OK, two things....

1) It is amazing that Pitt ran for 200+ yards in the first half but only had 6 points. Thank God the rest of the their team was so pitiful. I almost had a stroke watching our safeties line up 12 yards off the line of scrimmage when they had ZERO passing yards. If Pitt wasn't so completely inept in the other phases of the game it would have been solely on Pry to explain why he didn't adjust.

2) Can we put the "Slade needs to get a good number of carries" theory to sleep? Two fumbles? Miles made some less than optimal decisions on a couple runs but otherwise showed no reason why he shouldn't be getting the lion share of the carries (no pun intended) the rest of the season.

Kenny Heisman sucks as a passer.

If you remember, Miles had a little bit of fumblitis his freshman year, too. Looks like the coaching staff got that sorted out, so I think Ricky will be fine.

As long as he gets a few more reps!

Blackledge compared us to Georgia late in the telecast and I think we desire to platoon our RBs in a similar fashion. If you watched the Dawgs today, you would have seen that Swift, for all of his hype, shared carries with two other backs. In fact, Evander Holyfield's kid had a better game than Swift did.

Franklin and Rahne want the ability to put any RB in and not miss a beat. Slade looked solid until he fumbled (3 carries, 12-14 yards). It's going to be up to Slade to step up.

This^^ Gesicki looked freaking awful as a sophomore. Even Saquon's first 2 or 3 games sophomore season were a little bit concerning (new offense and all). Parsons is a complete freak of an athlete, was dominant in all the all-American games and looks lost out there right now. They're kids, have patience.

I was at the game and on the big screen and Slades second fumble I thought that he was down. I could be wrong.

It looked to me like his elbow was down well before the ball started to come loose.

Swift certainly wasn’t impressive last week...Boy, his Heisman campaign is taking a hit and it’s got to be crushing 78SweetRevenge. Sanders has outplayed him by a large margin.

LOL, you could rewrite that and transpose Barkley and Sanders and We're back in 2017!

I thought the ball could have been loose before he hit the ground. Didn't have a great shot of it. No way they overturn with the video I saw.
