the ACC fix is in already

Yeah I get that Pitt had some penalties but that defensive offsides when we intercepted it? That was total BS. Gonna be hard to win if the refs aren't calling an even game.
Or maybe Pitt should stop committing stupid penalties. The refs could've called several pass interferences on us already.
That's true, at least twice we grabbed the jersey of a VT player on their throws but it wasn't called.
Agree. Dont blame refs... but the funny thing is, some of them have that southern tang when calling penalties, noticed it since we joined the ACC. If u don't think some don't have a southern bias, you are kidding yourself. It's just the culture we entered.
No it's not...you are an idiot for thinking otherwise. I am not blaming the refs, but we entered a southern culture...and if you think that kind of stuff doesn't exist you are an idiot.
Also... you are telling me that some referees aren't bias in anyway? Ya...I got a swamp in Florida to sell you moron? It called human friggin nature!
Did any of you highly qualified football officiating critics notice that our corners were prison raping the VT outside receivers on literally every single pass rep, 95% of which were not called? Didn't think so.
How about the fact that we are coming off a bye week yet lined up in the neutral zone, jumped offsides, false started and held like it was our first scrimmage of the season? Can we blame that on the refs as well?
How about going 3 and out while we were behind early in the 4th quarter on a critical possession, in which all the creative play calling that got us back in the game apparently went out the window, and we ran the ball twice for -3 yards before nearly throwing a pick on 3rd and impossible? Refs again?
How about when T. Webb, who wouldn't do a D3 safety credit, dropped an easy pick at our goal line with VT going in? That would've saved the game for us, as it was an easy play. Threw it right into his breadbasket and it bounced off his hands like they were cinder blocks. A play that HAD TO BE MADE. Refs fault?
How about the fact that our punter can't get 35 yards on 2 4th Q attempts with the wind at his back?
We were just lucky that VT stupidly kept trying to run the ball in the red zone, or this one would have been over in the first quarter.
We showed some flashes and James Conner was awesome. But we played really poorly in all phases of the game, for too much of the game, to win. So many mental mistakes, self-inflicted wounds, and coming off a bye week no less. Not Narduzzis finest moment, and he spent half the game raving like a lunatic just to make it worse. Meanwhile his corners could have been called for PI on every single pass play.

I really dislike blaming the officials for a loss. Makes us look like our friends to the east. We lost. Had some real opportunities to win this game but couldn't convert. As much as our coverage sucked, the fact that we held them to 6 FG's is either a great job by our red zone defense or some horrendous play calling from the VT sidelines. Either way - we lost. Not blaming the zebra's.
Pitt's corners held and grabbed the entire game. They're so outmatched in this conference, hell even against some of the non-P5 players they face, that it's almost hard to believe.
They shouldn't be at this level. It's not their fault. It's not the fault of this staff that they have one recruiting class under their belt and can't get G5 level talent to perform at a P5 level.

It was a first down. We only challenged the call because it was the only desperation move left to try to stay in the game.
One of the worst bye week coaching jobs I can remember. Narduzzi might just be too stubborn to ever be successful. Certainly starting to lose faith he is anything more than average.
