Pitts lucky Shrader was out

[jgeorge322]

Think we take this if he plays

 

[FrancoPizza]

Maybe. Maybe….

 

[dwilmont44]

The fun thing about this hypothetical is no one can prove you wrong so you can choose to believe it no matter what.

 

[Chris02M]

Think we take this if he plays

does he magically made the OL actually block?

does he magically made the OL actually block?

He would have converted half of those 3rd downs with his legs which then opens things up down the field.

not ND shrader

 

[blizz]

Dude, they just beat the ever living sh** out of us.

 

[Entropic]

Yeah there were some significant opportunities where the ball was overthrown. Shrader hits those. That overthrow of OG was a walk in TD.

Edit: healthy GS. He has no accuracy or velocity without a good ankle to drive off of.

 

[Ozcuse]

not ND shrader

To be fair he got hurt. The 7 prior games was more than enough evidence

 

[SaltineWarrior]

No but even when GS was not perfect, he made decisions quicker in the pocket. And was a threat to run. Carlos took so much time in the backfield; most OLines and especially SU’s can’t maintain their blocks for that line.

Exactly. I’m sure NCST fans said the same thing in our game with Leary out.

there were no blocks to maintain except cruz who seemed to do fine

 

[hoopsupstate]

I don’t understand how a qb can run out of bounds for a five yard loss instead of throwing the ball away.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Our tight ends are horrible blockers. Pitt has five better than anything we have.

I choose not to believe that hogwash. This team is not good

 

[CuseGrad94]

Dude, they just beat the ever living sh** out of us.

They did, but there were tons of plays to be made and if you think GS makes them it’s plausible

 

[dasher]

Exactly. I’m sure NCST fans said the same thing in our game with Leary out.

They might have been right

 

[FasterCuse]

Idk if most of you have watched the same two players I have. A healthy Shrader rolls over Pitt. Anyone that thinks CDRW right now is the better QB needs to go back and watch the first 6.5 games when both of Shrader's ankles weren't messed up.

 

[Trueblue25]

There’s no reason to believe we win with Shrader. Pitt’s absolutely owned Dino.

Except even if he plays it wouldn’t have been perfectly healthy and maybe the vaunted Pitt D would have knocked him out of the game.

 

[anomander]

Dude, they just beat the ever living sh** out of us.

By 1 possession

 

[Orangello]

along with everyone else in the ACC and Middle Tenn

 

[FloridaFan]

By 1 possession

2 but I get your point

In this hypothetical does Pitt get to have their all world RB?

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Which Shrader? The one we saw against ND and at the end of last season?

Doubt it.

The line being horrible and Gadsden looking disinterested tells me the team plays better for GS though. But again we have seen plenty of badly injured GS the last 2 years toughing it out its not pretty.
