I'd like to think that Miami playing Pitt was like Uncle Milty competing in a "longest d!ck" competition...we pulled out just enough to win.

Gotcha, no big deal. I was getting worried that you had gone full-Mullet and thought there were 50,000 fans behind our bench!

Not everything is p-analytical. I did find it amusing that we should try to Beat Virgin A. I just didn't think that the hashtag would trend well. All's well that ends well.

Did you proofread it?

I would...not...use that hashtag...

FYI, Big 10 and Pac 12 teams are IN the polls now.

I never said we got lucky to beat Pitt. I clearly said we still have a lot of work to do in pass defense. A better team will make us pay a higher price for those coverage lapses. I think we are a Top 4 team in the ACC this year (yes, including ND). But the gap between teams 4 and 5, or 3 and...

Pickett > Yellen Healthy Pickett > Yellen Hurt Pickett ? Yellen

That may be a fair point. Maybe the better way of saying it is that he still had more success in the first two games. I think you and I are largely in agreement, and that's what confuses me about whether Lashlee or King needs to make the improvements. We've heard that Lashlee's system is so...

Look, I think you're missing the point here. I'll try one more time and then leave it alone. I do not believe it was Miami's strategery to "let Pitt beat itself". I do not think our DBs were hanging back, just letting the Pitt players drop balls. I realize Pitt dropping the ball so much...

Had nothing to do with noise. More importantly, that was a play where Roche was dropping into coverage. He almost had an interception. Therefore, there was NO REASON to be up that close to the line of scrimmage. Roche was actually doing himself a disservice by being THAT CLOSE to the line...

Agreed. But, again, we can't ignore that THOSE PARTICULAR DROPS against Miami were in "wide-open" situations. Yes, Pitt drops a bunch. But that shouldn't excuse our poor coverage on SEVERAL of those drops. That is all.

We can say a lot of things. But several of those Pitt drops were horrific. And should have been easy catches for decent yardage. Having said that, we played the run very well. But we have to get better on pass defense. Losing guys to targeting penalties nearly every week is not helping...

Yeah, to most of our fans, Yellen was a big unknown before Saturday at 11:59 am. I'm not saying that HS ratings last forever, I'm just saying I didn't think he was terrible, he's a kid with talent, new to the Pitt offense, and I'm sure they'd love to have started Pickett instead. I'm not...

Yeah, I mentioned this earlier in the thread. Not sure how much blame falls on King, and how much on Lashlee. But where King seemed to make every decision perfectly in the first couple of games, the last couple of games have looked horrific when it comes to the decision to hand-off or keep it.

I don't know if I'd call Joey Yellen "a pretty bad QB". He was recruited to Arizona State by ROB LIKENS and had a couple of decent offers, including UGa. He transferred to Pitt after leaving Arizona State. But I agree with you that Pickett would have presented the greater challenge, though we...

Not disagreeing with you. Your facts are correct. We may draw slightly different conclusions at times, but I try not to get too high or too low on my Canes. With Covid, King missed a ton of time to build his timing with WRs on the long ball. Not sure if they can do some extra-curricular...
