I also predicted 4 wins and there is less than 50/50 that we will reach that.We will be underdogs in all.
We are VERY lucky to be 3-3 -after viewing the replay with powerful dook .Peje Harris's come from behind tackle after the terrible int saved the game and our season and maybe really even...
yep, you would think that with a decent pass game it would open up the run game and with a running QB ,it would open up for the running backs even with avg blocking---which obviously not the case -as our 3rd down rate is 112th in US
WE were killed in air by pitt and outplayed really by dook. Almost anything is an improvement.Different players, varying def calls, new subbing patterns, are all ideas.
The biggest need is Oline improvement.If they were better we could run and our Off would be tough---- PLUS help the def. by keeping the ball.
The most disappointing part of team is the DBs. We have too much talent(I thougt) to play like that .dook (like others) killed us. The old guys...
I would like to know how much actual PLAYING time the 2nd unit guys got in- say-the KSU game or others ? You've got to expect injuries and prepare.There is a million excuses for the losers. hmmm
WE have enough talent and depth at the 1-4 spot to be competitive with most.The key to the season if 5 spot is competent ,.If not offensively but at least defensively. If not ,we will get killed on rebounding AND interior scoring probably..
Several things gave pitt advantage-- --- really weak warm-up game--they saw what happened to unc and PREPARED---we were over-confident----they had a 6th yr QB---maybe the coaches blow-up was motivation---CG and his coaches are recruiters basically ,not game directors
The biggest problem on Off is a poor running game.Of course that is mainly the Oline.Today we have a huge amount of pass yds but 3 for 15 on 3rd/4th and then redzone breakdowns.That is because of no running.
Key and/or Pat ought to be called out.
Not to be negative, but Carp and JT are both performance rated to date this season in bottom half of 440 safeties in US by a rating service . for ex-JThomas missed the sure tackle on Howell on the 1st TD.They are better than last yr but still average at this point.
Nobody has mentioned that BLOCKED punt early.What a MESS.It looked like our biggest blocker was a TE. The rest were DBs? They just overloaded and came. BAD BAD coaching.It could have made a big difference in game.
btw--do we have ANYONE that can drop a punt inside the 10 ? Shanahan sure can't.
We could very well win this game but I want to see us to win a close one--lets see us with the pressure of ---stopping pitt inside 10, making a winning FG outside 40, going on a last 2 min drive, or coming back from key 3rd and 18 on 3rd down in 4th qtr.
maybe 31-28 pitt
