Bama-Wisconsin...and other games

[LandoComando]

Strike two. I never said 2014. Fickel was not even a HC until 2017. He was coach of the year in 2021. 13-1 at Cincy. . You can do a search on this board and a lot of people wanted him.

I didn't say you did say 2014. Fickel was Ohio State's coach in 2011 or did you forget.
So--after Franklin sucked for 2 years and went 11-10 some people wanted a guy that just won coach of the year? Shocking that people who don't really watch football other than Penn State football would want the coach of the year. Why are you even making that somewhat of an issue?

 

[LandoComando]

Pitt-WVU might be a 42-38 type game at this point. Defense is MIA

 

[LandoComando]

Greene being Greene today--consistently high--finally cost him

 

[m.knox]

I have the Pitt WVU game on. I so dislike each team that I'm ready to watch Leave It To Beaver reruns...........

It would be nice if WVU wins because their after they play Kansas next week they have 4 tougher games.

He's best when he makes things happen with his legs. For some reason he's being kept in the pocket this year.

 

[GSPMax]

Nice call by the nard.

Pitt really helped them there with that decision to go on 4th down
And, yeah, I have no idea if Pitt is doing what we did and just forcing Greene to stay in the pocket or if Brown thinks this is a smart game plan

Have it on in the background as I clean up my honey-do list. Every time I wander by WVU is getting flagged. Must be 10 penalties so far in the first half.

WVU has 3 for 30
Pitt has 5 for 45

They did throw 2 targeting flags they had to review and overturned both so I guess 10 total flags

17-17

Both teams are just bad. Game isn’t even sold out for this “big rivalry”. West Va is not very good (at least not as respectable as I thought they were at the PSU game).

 

[LandoComando]

Jesus ND just flatout decided to embarrass Purdue
Washington losing to Wazzu by 4
Oregon up 8 on Oregon State
Iowa struggling with Troy early

 

[LandoComando]

Preseason top 10 teams to start 0-3...6 teams all time. Penn State on their twice 83 and 2020. That's...disappointing

 

[Delcolion915]

Neither team is "bad". Both teams are 7-5, 8-4 type teams.

 

[LandoComando]

They're not good teams. At best they're average
8-4 or 7-5 isn't impressive. You beat an FCS team then a bunch of other teams that can't win more than 7 games because they also play a weak schedule. See WVU last year.

 

[lazydave841]

Brown bought into the hype. He's calling the plays.

OL isn't as good as last year. That has an effect too.

Greene probably did too (buy into the hype). Use your legs, if it's available (I've not seen anything of today's game to know)

 

[LandoComando]

Brown said Greene needs to be more accurate at the half...imagine that

 

[b&w1987]

Wow. First WVU punter runs for 1st then Pitt blocks the next punt and scores.

 

[Delcolion915]

Well 😂...WVU doing what PSU opponents usually do after playing us ... losing and making us look worse.

They're probably better than Arkansas State tho

 

[jmorovich]

An absolute hilarious sequence of events. WVU with the unintended fake punt because Pitt forgot to play defense. Then WVU throws a TD that’s called back for holding, and then they forget to block a Pitt player on the punt and he blocks it and they scoop and score. A comedy of blunders

 

[LandoComando]

I don't like Pitt or WVU. WVU winning is good because we beat them but the hype around them was do ridiculous it's tough not to want that proven lol

 

[psu00]

Respectfully disagree. So far today, they are both looking pretty bad.

 

[Delcolion915]

It doesn't matter or make WVU a great team or anything...but that's not holding. That was a Pitt homer call

 

[bcspsu]

The team recovered in 1983 and beat Washington in a bowl game, and 2020 was the Covid year that I frankly dismiss. By the way, after winning the NC in 1982 and losing so many great players, the 1983 team never should’ve been preseason top 10.

I agree with you about 83. It wasn't realistic in that era just to reload or at least wasn't expected

 

[bcspsu]

It was similar to Michigan this season; they had no business being a preseason top 10 team.

 

[jmorovich]

Because it’s Pitt. One of my favorite PSU pics

 

[bvillebaron]

Castellanos is just confused right now--it's too fast for him to process. He's not good at going through progressions. I think O'Brien is about to kill him lol

Doesn’t O’Brien have the authority to overrule him? Isn’t it always Franklin’s fault when the offensive play calling is poor?

The playcalling wasn't bad. The decision was.

I forgot; it’s BOB.

 

[jmorovich]

Anyone see that lady wearing the “Penn State Sucks but…” shirt. Would love to see the back and what it says about Pitt.

That’s why college football is great.

 

[LandoComando]

Pitt's offense with the same inability to run on short yardage because they're in the shotgun

 

[LandoComando]

I forgot; it’s BOB.

I don't even know what that means...as I asked the other one--when is the last time I've criticized Franklin for anything other than his record against great/elite teams? The opener against Purdue?

 

[ryoder1]

Florida looks horrible and down 20-0 at home vs A&M. Something like 78 yards of offense and only 19 plays. Does Napier make it through this season?

Update- Florida got a TD so maybe they will show a pulse this half.

 

[LandoComando]

Pitt tried to copy our blueprint defensively but got greedy--their guys started trying to get to Greene instead just forcing him to make throws.

 

[LandoComando]

Washington is in a lot of trouble against Wazzu

 

[AWS1022]

I wonder if WVU fans are going to complain about that dude pushing off as much as they complained about Evans doing it.

No--fans only complain about calls that go against them--see our board lol

Did you see the FL defender get thrown out for targeting? He hit the receiver in the ass cheek. How pathetic.
