Another poster noted how many Pitt players were hit but wriggled and bounced their way to another 3-4-5 or more yards before going down. Good for them? Or Bad for us?

I agree, and will keep an eye on how this goes as the season progresses. Or how much it diminishes.

But considering the scoring D ( yielding just 1 TD in two games), its hard to be too disappointed in these guys. They appear well on their way to improving their scoring defense/NCAA (defensive) ranking year over year. Certainly its much improved year over year to date.

The second area still being addressed is pressure/sacks/TFLs on opposing QBs/RBs.
