@PittsburghTiger, prediction?

Also, I saw the Pitt campus for the first time when I was up for the WVU game. Really liked it! I'm a sucker for a good urban campus, and Oakland seemed like a fun hood.

This is the only game this year that I will not attend. It's taken too long to get the running game going this year. We lost four offensive linemen, two 1,000-yard rushers and a damn good fullback from last year's offense.

On the plus side we fired horrible Shawn Watson and replaced him with Mark Whipple, a huge upgrade. Last year we couldn't pass to save our lives and this year we can't run.

The defensive line lost its two best linemen, the first in camp and the second in the opener. The kids making plays now are freshmen, redshirt freshmen and sophomores, etc. It's a young team.I think you all will enjoy how aggressive the defensive front has become.

One bad part of being a young team has been the tendency to take some really dumb penalties.

If we can avoid penalties, and turnovers, we should be okay. But of course that works for every team.

Pitt's campus is not awful, for a slightly urban campus. Space it tight and there is way too much traffic. But I liked it. The Cathedral of Learning (my avatar pic) is my favorite building in the world.

I went to a city school with a small campus too - I like that getting around is easy and you see everyone all the time, while still feeling like a part of the city.

Offense seems to be humming! Dammit I jinxed it

Come on, let's get another first down

ugh, but we get 3 points.

Based on how toothless Cuse has looked, it might be game over

[PittsburghTiger 6139]

Damn, these uniforms look good.

Fuck Steve Peterson in the ear for his shitastic uniform change in 1997.

[PittsburghTiger 6139]

Shit, now Kenny is banged up.

[PittsburghTiger 6139]

I'm glad the kids decided to vote for helmet stickers.

Fuck, come on, terrible turnover!

[texifornia 56561]

o no pitt no

And yes these uniforms are fucking phenomenal

[texifornia 56561]

Lol wtf was Cuse even going for there. But it worked.

[texifornia 56561]

What the hell is this Jardiance pharma ad, I don't want to hear the phrase "infection of the perineum" when I'm watching football or, you know, ever. Is it a metaphor for non-Clemson ACC football?

[texifornia 56561]

Lol the refs fucked up literally every part of the play including what down it is. Amazing.

Just more evidence that Steve Peterson should be beaten with a stick.

[texifornia 56561]

Aw dang it. The play was too cool to live.

Nevermind! TD Pitt!

Matthews was a teammate of Tyler Boyd in high school

[PittsburghTiger 6139]

Now the defense has to hold!

[PittsburghTiger 6139]

[PittsburghTiger 6139]

[PittsburghTiger 6139]

This ref crew is a fucking clown show - after the play, lol. That was a cool tackle/bodyslam, but yeah probably not legal.

defensive lineman was tackled on the field goal.

Babers seems like a good dude but his OL is yiiiiiiiiikes

I have a buddy who played for Syracuse and he has met him and likes him.

Learned the Briles offense and then got the fuck out of Dodge before the morally questionable gunk got on him. Smart man.

[PittsburghTiger 6139]

I'd like to see a bit more getting guys running into the open field. Not as much slamming into a wall, over & over.

[texifornia 56561]

Poor Devito is getting eaten alive.

[PittsburghTiger 6139]

like i said, young aggressive defensive front

[Bullneck 19026]

I had no idea either of these teams were in the ACC.  

[texifornia 56561]

Soooo it's not going so good for cuse

[texifornia 56561]

Yeah I'm pretty happy I don't get BTN

someone has to check out the conference realignment thread.

That said, I'm a Pitt score away from watching Mission Impossible Fallout again. That movie kicks enormous amounts of ass.

Hoooooly shit. It might just be a game.

Catholic basketball schools. And soon to be UConn.

Welsh is a Chico kid! Home of California's lowkey best party school. They go HARD.

I really don't get what's going on with Syracuse. When Babers left Bowling Green for the job I figured 4 years in and with a different and exciting brand of ball he'd be king of the North and be regularly challenging Clem but it just hasn't happened. He's in a really good recruiting position with lots of good talent available and the school isn't devoid of football history. They've shown flashes at times but just can't seem to get over the hump. And he is a decent human being unlike one of his mentors.
