Pitt vs SU Gamethread

[joeydavid]

Apparently it was a 12:30 start at Heinz...

 

[4upmc]

Way to bounce back KP to Addison!

 

[kma0043]

Yep. It appears the fumble woke the Panthers up

 

[Dan1911]

Running to set up the pass. Worked. I don’t like their pass first approach early.

 

[Black Panther]

Nice drive.much needed.

 

[BFo8]

Made it look very easy there. Nice pass protection last few throws.

 

[4upmc]

That’s a hit by Dennis

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

Defense looks real good so far.

 

[pittdrum]

Just keep everything going vertical until they show they can stop it. Run at the line. Keep gaining 5-7 yards with crosses, slants and seam routes. No reason for swing passes or anything else cute. Just keep going at them.

HTP

 

[kma0043]

Did anyone else hold their breath awaiting a flag on the Ford big hit?

 

[Pitt_Boss]

i know it's just one play, but is almost comical Krull drops his first pass. A lifetime baseball player too, he's supposed to have soft hands!

 

[PittPanther44]

These WRs look really good. Even with an occasional drop, just a ton of playmaking ability

 

[BFo8]

Pitt appears to have a very noticeable advantage on both lines today. Not very often we’ve been able to say that in conference play.

When Mack gets healthy you can add him into the mix as well.

hopefully just first game nerves after hearing about his good hands a lot.

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

74 - terrible blocking

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

Shanked FG. Self-inflicted wounds.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Aren't we pretty much at the point where we need someone else to kick the short field goals?

 

[Black Panther]

Does our blue look a little deeper? Or my imagination?

I think you may be right.but if we keep missing field goals we may be deeper in something else.

 

[BFo8]

Not easy to miss a 37 yarder by that much, ball landed closer to the sideline than the goal posts.

 

[kma0043]

Kessman has never kicked well from that hash mark. Me, sitting on a recliner, knew that going for in on 4th and 3 was better than that attempt.

 

[PittPanther44]

You don’t hand off on 3rd and 11 in plus territory if you are the better team

 

[4upmc]

Shanked FG. Self-inflicted wounds.

he makes them form 50 and misses ones that should be sure shots SMH. Real inconsistent

 

[4upmc]

[/QUOTE

Horrible call especially with KP getting in a rhythm

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

Aren't we pretty much at the point where we need someone else to kick the short field goals?

Agreed

 

[JD1976]

You don’t hand off on 3rd and 11 in plus territory if you are the better team

Yeah weird call if you don’t plan to go for it on 4th.

 

[ThePanthers]

Don't let kessman kick fgs less than 50 yards

 

[NNFAN]

He missed one last week with no pressure.

 

[4upmc]

Aren't we pretty much at the point where we need someone else to kick the short field goals?

the true Frosh is supposed to be real good...give him a shot

 

[Usuallyunusual-partdeux]

Kessman is awful man....seriously I like the kid as a person but he misses way too many of these very makeable kicks

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

Should’ve bought pressure.

 

[4upmc]

PPL tried to debate me that Pinnock was better than Mathis. Wrong

 

[kma0043]

Great

 

[JokePa]

Yeah weird call if you don’t plan to go for it on 4th.

I think it was a safe call to get in better fg range. Not the coaches fault out FG missed an easy kick

 

[cashisking884]

You don’t hand off on 3rd and 11 in plus territory if you are the better team

Sure you do, if you’re going for it. Which we probably should have done.

 

[kma0043]

Remember when Devito was knocked out last year and the back up was better? Looks that way again.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

I think it was a safe call to get in better fg range.

At this point, for us 47 yards is better field goal range than 37 yards.

 

[TDinTheSnow]

Ahh... I remember this feeling.. happens every year...

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

1) Why run wildcat when offense has a rhythm going?
2) Why is 74 playing RT?
3) Why run on 3rd and 11 unless you plan on going for it on 4th?

 

[cashisking884]

yet not blowing them out and actually losing at the moment. Who’s comments are more accurate?
Awkwrd

Us not being particularly good has nothing to do with Syracuse or it being a “rival.”
