- Aggressive play on both sides of the ball.
- The band mic'd up
- QB Browne standing in the pocket and finding the open receiver
- Our DBs turning their head around when the ball is in the air
- Our DEs causing havoc
Things I want to see Saturday
- Thread starter Cathedral Lawn Frisbee
- Start date
1) A Win
2) No Injuries
You should expect a similar game plan to last year's Villanova game.

These are my thoughts. I think you will see vanilla play unless the game is close in the second half.
- The running game being dominant against a team that lost of few excellent DL last year. How will the new faces on the OL look; will it take time for them to gel?
- Someone other than Weah emerging as a threat within the WR corps.
- Flanagan potentially filling the role of a hybrid of Aston/Orndoff in both the run-blocking and receiving/running game.
- Quick reads of the defense by Browne. Can he handle the plethora of options this offense will provide, chosing the best one based on what the defense shows?
- The DL dominating the LOS and keeping pressure on the QB without allowing the RB to bounce to the outside. One of the things Barkley does very well is bouncing the ball outside in two quick steps for large gains. If the DEs and LBs cannot seal the edge against YSU, they are going to have a hell of a time against PSU.
- Like stated above; the secondary turning their heads and making a play on the ball. We've heard great things about Maddox in camp, and the progress he has made in this department. Will that actually occur against a real opponent where you cannot hear all of the coaches yelling "ball".
This is what I'm looking forward to seeing: An unhappy Bo.
Well, I mean the whole point of the thread is to list things you want to see on Saturday.
Aggressive defense. Clock eating smash mouth ground attack with as few passes as possible. No injuries in a comfortable win.
And McGregor guaranteed a first round KO of Mayweather.
Well I mean they have a chance. I just like to think we're beyond losing these kinds of games, and with how hard the schedule is this year, they'd better be.
For the "not' list, I'd add our QB throwing a pick six, our QB getting strip sacked, missed field goals and the loss of our best player to injury, all of which made that last game YSU an ugly win.
Why is the band being mic'd up #2 on your list? That should be the least of everyone's concerns.
Just win and have no injuries. The offense will be vanilla, so I hope the defense plays well so it's not one of those, "closer than it should be" games.
Best possible thing would be the backup QB playing for Pitt late in the 3rd quarter -- and not because Max B. was injured or ineffective...
Other things great to see:
--Hendrix looking dominant;
--the DTs getting a good push;
--TE Clark looking like a star.
Go Pitt.

Go Pitt.
And isn't it a rather unfortunate thing if your band NEEDS to be mic'd up?
1. A win.
2. No injuries.
3. Our QB looking comfortable.
4. A much improved defense.
5. A dry day, at least weather-wise.

I think you're four for five.1. A win.

I just looked at the weather report and its a 58-60% chance of showers from like noon on????
But weather math isn't like real math.
For example its a 58% chance of rain so if it rains where you're located its 100%, if it doesn't rain its 0% , otherwise its 58% chance!?
As far as football goes we better figure out a way to dominate YSU or the disinterested PITTSBURGH non fans will become more disinterested after game # 1.
No chance they show up to rally the team after a so /so performance!
