Pitt Game Thread...

[NineOneSeven]

I hate football

See you next week

 

[Chip]

We aren’t Shafer or GRob bad.
This team has major flaws on the OL But we aren’t garbage.

I wish I could agree with this.

But I can’t.

Maybe the warts are in different places, but overall the results are the same. Not just the won-loss record.

I agree it shouldn’t have been overturned but there is not a conspiracy to screw us by the refs

I'm not going to go the conspiracy route but I think people are kidding themselves if they say certain teams aren't liked / disliked more by refs than others.

It seems like ACC refs have been unkind to Syracuse.

These are the ranks for how much Syracuse has been penalized since moving to the ACC (ranks out of 130 teams the last couple years, 128 teams from 2014-2017, 125 teams in 2013 and 124 teams in 2012)

2019: 126th
2018: 84th
2017: 112th
2016: 124th
2015: 40th
2014: 107th
2013: 117th
2012: 116th

5 false starts nothing to do with the refs

5 false starts nothing to do with the refs

Wrong

The Pitt LG false - started numerous times , no call.

Later he literally had to fall down and they called it finally.

It can be about the refs

(But our team... less hype videos, more practice)

 

[FllCrtPrss]

5 false starts nothing to do with the refs

Sure doesn't. It's not like we false start 5 times every week though.
But overruling that fumble is very much inline with the types of calls Syracuse has gotten.
Same with all the calls NC State got away with last week.

I think this season is as bad or worse as those season...

 

[BKCuse]

Nothing like a Cuse Football game to ruin a perfectly good Friday night.

From where? Skurey’s cell phone footage?

Zapruder film...between frame 318

These numbers are INSANE. How can a program be as consistently bad in penalties across different staffs ???

 

[4evaOrange]

Welch only looked better cause he was actually running for his life and then throwing bombs.
Everyone loves a deep pass. But Welch was only gunning them cause he was running. Lol

 

[4evaOrange]

Ah, deferring to the Syracusefan Magic 8 ball I see.

My sources say “yes.”

who is your source on this one? I need an actual name here not some BS.

 

[kirbivore]

Lmao, most uncertain change of possesion signal ever.

That guy had absolutely no idea.

 

[kirbivore]

These are ACC refs we're talking about here, so...

two Yankee teams so Swofford has no say in this one.
