The defense is still bad.

[bobfree]

-the effort is there but the scheme is poor and the talent is lacking.

-I love Narduzzi but he needs to make some tweaks. They literally were just throwing to the slot receiver as stocker was 10 yards away

I give Cuse much credit though, well prepared, crisp, and very fast Playmaking. Halftime Adjustments must be made and then see if Pitt Defense can settle it down, those are tough plays to stop. We are in a Hornet Scoring Contests again!

Babers is a very good coach and will be good for Cuse for years to come! Just hope Pitt can maintain a 2 TD lead in the next half? Hope the Defense makes adjustments but give much credit to Baber's & Staff Great Game Plan too. Pitt Defense is just playing catch up a sit adjusts to such well design plays.

 

[bobfree]

Nice adjustment by the staff sitting on the routes

 

[PhPanther1]

Pretty interesting to see them blitz the Safety and leave 1 cb to cover 2 WR's. 1st time Lewis made a good breakup on the inside wr running an out. 2nd time Jackson picked it off and ran it back. If Syracuse was smart, wr screen, block the one cb and walk into the endzone.

 

[Pitt-fan-in-Charlotte]

Entire defense will soon be hurt for being on field 150 plays

 

[vegasgreed]

this defense quit trying about 3 scores ago.

 

[SouthSidePanther]

Wonder what the odds are that Conklin is back next year. Syracuse with their backup qb no less. Yikes

 

[Pitt1992]

This is on PN,this defense gets worse week in week out and still no changes,if they would of lost this game people would be calling for his head

 

[pittman71]

lol defense was never any good. Pitt wins by scoring lots of points

 

[steel_curtain]

I can't decide if is the DC, the lack of talent, or because of all the injuries. But this defense is a disgrace.

 

[crosbymalkin8771]

Beyond all else, the effort today on D is pathetic.

 

[vegasgreed]

yep. its narduzzi's D. conklin is just a lap dog. the D has been a complete clusterfu*k all year.

no legit DC will come here, cause he will not be given control of the D.

 

[PhPanther1]

The players are there, they juat can't do shit. Coach's job is to put them in position to make plays....they just can't.

 

[bobfree]

Players aren't there all the time either.

If we didn't have literally a once in a generation offense we'd be 4-8. This defense is awful and something needs to change

 

[vegasgreed]

hill from wyoming

conklin from fiu.

harley from fiu.

simms from ysu

don't be totally surprised with this D.

and we got complete crap, far worse than matt house. let me repeat, worse than matt house.

 

[SouthSidePanther]

Sorry, but this one is on the defensive coaches. Effort has sucked just as much as scheme.

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

No argument.

 

[LeftCoastPanther]

Bad is one word.... it's beyond that.

-Simms is the least of our problems. I wouldn't oppose promoting him to DC.

 

[bobfree]

I have seen a lot of improvement with guys like taleni, Edwards, etc.

Harley is a great recruiter.

I'm not a fan of Conklin or hill

 

[President Stache]

Very clear our defense is tired

Great recruiter?

 

[PittPanther44]

When the team sings the fight song the Defense needs to be running laps

 

[PhPanther1]

lol the new back 7 can't get here fast enough.

 

[SouthSidePanther]

Conklin and Hill gotst to go

 

[bobfree]

Great recruiter?

Nate peterman good?

 

[steel_curtain]

Very clear our defense is tired

-Webb is slow, like really really slow. I don't know what his 40 is, but it has to be terrible. Trading Webb for Ford is a ginormous upgrade of epic proportions. Dam he sucks

Don't stop there. Briggs and Mitchell are slow and stink also. Garner and Campbell are upgrades there also.

 

[vegasgreed]

He has ZERO experience as DC. No thanks. Were in a big conference, experience matters.

-Narduzzi had zero experience as a headcoach before he came to Pitt.

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

Nate peterman good?

Good this season, no doubt

 

[vegasgreed]

yeah, and VT hired a experienced coach and he's playing in the ACC title game in his first year.

Experience matters. I want no part of a DC hire when he's never been in that position before. You see how our defensive coaches are working out, all from non p5 schools. Crap.

Not sure why people underestimate this

 

[vegasgreed]

steel, were watching one of the worst pitt defenses ever and your pining to hire a guy at DC and he's never been one before. that is dumb.

lower level schools take chances on dc/oc hires. that is where they make their bones. then when they have a track record, they get promoted to a big conference. why is that so hard for some to understand?

 

[Pitt1992]

If changes arnt made PN won't be around much longer if they loose their OC

-The defense last year was ranked in the top 20 in total defense in the entire country.

 

[Delpanther]

That's one of the 2 or 3 worst defensive games I have ever seen a Pitt team play. Worst tackling and game plan I have ever seen. The back 7 should have to go to the South Side and run wind sprints!!! Dane Jackson and Briggs belong at Duquesne. The LBs were equally horrendous... I just saw Caprara miss another tackle.

 

[bobfree]

Cuse going to score more points on the football field today then the basketball court.

 

[CaptainSidneyReilly]

Nice adjustment by the staff sitting on the routes

I stand Corrected, you were Correct Sir!

There were No Second Half Adjustments....Pitt scored 41 points, Cuse scored 40!!!

Well, at least we are now in the ACC Record Books!
