Pitt-UNC Gamethread

[fnihost]

I’m sorry, but the defense is not getting out-schemed. It is getting out-efforted. I count at least 15 missed tackles, and getting out-fought for 50-50 balls on passes. The players are in position to make plays. They just aren’t interested in making them.

 

[JD1976]

Thru 5 quarters, Nathan Elliott is emerging as this generation’s Troy Nunes. The guys sucks against everyone except Pitt.

 

[martingale]

The scheme hasn’t worked for 4 years .

It’s easily exploited .

OSU ran the same scheme for an NC. MSU ran the same scheme and made the playoffs.
We have crap talent.
That's the coach.

 

[VolPanther]

We see Carolina blue and just shit the bed

 

[Wildman4Pitt]

RECRUITING MATTERS!

 

[bwh05]

If that’s the best we can play on defense Narduzzi should resign.

 

[JD1976]

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

They always do...even at their worst

 

[FieldHouse12]

pizzaboy said this game would be soo easy , and dumb Pitt fans fell for it .
he is a wvu fan .
pitt is weak on offense and defense.

 

[DiehardPanther]

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

Of course recruiting matters, but Pitt isn’t an easy place to recruit to. The effort sucks in this game. That is an indictment on this staff and players.

 

[rpastir]

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

And Ryan Switzer isn’t even on the field.

 

[steel_curtain]

If North Carolina scores another TD this drive, the game is probably over.

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

And Ryan Switzer isn’t even on the field.

Pickett not getting it done. Butler (88) shoulda caught that one that was a bit high. Targeting Mathews is a waste of time

 

[rmf05]

Pickett is regressing not improving.

 

[Wildman4Pitt]

Oh Bullshiit

 

[martingale]

Well, this game will be over soon.

Duzz stinks at it , be honest

 

[DiehardPanther]

Oh Bullshiit

Truth hurts.

 

[California Gold]

Are you basing this off of he didn't throw an interception in camp?

Pickett is regressing not improving.

ECU held UNC to 19 points and scored 41 points. If Pitt can't field better talent than ECU, we should drop football to div 2.

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

Oh Bullshiit

I don't see a huge disparity in talent... I do question why, with the running game working well, we came out in a passing set. Yes, we gotta establish the pass to keep the run alive. But don't give up on run

 

[TJOlsen]

We are running wayyyy too much zone and putting no pressure on the QB.

 

[BFo8]

ECU held UNC to 19 points and scored 41 points. If Pitt can't field better talent than ECU, we should drop football to div 2.

Add in that ECU easily one of the worst teams in the FBS the last couple seasons.

 

[Weavedog469]

We should easily handle Notre Dame and UCF. They haven't looked good

 

[kma0043]

Saluhaddin sighting. Looked quick

 

[cashisking884]

That was a life saving fumble recovery.

 

[martingale]

That was luck.

 

[HailtoPitt]

Pickett is regressing not improving.

He is missing open receivers. Definitely regressing.

 

[BFo8]

That was luck.

Sure it was, but that’s what bad teams do. Need to take advantage of it here.

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

That was luck.

Good hard tackle is not pure luck. I'll take the luck of a fumble anyday!

 

[PITTsburghFAN]

Crap pass to Lopes!

 

[bwh05]

Our WR are going to have to beat man coverage. We’re gonna see 8 man fronts to stop the run all day until we do.

 

[briano25]

Pickett stinks. He can only complete short passes. He overthrows everything

 

[joeydavid]

Pickett has been high on his passes so far. That doesn't mean he's regressing it means he's been high on his passes so far today.

Get a grip.

 

[BFo8]

They screwed up the trivia question as well.

Left out Ironhead and probably a couple others.

 

[TJOlsen]

UNC defensive backs are holding on every pass. Every pass.

 

[joeydavid]

Nice sequence of play calling on that drive.

 

[VolPanther]

Better be ahead at half cause God knows we won’t score in the second half. But doesn’t look good for our chances of shutting them down

 

[JD1976]

Nice sequence of play calling on that drive.

Yep credit to Watson. Well done on that drive. UNC has no answers.

 

[npl1127]

Have there been any flags? I’ve seen 3 obvious face masks and too many holds in the defensive backfield to count.

 

[VolPanther]

UNC defensive backs are holding on every pass. Every pass.

Agree they are getting away with a lot of holds
