Should have played freshmen on defense

[gary2]

could not have been worse - would have gained experience that would help next season

Blair, Edwards, Folston, Roy, Idowu, Bradley, Capara, Lewis, Maddox, Jackson, Webb, Mitchell, and Briggs all should have had higher recruited freshmen playing ahead of them.

Maybe you could make an argument for Capara - He has made some plays

Maybe Maddox could have been used on offense.

Whitehead needed to play a position that allowed him to make an impact.

What do we give up? 35 points or more a game?

Like the one now who keeps getting burnt?

Yep

EXACTLY!
This year should be about moving forward with talent, not scratching out 8 wins to mask a terrible defense.

We are playing the young guys now.

Not enough

It didn't matter. Freshman who get burnt now will get burnt later

 

[Golden eaglet]

Need for speed.

Garner, Coleman, Watts (more than 2 games), Camp, Miller, Pugh and Pine should all have played over Lewis, Webb, Caprara, Galambos, Taleni, Roy, Mitchell, Idowu. You can't win with the scrubs I named. Lose with young guys and prepare for 2017.

I don't think you play freshmen when they don't win the job in training camp.


That would squash all morale on the team

A lot of jockstraps left on the field by Pitt DBs also a lot of missed tackles, I also thought Miami's OL was suppose to be bad or was Pitts d line that bad?

Who gives a funk about the 2016 year. You gotta build for a championship, not a feel good year. Now they have to take lumps in 2017 just to get these guys feet wet.

 

[Pittx9]

Maybe they should take the next couple seasons off and just practice. Maybe someone will learn how to tackle by then.

And losing buy three or four TD's does what for morale on the team?
