Official PSU - Pitt Game Thread

[masterbaker65]

Last year I was often frustrated by Marcus Allen's tackling. Not this year! The guy is as good as it gets.

 

[m.knox]

Last safety we had was scored by Devon Still.....

Thanks for that tidbit Marbles.

Great kid.... Still.

 

[PSUcup1]

Great play Marcus

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Maybe, but pitt has played with more urgency.

Not more urgency.....but certainly more intensity!

 

[Phil's Rug]

Nice return by Barkley, and tack on another 15 yards

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Barkley with a nice return, and then a little thuggery by Pitt OOB after the tackle

 

[Ranger Dan]

Who played on the O and D line last year?

Our skill guys are likely as good as any in the country, but our O line is not dominant like other big time programs (yet), and our D line is tanented, but not stout enough to hold their ground against good O lines.

One symptom of running these types of offenses is that you lose physicality for finesse and it usually bleeds over to the defense.

With no grinding it out in practice, your defense doesn't get acclimated to it until game time.

ABC broadcast would piss me off if I was a Pitt fan,

Pitt has played well, they are under manned and entire broadcast has been pro PSU.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Tommy Stevens in, and gets a pass thrown to him.

 

[Ranger Dan]

It would be great to see Barkley run one in for another td

 

[Tom McAndrew]

geez, what was that pass on 3rd & 3?

 

[Phil's Rug]

Fg good! 33-14

 

[Tom McAndrew]

FG good, so it's 33-14, PSU

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Run it on third down, keep the clock going.

 

[AWS1022]

geez, what was that pass on 3rd & 3?

That was bad.

 

[Rollin Stone]

You know when it boils down to it. Good teams find a way to win ugly.

It didn't look pretty and we would have liked to see some things sharper but we got it done.

I'll take an ugly win. Not happy about it but I'll take it.

I was wondering earlier today whether the people who griped and moaned about Herbie being a homer for talking up tOSU would do the same when Blacklege called the Penn State game. They are both huge national brands and ranked in the top five ( not sure whether penn state will drop after this game), so it's natural to talk about their strengths and potential for glory.

Run it on third down, keep the clock going.

Yep. Really seems like Moorhead read his press clippings before this one. No idea what we were trying to accomplish on offense.

Ill take a win also, but this performance makes me question our ranking..

 

[Phil's Rug]

109,898 announced atendance

 

[Yboby]

Lot's of work needed on both sides of the ball.

The XM radio broadcast was all Pitt. I had to speed to get home so I didn't have to listen much longer.

 

[Ranger Dan]

Run it on third down, keep the clock going.

If only we had a decent RB to give the ball to on that third down...

 

[Phil's Rug]

And shovel pass go...

 

[mrtailgate]

109,898. Big number.

Bookies just breathed easier.

Is this a Pitt moral victory?

 

[fairgambit]

I like the game plan. Not showing too much before the Georgia State game.

 

[Lion Lineage]

109,898 (or something like that). That's like an entire season's home game .attendance for sPitt.

 

[marisa45]

Man has this offense stopped itself all game. Terrible game from the offense.....QB and Playcalling top 2 culprits. Joe Mo and Trace did not have good games, frustration on both of their parts. Thank God for 26. Pretty much bailed out the whole offense.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

incomplete on 3rd down. Pitt going for it on 4th & 4 on their own 31?

 

[Phil's Rug]

Come on D, 4th down stop

 

[PennSt8er]

It's a W. no serious injuries. Time to move forward

 

[psrurock]

Last coaches made quicker adjustments in game

 

[PSU Soupy]

A little adversity is good for PSU.


Shaka slowed upon the 4th down play.

 

[PSUcup1]

Their center is offside every play

 

[PennStateNate]

Pitt plays this QB the rest of their season, they probably win more games then they would playing Browne.

Beat a P5 team by 20....PSU will not drop in the polls. Were never threatened all day had a comfortable lead of at least 2 scores most of the day. Now did PSU plat well....def. NO

 

[PSU Soupy]

Dinuccibetter than Brown.
