At this point, I’ll keep it short. Pitt slayed them. Pitt with the early blow-out then cruise control.

Ron Cook appears to be willing to consider eating some crow while throwing laurels to Greg Lee and Joe DelSardo.

Josh Lay’s big game was a popular storyline. As was Joe DelSardo.

Mike Prisuta still sees room for improvement (it was only Rutgers, you know).

Goose Goslin gives much love to Tyler Palko — for both his game and his attitude.

Paul Zeise’s Q&A column seems to be a lot of arguments over bias. He does have solid defenses of Harris, Rhoads and even Dave Wannstedt.

Meanwhile in New Jersey…

Seems kind of weird to read this about another school this year.

Just when it seemed the Knights had something to play for over the second half of the season — which they had many fans believing heading into yesterday’s game against Pittsburgh — they no longer do. Not realistically anyway.

With four games left against opponents that are a combined 22-6, the only suspense now for Rutgers is whether there’s another victory left this fall.

It was hard to make a case for that after the erratic Panthers seemed to put it all together in a 41-17 laugher over Rutgers before a crowd of 41,232 at Heinz Field.

Truth be told, the Knights (4-3 overall, 1-2 Big East) were exactly what every homecoming opponent is supposed to be: Short work for the guys in the dark uniforms.

Even the disturbingly upbeat Rutgers weblog is feeling a darkened mood.

A QB throws 4 INT and fumbles, there are going to be questions about the wisdom of still playing him. Rutgers head coach is staying with Hart.

The overall “grades” for Rutgers are lousy for this game.
