“The time has come for us to consider seriously how to change our way of life not through prayer or religious teaching, but through education. ” – The Dali Llama (Pitt ’50)
… or football because after all isn’t that why Universities exist? Well, at least today that’s true and starting at 3:30 EST.
Friday we had our Pitt – PSU predictions article – now let’s watch the game and see how close we come to or scores. Let’s hope we can keep it close going into the 4th quarter then Returner Henderson and Kicker Kessler blow-up and win the game for us.
I comfort myself by repeating my mantra: “The game is more about PN than me.” It really works. Sort of.

I agree with you guys. After the first 3 possessions i was afraid we’d be going into halftime down by 28 points.

Seems like a weapon that is not being used.

BigB, the halftime stats will be coming up shortly, they will of course lie to a degree. Barkley running and McSorely passing basically shut down. The score doesn’t lie though.

Our downfield passing game is pathetic. If we can get anything going more than 10 yds downfield we have a chance. But realistically I think they get to 28 at least which means we have to score 26+ in second half to win. Hmmm

Technically Browne floated a pass for an opening drive INT. Technically PITT did have poor coverage on a wheel route that went for a touchdown. However, the trend of concern carrying over from game #1 so far seems to be red zone inefficiency. OR, as comments have addressed, red zone play calling. No TD after the punt return last week…and most of you are watching this game.
