[QUOTE="roadkill, post: 829452, member: 1555"] I'm not giving our defense a pass by any means, but they didn't give up 50 points. That's an easy hot take when you just look at the score. The offense gifted, from an EPA perspective, at least 10 points directly via two picks. After our D forced a punt on Pitt's first possession, our offense went INT, INT, TD (maybe Pitt's D was getting tired of going right back on the field since they were scoring so fast), then 3 & out X3. At that point, our D was getting fatigued and all the momentum was on Pitt's side. Also, it appeared that Pitt's strategy of O-line holding (actually, tackling) and taking their chances on ref calls was working well in the first half, effectively negating our athletic D-line and linebackers despite their success in the prior two games. I don't know if someone spoke to the refs at halftime, but it's an interesting correlation that Pitt got 3 holding calls in the second half to go with their 10 points, vs none in the first half when their offense scored 35. That game was a failure of all phases at both the individual play execution level as well as at a macro level of coaching, planning, etc. It's natural to want to assign responsibility for the loss to a single major issue, but there's plenty of blame to spread around for this loss.
