Pitt @ Tennessee 11am ESPN

[WBT 20422]

Pitt with some GD-style sideways passing goes 3 and out on their first drive

[WBT 20422]

And Tenn blocks the punt.  1st and goal from the 2.

[WBT 20422]

#14 that blocked it came unblocked straight up the gut.  The way punt formations are so spread out these days, I don't know why you don't see more of that.  It doesn't seem very sound to me.

And Tenn punches it in for the TD.

holy shit this fucking Tenn QB cant fucking throw the ball for shit.

 

I mean he can THROW the ball, but he cant hit a wideopen receiver.   He keeps overthrowing them by 8-12 yards.  its not even CLOSE

[AUS-97HORN 11682]

lol at announcer..

 

THEY WONT CATCH HIM!

 

  literally .25 seconds later, they caught him. 

[trza-hawk 269]

Yes!

[Bullneck 18987]

Pitt just ran a fleaflicker and pulled ahead 14-13.

[Bullneck 18987]

Tenn QB may have fumbled on the sack. 

[WBT 20422]

TD Pitt.  3 minutes wasted on a review for some reason.  19 seconds left in the half and they pull ahead 27-20.

[Underdog 28457]

So glad Pitt went back to those color schemes. 

[GhostOfTomJoad 9308]

Pitt forces a fumble by Tennessee to start the 3rd.

[Bullneck 18987]

Another Pitt TD.  41-27 with 12 minutes left.

[ousux 5587]

SEC is an absolute shitshow outside Bama/Georgia..and whoever steps up for 3rd place.

[WBT 20422]

Tenn just bailed out with a defensive PI call on what should have been offensive PI

[WBT 20422]

Pitt stuff them on 4th and 1 inside the Pitt 5.  41-34 Pitt with ~7 minutes left.

[WBT 20422]

Pitt gets it back on an INT.  Now about 5 minutes left and Tennessee only has 1 timeout.

[WBT 20422]

Pitt wins it 41-34.  TheySposedtobeSEC.jpg

I just don't understand Mark Whipple and his play calling to start games, and coming out of halftime. The side to side stuff is such crap, especially when we have a QB that can throw the ball down the field. As the game wore on we did throw down the field, and it worked.

The kids deserve credit for withstanding the early onslaught. Tennessee made some big plays, Pitt made more. The lack of a running game is frustrating. I am not certain that it is just an unwillingness, or lack of interest, to run the ball with power. When the clock needed run down at the end our backs did move the sticks running.

It was not a perfect game but, it was a win. The defense gets after the QB, five sacks today, a couple fumble recoveries and an INT, plus, a 4th down stop from the one. 

We have a chance to pretty good, not great but, pretty good.

Last week before the game in the booth the AD was there, along with the fellow who gave the $20-million donation, and I made sure to mention to the fellow about how beautiful our uniforms look in the light of day, and wondered why we would ever make a change. I made sure to be loud enough for the AD to hear me.
