Real world intrusions killed all hope of posting yesterday. Settling in for a game that I can’t help but have some hope for an upset.
12:02: Oh, no. Pitt is wearing their Georgia Tech tops. Why? Who? Someone is to blame for them. I need a name. Give me the name!
12:03: Meaningless stat. Pitt has lost the last two to Rutgers. Those were both night games. I’m thinking that the last time Pitt lost to Rutgers in a day game was back in ’98.
12:14: Guess Teel’s thumb is feeling better. Still, I can’t complain that Pitt is selling out to stop the run. I’d rather take a chance with Teel and the receivers than Rice.
Field goal is good.
3-0 Rutgers, 11:29 in the 1stQ.
12:20: Bostick hits Turner who fights for extra yards. Nice. Get’s Turner’s head in the game immediately as well as opening things up.
Turner should want this game. He is a Jersey boy.
12:21: Poor footwork by Bostick. on that 3d and 5 pass attempt.
Pooch punt fails miserably.
12:25: Wow. Gift interception to Kennard Cox. Britt had position, but let it go past him. Good return.
Pitt at the RU 23.
12:26: No shock that Rutgers will also sell out on the run.
12:28: FG for Pitt now. 33-yarder is good.
3-3, 6:39 in the 1st quarter.
12:33: Wow. A fumble! McKillop caused it. On a blitz? Ah, Jabu was back.
Under review? For what? To see if his arm was coming forward?
12:34: Howling takes it to the 9 yard line for 3 yards.
Munoz (OLB) for Rutgers is down after the tackle.
12:36: Smart dump-off to Howling. Damn. Just stopped short of the goal line.
1st and goal. Have to make this a 4 down attempt.
12:39: Offsides by RU on two straight plays as Pitt QB sneaks have been pitiful.
Oh, crap. what the hell was that? Lucky to be sacked rather than the turnover. Not sure how that can be reviewed.
Vangas stepped on Bostick’s foot as he pulled out.
12:41: Refs say McCoy was short. 3d and inches from the goal line.
Wow. Great stop by Rutgers. Hat right on McCoy to deny him. I’m impressed by that one.
12:44: Going for it after a TO.
Jump ball to Strong. Hey. It worked this time!! Grife. Now we will have to read in the post game by Wannstedt saying, “See, told you it works.”
10-3 Pitt, 2:14 in the 1st Q.
