1.  Missed Field extra point ([B]Omari Palmer got plowed over[/B])

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 ([B]Excellent job[/B])

3.  3rd and 1 at SU 38 ([B]momentum change[/B])
-  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 ([B]MAJOR ISSUE[/B])
-  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!!
