8 keys to the Loss

[GFTakedown]

1. Missed Field extra point (Omari Palmer got plowed over)

2. Pitt 3rd drive
- 3rd and 13 from Pitt 45 complete pass for 14 yards (1st down)
- Forced fumble juggled out of bounds
- Missed pick by Eskridge because of shoe loss
- Defense holds off for a FG with 1st and goal at 3 (Excellent job)

3. 3rd and 1 at SU 38 (momentum change)
- SU passes the ball for an incomplete pass
- A pass play for a team that should just get the 1st down
- Ensuing drive by Pitt ends with a TD

4. Eskridge drop pass in the endzone

5. Pitt last TD
- 3rd and 7 at Pitt 25 complete pass for 17 yards plus 15 yard penalty

6. SU possession beginning of 4th quarter after TD
- after punt rushed 18 yards and a reception for 5 yds
- 2nd and 5 at SU 30(false start penalty)
- 2nd and 10 at SU 25 (rush 5 yds- which would have given a 1st down)
- timeout called by SU for ? reason (MAJOR ISSUE)
- 3rd and 5 at 25 (pass incomplete) then punt

7. 41 yd Field goal missed after interception
- Officials missed pass interference penalty on Pitt after Clark beat Hendricks

8. SU last possession
- 2nd and 8 at SU 46 (holding penalty on Trudo)
- 3rd and 8 at Pitt 38 (had to pass because no timeouts left)
- NO TIMEOUTS LEFT so couldn’t setup for FG fake
- Fake FG revealed by TO by Pitt
- 4th and 8 at Pitt 38 (incomplete pass 4 yds short of first down)
- Should have down a hail-mary to at least try to get a penalty

This makes 2.5 special teams(blocking, missed FG, ants in your pants), 3.5 offensive(penalties, play calling, timeout management), and 2 defensive issues to the loss(3rd down plays with penalty, missed turnovers). The defense made up for the bad 3rd down play by holding Pitt to a FG.

How many holding calls/penalties does Trudo get a game? His number seems to be called constantly!!
