Pitt Game Thread...

[DocFlanders]

I am more pessimistic after this win than I was after the last 2 losses.

Yeah it sucks to win...this has been our MO forever, play to the level of the opposing team

I can see that.

But... this win gets us a step closer to bowl eligibility, and the last two losses didn't.

 

[HOFCeluck]

We won!

 

[Delmar]

If the Pitt QB has a separated shoulder that red shirt is coming off anyway --especially since the back up's helmet comes off once every 10 plays.

What a painful win.

We're 1 and a billion vs Pitt and many (probably most) of the losses have been close. No win vs them is painful.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I'm kinda mad we couldn't get Ish over a 100 yards and keep his streak going.

 

[HOFCeluck]

Marrone was coaching our last Pitt win.

 

[nzm136]

Anybody else kill for that MTSU game back?

 

[orangeinohio]

I love beating Pitt.

 

[skurey]

I didn't expect a packed Dome but man was that a poor showing

 

[Kowbelkat]

WOW that was a perfect call . hit him in the hands with that

Nah off his shoulder terrible throw

Thank MTSU. They killed any chance of there being crowds this year.

I hate Shafer.

Probably the worst homecoming crowd ever in the Dome. The CUSE athletic department needs to do WHATEVER to get fannies in the seats. Winning is the first step though!

 

[Orangello]

Why didn't the clock run out? Pitt didn't call a timeout and just subbed in a new QB.

Refs say because we could

 

[Louie and Bouie]

Imagine having Cuse -3.5. Ouch.

 

[Orangello]

3 illegal substitution calls and yet another illegal formation call. HCDB had better get this penalty fest fixed and fast. No excuses for this.

 

[CuseLegacy]

 

[JoeSU]

No change to the RS rule.

The kid just lost a year of eligibility for a nothing last second play.

If Browne is out next week (or longer - I assume Narduzzi knew his prognosis), Pickett becomes the back-up QB, and odds are he's going to be called on at some point. In this scenario it doesn't hurt to get him a few live snaps to get comfortable.

Winning is a h*ll of an excuse.

Right here.

Why didn't we kick that FG? So confused. Make them score a TD to win. I know if we get it then it's over, but damn. Their kicker can hit from deep. I just don't get that call at all. Some baffling coaching decisions, and mistakes with 12 men on the field. The refs were odd, but I'll refrain from that.

That said. Thank God we won! 3-3. 3 more wins coming up.

 

[PhatOrange]

Our winning drive was enabled because we got a late hit on the QB . I bet if we go to the Pitt board, they have calls they would be complaining about.

That was a late hit and it wasn't even close.

You really trust Murphy to make it? I don't.

I could honestly have gone either way on the call (with a great kicker). I like the fact that Babers tried to slam the door shut though.

Murphy looked like he was in the zone today. I really doubt he misses a 22 yard chip shot. He was booming the ball out of the end zone too on kickoffs, so I wouldn't have been worried about a return. He seemed like a new man today, and has only missed two. He's improved a lot.

Their kicker probably could have had a shot from 58, so I don't see why we didn't take the points. Just my opinion.

I'll take the win, and hope we can stop making the unnecessary mistakes. Missing a first down by half a yard because of a slightly inaccurate throw, along with not just running a yard more on the route. 12 men on the field, etc. The little things need to be cleaned up, but we will get there.

Kicking a TH pretty much meant we lose 31 to 30. Whole crowd was praying we wouldn't kick. We also called a perfect play which would have used the game. Kid dropped it. Pitt was not going 60 yards in 55 secs with backup qb in anyways. Smart move not to kick
