OK – Monday morning after a nice win against Georgia Tech by a close score of 37-34 on a last play of the game FG by Chris Blewitt… a reprisal of what he did against the Yellow Jackets in 2015.
One of the nice things is that all Pitt fans seemed to like the Throwback uniforms the players wore. In what was supposed to be a recognition back to the 1976 championship team we wore these out there: “
“THROWBACK FRENZY
The Panthers wore vintage blue-and-gold jerseys in a nod to the program’s glory days of the 1970s and had Johnny Majors, the coach when Pitt won the 1976 national title, serve as honorary captain. As sharp as Pitt looked, however, Narduzzi made sure style didn’t trump substance.”
However what those had to do with the actual 1976 uniforms(right) eludes me but the thing is everyone seemed to appreciate them and hopefully Pitt is making some extra money on apparel sales.
So – onto the game. Here are my three positives (first because we won) and then I’ll list my three negatives.
POSITIVES:
* We stuck it out and came from behind to win a close game which is something we failed to do against OSU and North Carolina. We held a 27-20 lead going into the 4th quarter and promptly lost it on a 45 yard run by the GT RB and then five minutes later on a shorter drive that put the score at 34-27.
