Pitt got 2 TDs off mistakes by the D.. we had them 3rd and really long and allowed them to make enough that they went for a 4th and medium.. Then we had them 3rd and long and they threw a checkdown pass but the cushion was so big the WR had room to run 10 yds and make a first down..  Young Ds make those mistakes..  Both had nothing to do with the QB making plays..  Game 3 we allowed and 3rd and a mile first down..  3 games in a row we did that as the first UNC score came after allowing them to make a chunk of yards so they went for it on 4th down..

As we learn and trust we probably start to be a bit more aggressive and dont allow those plays and 2 of them led to big TDs early in games where as we had big plays into the red zone that led to nothing several times.. Games flip on sequences like that.  Could easily have been up 10-14 those first 2 games and then who knows what mistakes the offense makes trying to get back into a game.

Pickett makes more plays with his legs than he does throwing
