I dont think Pitt has an above average defense in regards to D1 football.Being able to objectively and dispassionately identify givens and root causes is a super power.
Sub-par OL is a given. With that firmly established, what can be done (if anything) to meet the challenge of jailbreak blitzing?
Are the WRs also being exposed as sub-par?
Can they not outcompete on the instant slants or bubble screens?
Is it King's split second decision making on the give vs. keep?
It appeared several broke plays could have been big runs for King if only he kept the ball--VERY EASY for me to say because I don't have a 250lb athlete bearing down on me--my comment isn't a crticism, just observation.
Another brutal reality--Miami doesn't have all the pieces in place for a consistent long pass game. How does Lashlee keep moving the chains against above average Ds?
These HOWs on Saturday will show us where our Canes program is and what direction its headed.
I do not even believe there is another in the ACC for that matter.
I say if we clean it up, even just a little, when it comes to the penalties, we will win the rest of our games, with the UNC game being the deciding factor for the ACC championship, hopefully. With the deciding factor being that we are ranked higher, than Notre Dame.....
