Game Thread: Week 2: Pitt week/game thread

[linebackeru]

PSU opens up as double digit favorite. Pretty sure we see Tommy Touchdown, Shane Simmons and Kevin Givens back this week as well.

Leaving work today, heading to Pittsburgh and starting the weekend festivities. We got a room today and tomorrow, thank god after I saw the traffic/parking nightmare that awaits people coming in just for the game. Anyhow, here's prediction for week

PSU somewhere in neighborhood of 35-23 range, they cover.

Trace goes off for 300 passing, 50 rushing, Pitt sells out to stop run, but Miles gets 125+ total yards, defense cleans things up from the 1 bad quarter they played, gets Givens back, cuts rotations way back and plays starters/top backups instead of rolling 3 deep just to do it. Special teams also plays much, much better this week. All those kids who were getting their first taste last week settle down and trust themselves to play fast again. Micah slowly starts to take over for Koa is my bonus take for the week.

I hope PSU kicks Pitt's ass up-and-down the field for four quarters!!

Pitt manhandling PSU so far

 

[Retroram52]

Up by a point we are struggling abit on offense with a meager 138 total yards.

 

[Retroram52]

HUGE play by Quintin Wirginis. Punches the ball out from Ricky Slade, Rashad Weaver recovers and Pitt is in business at the PSU 31.

 

[TheSnowdog]

Good stop by the D

 

[Retroram52]

Pitt turns it over on downs at the Penn State 7. Lions lead 7-6 with 4:44 left in the first half. Nice stand by the D.

 

[Retroram52]

McSorely gets sacked. Crap.

 

[Retroram52]

This is beginning to look more and more like a D battle.

 

[Retroram52]

Pickett is beginning to pick our secondary apart.

Pitt special teams helping out PSU big time

A comedy of errors out there for Pitt ST

 

[TheSnowdog]

There we go.... touchdown!!!

 

[Retroram52]

Nice blocked punt by J.Miller.

 

[Retroram52]

Indeed. Timely score to get big mo rolling.

 

[Retroram52]

We need a little more pressure on the Pickett in the second half to shut down him getting their offense going.

 

[Retroram52]

Pitt missing a lot of FGs and had a punt blocked. Must be a weakness we are def exploiting.

 

[Retroram52]

We are killing ourselves on O with these untimely penalties. The TD from McSorley to Sanders came back for a pick called on Juwan Johnson.
