There were a lot of predictions made yesterday for this evening’s game and I believe I saw only one or two for the Thundering Herd, who BTW up until 1965 were also called the Boogercats, Big Green, Green Gobblers, Rams, and the Judges.
Anyway The Boogercats’ starting QB returns for this game and unless he’s a complete moron will throw for 1,000 yards against us. It may not even happen because he’s that good – although he is a good passer. It most probably will be because we just don’t have the problems in our defensive backfield worked out yet. Apparently FR Damar Hamlin is back from the dead but I don’t put a lot of stock in true FR – but then again he’s replacing someone, anyone, who has thoroughly failed at their job multiple time already this year.
And of course it may not happen at all. If we hold them to under 200 yards passing I’ll be at the Shrine of St. Francis when the bell tolls midnight sacrificing a neighbor’s ferret. I’d kill his dog but people would notice.
I have worried about this game for some time now – I’m not a “Johnny come lately” worrier. As I wrote yesterday Marshall has had a great recent history and their coach Doc Holiday knows how to win games against ‘better’ opponents. Each year it seems like Marshall bounces up out of nowhere and pulls an upset.
I’ll be watching for a emphasis on the passing game in the first half. If there is a game to try to get it back on track it is this one. The Green Gobblers are currently ranked #66 in Rushing Defense at 151 yards per game so we should be able to get up and down the field relying on only running the ball if necessary to do so. But I think it is imperative to try to build Peterman’s confidence up for the future ACC schedule.
If he can’t hack it tonight he probably won’t against any other teams on our schedule so if he’s to be pulled than Canada needs to make a decisive move and stick with it. And that means Stocker – he’s a better player than most fans think.
Marshall runs for only 160 ypg so we’ll shut that down, but my gut also tells me they will break a big run or two and put points on the board that way this evening. We haven’t seen any of those by our opponents so far this season so let’s watch out for that.
The game is at Heinz and is being played in the upper 60s temperature with virtually no wind to speak of and looks like it will be dry also. Have fun at the game – I’m sitting this game and travel to and fro out this week so I’ll be on this thread- and as always be careful about getting behind the wheel. Nothing is worth that sort of problem when you can either take a cab or toss your keys to a friend.
Final diagnosis: I see a Pitt win over the Marshall Rams, er… Big Green… uh… Thundering Herd!

Catch some highlights of the North Carolina vs. Florida State game, and see why it’s definitely a good idea for Offensive Coordinators to incorporate in those Quick Wide Receiver Screens.
It’s a really good play to force defenders to make a play way out “in space” where it’s one-on-one where the wide-out can cut either way, it opens up the defense, and sometimes, those plays absolutely do go big!! North Carolina just scored a huge touchdown on a seemingly nonchalant quick Wide Receiver screen —- to their #4 ex walk-on wide-out, no less.
Quadree Henderson AND Jester Weah should both be getting these often (and they’re not, get creative @Matt Canada!). Great opportunity for yards after the catch from genuinely athletic receivers, and it will build Nathan Peterman’s confidence (and stats 🙂 haha).

He’s a better thrower than Voytik was, yet a lot of his stat lines look similar. Its because this was a huge knock on Voytik. Peterman’s better throwing ability leads to more efficiency, but the end result looks very similar

Yes, we were underdogs and coming into the season knew they’d be tough games. So we were predicted to lose the week of… BUT, a lot of people picked us as possible ACC Coastal champs. The OSU game doesn’t really matter, but the UNC one did.
Why is us being picked to lose that week taking supremacy over being picked all preseason and during the season up to that point as potential Coastal contenders??? That is why I am not OK with that loss… and now with them beating FSU we really killed our own chances.
The overreaction of calling for every coach to be fired is stupid. I am not that upset. But I am not ok with losing two games we could have easily won. Losing to UNC satisfied the score line for the game, but went against our odds of being coastal champs.

Jester Weah absolutely shoulda-caught that PERFECT deep ball from Nathan Peterman early in the game, for sure — but Nate P. luckily did not give-up on his 6’3” , 215 lb. guy and just kept going to him 🙂 .
Nathan Peterman made a believer outta-me, he looked really good. But he’s gotta keep growing and he needs to KEEP LEARNING to make those deep, CONTESTED throws out-deep to the wide receivers.
Does Pitt win today without Nathan Peterman throwing the deep-ball to the wide receiver, where the wide-out has a chance to catch it over the opposing corner??? —- Whether it’s Marshall, or Ohio State / Alabama / (now with Jim Harbaugh, lol) Michigan, Whoever —- QB’s have to successfully throw THAT BALL to win games 🙂 .

The crowd was not as good as the TV apparently made it look from your comments. There were three whole sections in upper deck home side that had 10 people in them. If not for 8 to 10 K Herd (and WVU fans – sat next to one and not bad for a Hoopie). That crowd could not have exceeded 46 K minus 8 is 38 K Pitt, pitiful. Speaking of pitiful do Webb, Lewis and Maddox have pictures of Nard and Franklin fffrenching? Nate was finally given a chance to throw more than 5 yards to a running back; he is the least of our worries. Play that bad on defense next week and it will be a sad homecoming.
