Notice how ESPN lets some plays be run while the TV coverage is still showing commercials?

Yep, they know that no one cares to see pitt anyway...........

Damn, I forgot.....how could I forget this prime time action. Didn’t even set the recorder.....

Guess I was too focused on the forthcoming Northwestern upset of tOSU over in Evanston!
 
PItt is playing very solid football (when they have their QB)

They may be favored - or no worse than a toss up - in all their remaining games.

PItt may end up playing Clemson again..... and if they do, they will be the best team Clemson will have played to that date.

Syracuse is dreadful on offense.

What a stunningly damning indictment of the ACC.

Switched over to FAU vs Marshall. Syracuse is too hard to watch. They are absolutely horrible.

Agree. Whipple and Narduzzi make a good coaching couple. Whipple seems to have complete control over Pitt’s offense allowing the Duzz to focus on defense. Pitt looks respectable.
 
Remember all the hype the espn folks were giving Syracuse in the first few weeks this year? They got more publicity than Penn State. ;).

Neither of these teams are good but Syracuse is a truly horrible team. Just awful.
 
Pitt has probably improved from Week 1 to now as any team in the country..... certainly more than any team I’ve seen.

Maybe but that’s all relative to where you started. ;).

There have been so many dropped passes/ interceptions in this game and it’s only half. Syracuse is just really bad. They lost to Maryland 63-20. Even Rutgers would have a shot at beating them.
 
Considering what Maryland did to Syracuse, and what PSU did to Maryland... I wonder what would happen if PSU played Pitt this season?

I'd say you need to watch more football. Good grief, they trailed FCS Delaware in the 4th quarter and tried desperately to lose to Duke but Duke wouldn't take it.

And didn't Delaware lose to that powerhouse Elon by 35 the next week?

Is Elon a girls school?

Wellll yea they are somewhat better but look at the competition and remember what MD did to them. SU is about as bad as any team I've seen. Idaho and Buffalo were better.
 
That play Syracuse just ran should be tried against Pitt 15-20 times a game. Their DBs cannot cover deep without holding. If Clifford was on against Pitt, there are probably 3 additional scores

Yep, pitt CB forgot to hold onto the Cuse WR's jersey for just 1 play and just like that a 94 yard TD!!

Dino Babers is baffling. Has a running QB throwing it. I can see why Maryland thumped this team
 
Syracuse's offense consists of having a QB who can't throw just throw it up and hope the Pitt kids are too undisciplined not to interfere. So far, it's working!

I think he realizes Pitt’s DB’s grab and hold on every play so he’s rolling the dice that the officials will call it.

I feel bad for rooting for Pitt! I'm no Catholic but may need to hit the confessional on Sunday. And I concur 522, our win keeps looking better and better. However, it's amazing the amount of flags called on the Pitt db's that weren't called when we played.
