Pitt opens as 10 point favorite

[Stats02]

Our defense is terrible tho.. like how did we get this bad.. we cant tackle for ****, no pass rush, blitzes have no affect, ugh..

Yes, our defense is abysmal. NCST still gashed us big time yesterday. Ran it pretty successfully against us. Wide open receivers all night. Our 3rd down defense was the surprise last night. They were only 3-14 on 3rd down. All other P5 teams we played have been right at 50% or better converting 3rd downs.

We also were fortunate with some key dropped passes. Our tackling was also better than it has been. Maybe we aren’t the worst tackling team in the nation now.

If we were able to win last night, then we have a chance against Pitt, even with our incompetent DC. I’m hoping Pitt comes out flat and unfocused. Probably wishful thinking.

Ran it? They had 72 rushing yards on 21 traditional carries. They had 40 rushing yards on the fake punt.

 

[Handsome Squidbum]

Bigger spread than I thought there’d be

Id bet on UGA, Ohio St, and Michigan to cover. I think Pitt demolishes UM (will be like Goldens Clemson game) but can't bet against UM.

I didn’t say they ran it down our throats, but they did have some success. Much better than our 2.5 yds per carry. I saw several times where we had them stopped in the backfield for a loss and they muscled thru our d-line and linebackers for positive gains. Yeah, that fake punt skewed the numbers, but it counts, unfortunately. We weren’t prepared for it and they made it look easy.

Bet the house on Miami, easy money.

Diaz has made a career of losing ATS but has won the last 2. Odd times imo.

They couldn’t run for **** against us.

11.5 at MGM

 

[Us Against The World]

Kenny Pickett seals his Heisman campaign this week imo. Career #s.

 

[PIPO]

Spreads for the last 3 games have confused the **** out of me.

Yes and somehow they have been spot on which means - this is the week!!!! (I hope)!!

 

[PIPO]

Of course Jordan Addison gets a concussion, just in time to save Diaz another week.

Yeah they didn't run the ball well against us. They have arguably the best RB duo in the league.

Again, they didn’t have their best rushing game against us like most teams. They had over 100+ yds for 5.0 avg with 1 rushing TD. That’s having a little success against us. Seemed like the 2nd half they were starting to run over our guys, but they threw it more. Our d-stepped up on some big plays and definitely played better against the run, but let’s not act like our D completely dominated them.

The stars are aligning. So stupid not to fire him two weeks ago and give Blake some room to try to politic his way out of this.

Can't fire the coach for probable Coastal champs.... 8-4, Coastal, Orange Bowl.... LFG!!!

We never learn. This team will be .500 at best.

 

[caneworld]

The NC state game caught their attention...

I think Pitt will be ready.... look for long bombs over our secondary. Expecting a Jacory type long ball in the first series.. ...Whipple special.

If Lashlee just lets TVD play free without conservative calls, we could be in for an entertaining slugfest.

 

[AllAboutDaU]

-10 seems like easy money. Manny Diaz run team probably thinks they won the Super Bowl and will come in thinking they’re the 01 team.

Is he out?

 

[Brains]

We come out flat, go down 35-0, before making a slow but steady comeback, then blowing three straight drives with turnovers to lose 35-31.

 

[PIPO]

Is he out?

Not sure yet but he didn’t return in yesterday’s game.
