Maybe he meant Rahne...because Cain didn't get a carry after his TD I believe.
Yes, I kept reading Pitt’s running game would gash us because of what Buffalo did to us and that didn’t happen.
Did they run the RPO today? It may be gone completely when we play Maryland in 2 weeks?
Don’t know where the sarcasm emoji is — but that was sarcasm. Cain almost single-handedly got us the lead and if I’m not mistaken never played another down. Among the many absolutely IDIOTIC coaching moves today.
Tis true on his decision to go for the FG. Beyond that, he and staffed owned Fraudklin & Co
I'm surprised Nate still posts....honestly....because his predictions honestly have sucked for a long time.And you’re never wrong...
That call you go for a FG at that point in the game was an all-time bad call. Just a real head scratcher. If you make it, you still need to score a TD. There is no justification for that call. None.
He doesn’t. Whiners just want to whine. No team wins every game and sometimes you need to win ugly. I’ll take a 7 point win over Pitt vs losing to Temple.
Thank goodness, we have two weeks to get it right for Maryland. Coaches certainly have a lot to work on during the bye week.
Agreed. It was baffling not seeing any Noah Cain in there after their best drive of the day.
Celebrate the victories. That said, the offensive line needs to get this figured out and I don’t see this great pass rush I was promised from the defensive line.
The 1st down has to be a short run/short pass for positive yards, even just 1 or 2. 4 years of 3rd and 9/10.
Yep, he is a coordinator playing head coach, while we have a position coach playing coordinator. And a Head coach trying to be loyal to too many unfortunately, and not able to have tuff conversations.
In the end we gave up what... zero second half points?
Issue is why did we give away 8 plays on o looking for the long ball?

(SMH) Why wasn't Cain in on the last offensive series when we needed a couple of 1st downs to run out the clock?
Long time/first time, had to create an account just to vent and rant cuz my girlfriend, group text threads, and dog are sick of listening to it and I've got a whole shit ton more bitching to do.
This sucks, I thought we were done with this 8-4 BS. Whoever said Rahne is a shittier version of Galen/Jay is dead on. Gattis is probably desperate to leave the clown show he's a part of for an opportunity to actually be in charge of an offense, would welcome him back with open arms.
UGGGHHHHHHHH. This is more frustrating than 6-4

Offense has no ability to move the ball consistently. We have no running game tho we have 4 of the best running backs in the country. WE have no short passing game although it seems to work if we try it. Our offense is big, long plays. Period. Defensively, we are mediocre or up to good. If we can keep the play in front of us, we do okay. Cam Brown is a standout player. Franklin should be wearing a cheerleader skirt and bring his pom-poms.
The will still be tough for this team. We have no offense against any team with a pulse on D. None. It's just pray for a big play or 3 and out. Then when you do have a great drive, you bench that RB for the rest of the day even though he had the hot hand. There isn't a gimme left outside of RU on this schedule. Hopefully an early bye week can help get some things fixed as this team is not good team right now. Average at best. Good D, but some issues there...horrible on offense.
Do us a favor and make it a long time before your next post
I hated today's game, but I enjoyed @Midnighter 's halftime e-open bar. It needs to become a pre-game, half-time and post-game ritual.
Very entertaining.

It always was and those that thought differently, haven’t been paying attention in the Franklin era.
It will be a slow decline but we will be a 7-9 win team for the next 3-5 years until the declining recruiting will start to hurt us because they realize CJF can’t coach his way out of a paper bag and continues to be loyal to the similarly skilled coaches on both sides of the ball.
We will hold on to CJF for another 3 years or so after that until we finally decide to bring in a new coach. It is what it is, just go along for the ride.

I see rahne’s play calling as very immature. What I mean is it seems like when we have a play work, he goes back to it way too many times. Problem with that is when you’re playing past the high school level, and hell even at the high school level, coaches and players are able to adjust. Also, he has a habit of going for the home run way too often. Agree with the Cain comments.
Maryland will probably be tough. A loss today or not.
From a Pitt fan, nice solid defensive game; you guys have a solid D. Glad the last game was good. Best of luck moving forward.
