Pitt vs UNC Game Day Thread

3rd and 18..... they really, really, really, really need to stop them here. They absolutely can not let Carolina get even a field goal here.
 
ARE YOU EFFING KIDDING ME!!???? this secondary is a freakin' joke.
 
I can't believe how bad this is for a defensive coach. I literally can't believe it. And I'm a Narduzzi fan
 
Rushing three and dropping 8 hasn't worked all season with this secondary.
 
That was the most pathetic drive by the defense all season. And it was all the secondary. The D-Line actually looked great on that drive. Pathetic half.

Potential 10 point swing.... Come on Pitt....

I can't stand outplaying an opponent and allowing them back purely on mistakes
 
This secondary is so bad. Maybe the worst in Pitt history. I've said it a billion times, Whitehead needs to play CB.

Some of the secondaries under Wanny were dreadful, even worse than this. At least we have one or two good players in this secondary. Still, what an awful quarter.
 
Pitt had the ball for 24+ minutes in the first half. The seconday can't even use the excuse of being tired. Hopefully Pitt makes some adjustments.

I've been torn on that. I don't think there's any doubt Whitehead would be our best corner right now. But my god how bad would the safeties then be?
 
Outside of the 2 fumbles, Pitt did not stop UNC in the 1st half. In the 3 drives that didnt end in a turnover, they have 2 TDs and a FG because they ran out of time.

It seems like UNC has a much better chance to stop our running game than we have to stop their passing game.

FWIW, ESPN says our win probably is 51.6% at half.
 
-Pitt lost 4 players off the defense 2 deep last year, 2 of those 4 were from the line. These guys have regressed back there in the secondary.

-North Carolina has had the ball for a total of 5 minutes in the first half and Pitt leads by 3. That's almost impossible to achieve.
 
Again, it is downright frightening that our young DBs cannot beat out these guys. Wow. They have to be pretty bad.
 
Was that Ffrench and Matthews first action of the year?
I think Ffrench has gotten snaps this year, but I'm not positive. I know for a fact Mathews at least played one snap against PSU, but I believe it was a running play.

I would bet the house that Hamlin would be playing a lot right now, probably even starting, if he wasn't hurt.
 
UNC's playcalling on that opening drive was mind-boggling to say the least.

I realize they feel ten yards is there when they want it but man.
 
Keeping Conner fresh.

Offense is fun to watch huge drive.

Watching the defense is like being the only guy at bridal shower or walking around fort ligonier days with your wife and 3 sisters.
