Without the first Bad Interception and easy Field Position for a quick TD, the going up 14-0, the '6 Million Dollar' D-Bag Coach got Out Coached again. All of that money in their program and top recruits, they should have won this game by 34-41 points.
The CULT is not the #4 best Team despite that current ranking. Without Barkley, Gisecki, and the one DB(Allen?), PITT might have won this game despite having less talented Players at most of the Starting Positions. Imagine if Narduzzi had the talent on the CULT's Team? PITT would win all 4 Games in this current Series. I am not a fan of QBs with lack of mobility, unless the Team has a Top Offensive Line, as in College Football, a Dual Threat QB can be the great equalizer against Teams with Top 10 Recruiting Classes(look at the few losses Bama had the past 5-7 years).
Harbaugh & Meyer will finish off Milkdud this year(and Northwestern could upset them, as that looks like a dangerous Trap Game, and Sparty could make the Milkdud's season even worse). If Clark would have held on to the long pass during an earlier drive in the 1st Half, this could have been closer game(although credit to the DB who made a great hit on that play).
McSorley looks terrible, but just surrounded with a lot of Weapons. He is like Johnny Football in how he plays(he throws the ball up for grabs and his Receivers bail him out or a few of Moorhead's Plays creates such open Receivers that even the worst QBs in College FB could complete those Passes. McSorley only concerned me in that he can create yards by tucking the ball and taking off running off when their is good pass coverage). Once Moorhead leaves(escapes?) the compound and Barkley is gone, The CULT will be back to the 4th best Team(maybe 3rd some years) in their own Division despite the talent.
I would never trade places even if PITT would have lost this Game by 50 Points, and be associated with a School, whose CULT Members, who value Football over everything else(their self worth, as people, is directly linked to the success of 18-23 year olds playing football) and their School Name & Logo will always be associated with the Worst Scandal in College Football History. UnRivaled Indeed in that Area! I did not even want this series renewed being disgusted how most of their CULT Fans whined that they were the 'Real Victims'. Their FB Program should have been shut down for 5-10 years for 'Lack of Institutional Control' and placing the Image of their FB Program over the safety of Children.
However, Karma will catch up with those people and their FB Program in the next few years, as Wins are not likely to come against tOSU(last year was a lucky bounce off a blocked FG and Meyer hiring a terrible OC, who did not help with plays that wold work to the strength of Barrett) & Michigan, as long as Meyer & Harbaugh are still coaching at those 2 Schools. Also, Michigan State could get back to an upper level in the East Division after a terrible 2016 Season. And don't look now, but here comes Maryland. If they start to keep top local Recruits to attend their school, it will cause even more problems for Milkdud.
H2P!
