’t that what some posters here believe?

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

NC and Fedora sure know how to exploit this defense... disgusting

Patrick Jones... where is he? He and Rashad Weaver are a great set of DLs... Hendrix just takes up space.

 

[steel_curtain]

North Carolina on pace to put up 600 yards on our defense.
