What play is PSU Defense...

Bingo...Jet Sweep it is (btw Julius flunked out of fat camp and is not on the team anymore) as they got killed by it last year. .
Now, one would think the geniuses at Pitt are working on all kinds of deception out of the jet sweep (reverses from it, misdirection and play action off of it). One can hope.
Good thing because they will be very surprised when we run the Triple Option offense all game.
ah, memories. misty water colored memories of the way we were...
2002? That team was better in most every way.
I joked with another that Pitt would run that with Henderson at QB, Hall at FB for the dive and Ollison as the pitch option.
That 2002 team was excellent, with a few close losses to the likes of TX A&M, ND, Miami, and WVU (a game PITT should have won handily). That was one of the many "what could have been" seasons in the last 15 years. 2009, 2015, and 2016 all had the same feel.
Is Nard running a FB this season? Hoke brought them back to Michigan, but they didn't get the type of attention Harbaugh gives it. Give em a couple carries, and swing em a couple passes, and they will block their arse off all game.
If you time those plays right, they can be broke for huge gains.

George Aston was an incredibly productive FB for PITT last year. Unfortunately, he was injured in training camp and won't be back for a few more weeks. If he was healthy, he would be on the field 75% of the time.
The swing pass to quadree ollison will be tough for them to stop. Expect QO to have minimum 150 APY in this game.
PSUs D line was abused and confused. Straight ahead power runs, jet sweeps, shuffle passes. They will need to man up first before worrying about what play to stop. I honestly don't know if they're better than they were, but I'm sure we'll find out pretty quick. The Pitt OL embarrassed them and put up 300 plus rushing last game, so I can't imagine they'll be worried about the passing game.
who said he was? I think the poster was referencing actions taken for him cutting line for a nachos grande and double stuffed burrito at the food truck outside the stadium..
