I tried to edit that with more information to answer your question but Vincent Davis is whom you referenced. He got 247 yards that day which is more than a third of his season total of 632. So far this year he has 153 yards rushing and a gaudy 3.6 average with 2 TDs. Saving his best for us...

Yep and he continues to live off the fame of that one game having done next to nothing since. Pitt is a one trick pony but that one trick is pretty good.

I think it was much ado about nothing but Pat can be...shall we say...difficult in the best of times so maybe there is genuine dislike on the part of both coaches and both teams as the game was "chippy" as the kids are wont to say.

If it were me facing Tech, I would take away the run game and hit Sims hard every time he ran with the ball. I would make Sims complete passes to beat me. That said, Pitt did a good job of stopping Western Michigan's run game but were eaten alive by quick passes over the middle. Someone...

Pickett is more dangerous running to the outside and is much more likely to take chances to get the big play. Dangerous...to both opponents and his own team.

I did not bother to watch the 77-7 massacre of New Hampshire but I did watch a replay of the Western Michigan game. Pitt is very much like UNC. Little ground game and depending greatly upon Pickett to carry the team. He seems a bit faster than Howell but gifted the Broncos a touchdown by...

That's it? Seems pretty much normal operating procedure for an ACC officiated game involving UNC. Gee, did you really expect an evenly officiated game?

I meant defenseless New Hampshire. Miami hanged 70 plus on Central Conn as well. Pickett will have his own challenges for our defense. He is regarded as "Howell lite" but he has a receiver #11 who can flat go up and get the ball. He may benefit from a better offensive line too. We will see...

I think we got 8. Most of them were probably coverage sacks. UNC did not run drag routes or shallow crossing routes but persisted in trying to throw slow developing long passes. Andrew might need his own get back coach after this.

"Who can't we beat?" Alas, the corollary is true as well...who can't beat us? Perhaps, Duke but Cutliffe can be a real pain. It is a long season and Tech has done what Tech has done for years. They are giant killers of the first order. Since 2009, Tech has orchestrated 10 upsets of favored...

Precisely the point the forum College Football News was making in their preseason projection for Tech. They figured that at this point Tech would be 2-2 and so we are but with the twist of losing to Northern Illinois and beating #21 UNC. For both Pitt and Tech, this is shaping up to be a...

They are solid but Coastal like solid meaning the consistency of jello. They beat Tennessee and lose to a directional school then hang 70 plus on poor, defenseless Central Conn. On top of that, this is being billed as "The Handshake Game" due to the hard feelings between Collins and Pat...

I don't know. Sims may have won the job for good as long as he does not get hurt or go into that turnover machine mode.

Let's see beat Tennessee and lose to a directional school with all that entails. Are they in the Coastal? Yep. Makes sense to me.

A lot of that strutting is from their coach. Pat has a way of, shall we say, getting under the skin of opposing fans, players and coaches. They do about as much yapping as Miami. Midtown's restraint in his "dislike" of Pitt is admirable. I hate them because of their coach. Not as much as...

Good question. Really too early to say. It kind of reminded me of Ross in 1989 when we opened the season with three straight losses and then beat a heavily favored Maryland team. We went on to win 6 of the last 7 including a win over a top ten Clemson team. Perhaps, history will repeat...

May have been bet they wish they were back in something like the Big East again.

"Outlined against the blue gray October sky, the Four Horsemen rode again. In dramatic lore they were known as Famine, Pestilence, Destruction, and Death. These are only aliases... their true names are Sims, Gibbs, Mason, and McGowan" With apologies to Grantland Rice and the 1930s Four...

It isn't where you start that counts...its where you finish. Our team showed what they were made of tonight. I apologize to Jeff for doubting him. He showed a national TV audience what a true dual threat quarterback can do. Hats off to him and the rest of the Jackets.

It may have been 2005 when we recorded, I think, 9 sacks against Miami which came in the game undefeated and ranked #3. Another team with national asperations like Carolina whose hopes were dashed. Howell is probably going to need a crane to get out of bed tomorrow. Easily the best effort and...
