POV: Pitt vs Penn State Game Thread

“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.

HTP !!!

  286. 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.

  290. Just saw some highlights.

No TD after the punt return last week…and most of you are watching this game.

    All in all a semi decent effort via superior PSU team. Keep playing at this level and you are looking at 2-10. No chance vs Ok State. Maybe a shot at Ga Tech. Probably 1-3.

    A PITT game thread for and to me is open season. The day to let out all your thoughts, opinions, and stupidity. The thing is, I just have to wonder sometimes if all the posters are actually PITT fans?

    Too many mistakes today considering PITT couldn’t afford to make any more than one or two. Dropped passes, penalties and dumb decisions. Not to mention missed blocks and misuse of time-outs.

    This is the criteria of a game I look more closely at than the score early on in the season. It’s the purer definition of the term, TEAM. PITT needs to tighten up the team for next week and especially the week after at GT! ….

  623. Saquon Barkley is the real deal. Tiny McSorley isn’t. Max Browne has a better chance at the combine; the receivers he will be throwing to at the combine will CATCH the ball. If Quadree Henderson has an average game; we have a game today boys and girls. Alabama beats the Nitters by 17; 24 if Saban is in a bad mood. I do agree however that the biggest need on Pitt’s team isn’t players; it is position coaches.

  624. Franco was a bust for his continued support of Poopy Pants. And bust as a decent human being. As a player he always looked to the sideline as a way out. Just like Joe looked the other way.

  625. As you watch the rest of the college games today… note… how many recievers you see running wide open. I think you’ll find 0-2 in any game. Pitt had 5 today and 13 last week. That’s inexcusable. That’s coaching!’

  626. Ike there is no set definition of a Pitt fan except that we love Pitt football. We have different standards we hold Pitt to and vastly different ways of expressing it, some serious, some rah rah, some cynical, some funny. We all think we know it all (actually I am the only infallible one haha). WADR you dont get to define what a Pitt fan is.
    In the PG yesterday a former pedo player admitted that this was a rivalry and Ped State really has no rivalry in the big. We dont’ have much of a rivalry in ACC but VT could become one. Last year and this year were indeed two record crowds but their AD wont play us till 2026 at the earliest and they are off to play GA STate. The NCAA has to ban everyone from playoffs that plays FCS.teams. In fact if you are in P5 you should not make playoffs unless you play only P5 schools. But money rules
    After today IMO Peds are overrated in spite having more 4stars, tOSU and Mich should kill them. I still stick to my 7-6 for Pitt.. The defense played its best game in a long time but we still lost. Why IMO 1) we lack fewer impact players and our two on offense sucked today 2) the DL improved and will get there but still does need experience only games provide 3) We sucked in the red zone which was on Watson and Browne to a lesser extent

      1. Haven’t you heard….the local media claims we play too many cupcakes. Of course they never complained that Crappants played 3-4 every year and all at home.

  631. Oh and I agree with you RKB whole heartily.

    Franco sucks, I can’t stand the enabler

    OSU is really good

    PITT beats OSU

    Upitt: I commented above “Too many mistakes today considering PITT couldn’t afford to make any more than one or two. Dropped passes, penalties and dumb decisions. Not to mention missed blocks and misuse of time-outs.”

    How is that being a homer?
