Game 7 Depth Chart / Game Notes | Pitt

[LeMoyneCuse]

Pena was obviously concussed after the targeting. Sucks he's still recovering.

Correction - Emily says the indication is lower body:

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Yeah Fran said something about Pena’s legs hurting.

 

[Chip]

Yeah Fran said something about Pena’s legs hurting.

My legs hurt every day, but I still make it to my laptop in my home office across the hall from my bedroom and do my job.



I'm joking

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

Will we see a different receiver in Pena’s spot or more two tight end sets?

Gonna be a Narduzzi surprise.

 

[kingtidge]

So has Wohlabaugh simply not made the depth chart at RT or is he injured again?

 

[Apdaly]

If pena’s out. I’m Honestly more concerned about punt return. Special teams already a weak point. Not sure who I trust back there next

Put Laquint back there and have him fair catch every punt.

 

[cuseMA]

Would they put Hatcher in the slot and put JRS outside?

 

[SU91]

At this point, losing Pena might be as bad as losing any other player on the team sans McCord. He’s key to our ball control offense. Sigh.

 

[kcsu]

Missing Pena really hurts the team. He’s made huge plays all season.

Hope he’s ok. Sucks that he was obviously hurt on the targeting. If you’re flagged for targeting and the kid you hit gets hurt you should miss as many games as the hurt player misses.

I'm not sure how we beat these guys without Pena. They are going to bring pressure all the time the ball is going to have to get out very fast. Pena is our guy for that. He might actually be the most important player on O after Kyle. This one really hurts to the point I won't touch Cuse on the bet

 

[kcsu]

Ross Simmons has the size and strength to get off press coverage not sure if he moves into the slot.

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

Nixon has shown a wide range of formations and plays. I have faith he will come out with a solid plan with or without Peña.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Emmanuel Ross seems to be close to getting back on the field too.

 

[kingtidge]

Yeah - this game just got a lot more difficult without Pena.

His loss is a real bummer.

 

[kcsu]

Nixon has shown a wide range of formations and plays. I have faith he will come out with a solid plan with or without Peña.

Agreed but you simply cant lose a guy like Pena and expect to be the same O. This is a massive blow

 

[kcsu]

Yeah - this game just got a lot more difficult.

Now they can completely take OG out of the game.

 

[cuseMA]

This could be a good game to get the run game going

 

[Chip]

I don't know why everyone is so worried about Pena. We're playing Pitt so it's Villari week. We gave him some prep during NC State.

 

[kcsu]

Put LA in the slot and Willis at RB?

 

[kingtidge]

Now they can completely take OG out of the game.

Meeks turn to shine hopefully.

 

[kingtidge]

I don't know why everyone is so worried about Pena. We're playing Pitt so it's Villari week. We gave him some prep during NC State.

Duzzi will have watched what USF's meathead coach did to wildcat Villari in the bowl game and will have their D ready... I expect we'll give it a few tries but I wouldn't expect much from it.

 

[djorange1989]

Not what we wanted to hear. Other dudes gotta step up, pretty big loss assuming he is indeed out

 

[Doc5120]

Would love to see some sort of breakdown showing number of guys that miss a game(s), average number of games missed per player and total games missed altogether, relative to other teams. It feels like we are constantly playing without so many of our 1st and 2nd teamers every single season.

 

[mlbball99]

Do we know if Pitt is dealing with any notable injuries? Or is just our guys that are hurt.
