You didn't watch the game then. The freaking announcers said Narduzzi is running the Shafer D that is why Mahoney may know to play against it. I guess you didn't notice all the overload blitzes Pitt was running just like we used to run.This was not a Shafer defense, in any sense of the word
How is a player supposed to be in a position to succeed when they cannot get there effectively.Either Ward and Babers need to do some soul searching in the offense, or we need to have a coordinator who will put secondary players at least in a position to succeed

It's talent folks. Stop fighting over schemes, no scheme will work with this talent!
Um you are wrong. Pitt scored 43 on Clemson, 45 on Penn State, 70 on Duke, 45 on Georgia Tech. 36 on Virginia Tech, 34 on North Carolina.Today is not the day to defend ward and hammer the shafer D. Shafer never gave up 60+, or 60+ in the same season. This Pitt offense isnt high powered. our offense played great, ran a ton of plays and actually won the TOP essily. In my 30 years of watching college football, I have NEVER seen a college defense get gashed like this. never . tired of the talent argument . yes, we need more depth and bigger safeties but this was Game 12 boys and they should know the sceme by now. this scheme has never worked at the p5 level . our defense is stationary at the snap. of we are gonna gashed it better be gambling with a blitz and that isnt happening either . today was embarrassing .

Let me assist you...The Pitt D is the Narduzzi/Shafer D. Zack Mahoney just lead the Orange down for the 55th point.
You can convince Ward should be fired but we can't run the Shafer D either.

If they aren't a high powered offense to you no offense is high powered. They are a top 3 offense in the ACC.
Uh, Pitts offense put up 40+ on Clemson. What the hell are you talking about? Pitt has a damn good offense.
It's entirely possible that the defense was historically bad because the offense had an epic day. By the fourth quarter they were exhausted and there was nobody left to swap in. Just take a breath and take this game for what it is.Not 76 points in 24:00 good . give me a break. the offense had an epic day and the defense was historically bad.

I am pretty sure people keep confusing a Shafer D with a Bullough D. People so easily forget when Shafer was HC he explicitly stated on multiple occasions he DOES NOT interfere with his assistant coaches. All of Shafer's Defenses were top 30 iirc and none of Bullough's were. Maybe you could say he SHOULD HAVE interfered with the D (I would agree) but he explicitly said it was Bullough's D and not his.
With Shafer as the Defensive coordinator with and Babers as the CEO/offensive mastermind, we would have a hell of a combination.
Alsacs said:The Pitt D is the Narduzzi/Shafer D. Zack Mahoney just lead the Orange down for the 55th point. You can convince Ward should be fired but we can't run the Shafer D either.
You are missing the point. the offense put up big points AND held onto the ball . we had the ball for over 35:00, ran about 30-40 more plays than them. there is NO EXCUSE for the defense. they were not on the field that much. we got gashed for huge plays all day.
Lets make that decision when we have the right pieces in place. Talent wins and once we get more of it, we will be fine.
