FC: Pitt suspensions

[bplionfan]

PITTSBURGH—Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi announced disciplinary actions for four players prior to the Panthers' opening of training camp on August 1.

Senior defensive end Rori Blair has been dismissed from the program for "conduct detrimental to the program."
Junior offensive tackle Alex Bookser will be suspended for the season opener for his involvement in an offseason legal situation involving a motor vehicle.
Senior linebacker Quintin Wirginis and junior safety Jordan Whitehead will both be suspended for the opening three games of the season for violation of team policy.

 

[Obliviax]

credit to them for suspending Whitehead for our game.

 

[ThePennsyOracle]

Great. Now they have an excuse when we trounce them.

 

[Kmase21]

Idk what the other 3 did, but the guy that got one game drove his car into a building on camera while being chased by police. So, yeah.

Going to need to bring in some more transfers..

 

[PSUzu]

That's a priceless tweet.

Most of us knew it was going to be a loss going to Penn state. Then someone was dumb enough to agree to play Oklahoma State the week after. Then Georgia Tech after that. Pitt will be 1-3 after 4 weeks and that will probably sink the season marking a giant step back for Narduzzi.

Honestly, I don't think it makes much of a difference for our game with them. Just funny. Karma for being such a-holes about everything Penn State.

Pitt AD just ordered 3 digit scoreboard for PSU game ....

in FitBit terms, Whitehead just lost about 25,000 steps by missing the PSU game. I was looking forward to watching him chase the Nits receivers.

Bookser only getting 1 game for what he did is a joke

 

[Jakey_John]

There was a guy on here several weeks ago that said something along of the lines that there would be big news regarding Pitt in the coming weeks and it wasn't good. That guy knew.

The other two must have overdue library books.

Years ago someone else on here quipped about hearing Todd Graham to ASU weeks before there was any smoke. It's not called "the all knowing board" for nothing.

When the grades are reported for the fall semester.

 

[Alphabets]

Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Pitt. Lol.

 

[ChiTownLion]

Stay focused.

Great. Now they have an excuse when we trounce them.

Don't forget that we too will be playing without our best defensive back.

 

[LemonEars]

What did Whitehead do to get suspended for our game? Must have been mass murder or providing nuclear weapons to the Iranians. Otherwise, the would have gotten depth chart justice, like Bookser did.

 

[step.eng69]

nice cat, does it bite?

 

[YorkCoLion]

What happened to Marcus Allen?

 

[Fox Chapel Lion II]

That's too bad. I never like to see any ballplayer get himself jammed up. You have such a tremendous opportunity - why eff it up?

Wirginis was going to be a starting LB. He's no all-American but he can play some. I don't know anything about Blair. Bookser is a very, very good player, he'll be back against us. He'll be a mainstay on their OL. When they MUST get a first down running it, you can sell out that they will run over Bookser's side. Whitehead might be the best athlete of all of them and Pitt also used him a lot on offense, lined up at WR or running their jet sweep.

That's two very big puzzle pieces that just fell on the floor.

We're going to see defensive holding on just about every play and have Narduzzi complaining that it's our receivers fault. Hopefully they have EMTs standing by for when he bursts a few blood vessels. Pitt should have at least 200 penalty yards come September 9th.

 

[PSUoh90]

What happened to Marcus Allen?

Love Marcus. He's more of the big hit, big play kind of guy. But, I don't think there's a more reliable, consistent guy on the defensive side of the ball than John Reid, and I've said it on this board before he got hurt.

 

[BobPSU92]

Please take this opportunity to remember that Penn State has a culture problem.

That Virginia Tech game was about the jokiest exhibition I ever saw.

Pitt's defensive backs were not very good at all last year. But why would you make them play press-man when it's obvious they have no ability to do it? A coach is supposed to design a scheme that HELPS his players maximize the things they CAN do and minimize what they CAN'T do.

VT had an outstanding receiver, an okay receiver, and an okay quarterback. They shredded Pitt again, and again, and again. The Pitt DB's had no alternative except to clutch and grab (and they got flagged for it every time - it was so obvious) because they had no chance to play the defense Genius called. That is total blockhead coaching.

Pitt fans

Beat me to it. He should've gotten the worst. And those clowns still whine to this day about "depth chart justice" and Joe making players clean the stadium.

You do know you don't have to read their site or the comments sections looking to be trolled...but you're like a fly on sh!t.

 

[PSUoh90]

You won't hear much about this at the national media level. Why? Because Pitt is irrelevant and the vast majority of college football fans just don't care.

Correct, nobody will care. Whitehead is a good player...sometimes getting away is a good thing.

They may lose to Youngstown and be 0 - 4. That'd be a darn shame.

Another MSU in the making.
