  2. Reports from stadium say that both Izzy and Stovall are suited up and moving about without a problem. Peak reports Izzy has been promoted so I assume that means he may be starting.

  3. Watching UGA/ALA. If we can’t get more QB pressure than Ga has all night, we’ll suffer the same fate as Ga.

    Gotta hit him every chance we get. Especially on RPOs when he hands off the ball.

  5. Watching the Huddle on ACCN. Says izzy has a hamstring and will not return kicks.

    Also they referred to Wake’s AJ Perry as “Push-off” Perry. 🤔

  8. Pitt wins first set 25-22. Pitt and PSU both used all their timeouts. It was a close set the entire way. Member-Meneh leading the team in kills.

  13. BTW,,, white jerseys and yellow pants. This combination has always been good for Pitt.

    Except for that one game at State College where the decision was to kick a field goal instead of scoring a touchdown.

    Other than that… pretty much ALWAYS good.

  18. Penn State wins second set, 23-25. Pitt made too many errors! Need to clean up the unforced errors to win this match.

  19. The mo is not on Pitt’s side tonight.

    Come on FB team, be ready to play on the opening kick off. No let down, period. Play hard to the final whistle.

  40. The defense better show more than they have so far. Two major penalties on that drive and another secondary lapse. If Kancey is out for long it could be a real problem.

  47. Well, we wondered how we left their guy wide open…..but, our guy was more wide open on that td!

    The over under may be in jeopardy by halftime if neither teams defense shows up. We haven’t even targeted our best wr yet! Good catch and run by Hammond. Still say he is our top back, followed by izzy.

    Get your calculators out folks……..

  103. 5 penalties against Pitt in 1 quarter for 55 yards….1 against Wake for 5 yards….at this rate we’ll have over 200 yards of penalties.

  106. The only stop will be when Pitt commits to running the ball. Kenny is hurt and will struggle the rest of the way. The run game can win this game. W_F has not stopped Pitt’s run yet. Then again, Wake’s O is having their way with our D in every way possible…

      2. why would we look for a pass interference call? Not even close to getting a call because nothing happened there. it was a poor pass and bad call to go for broke on 4th and 1!

        i am good with going for 4th and 1, just not a fan of the call

  124. Kenny does not look good on the last 3 series. Pitt hasn’t scored on the last 3 series. The few times Pitt ran the ball today it has been positive yardage except once.

  183. Halftime thoughts

    1. Missed end of first quarter and beginning of 2nd putting kids to bed. #priortieshurt
    2. Pickett looks to be somewhat off…and as a result I’d give our offense a B so far. And we are winning
    3. If we can keep getting pressure on Hartman we’ve got a shot at this thing

    H2P. Let’s goooooooo!!!

  190. It’s an impressive 24-21 lead at the half. Especially considering a few of the non-calls.
    Thought Pitt did a really good job of keeping focused and ignoring the refs and played pretty solid hard nosed football all around after going down 21-14.

  191. it’s a controlled, disciplined pressure on hartman. he uses his legs to make passes where our guy uses his legs to get rushing yards. Both are effective unless the DL stays in their rush lanes and contains their guy.

  196. I didn’t really see any bad ref calls. The only questionable one was against Hallett I think, but that one could have gone either way. WF has more penalties against….

    We mismanaged the clock better than they did.

    We are winning! Game has a weird flow. Looks like we traveled well for this game. Would be great to win the tv viewership race too.

    Pitt has stopped Wake Forest’s last two drives with good pass defense and pressure on the QB
    Pitt has also stopped Pitt’s last two drives with a bad snap and a dropped pass.

    I think the point is don’t go to the sun bowl and bbva bowl. This is why you schedule easy ooc and get some luck with a down coastal and acc, hence the two best teams ranked at 15 and 16.

    Thanks PITT, I really didn’t want to sit through another nail-biter.

    Pat Narduzzi takes his place in the PITT Panther lore and PITT history books.

    KP should have taught us all a lesson in life. Keep your head down to the grindstone and never give up and you’ll get there. Blessed to be here and be a part of PITT history.
