There are two Coastal division opponents Pitt has yet to beat in the storied history of Pitt in the ACC. Last year was particularly humiliating as Pitt coughed the ball up in comically ridiculous fashion throughout the second half. Meanwhile the Yellow Jackets just ran over Pitt, prompting a panicked defensive coordinator to junk everything from the game plan at halftime — it didn’t help.
The game is a 12:30 start syndicated by the ACC. Hopefully you can find a station. If not, it’s ESPN3.com or — in my case as I’m visiting in-laws where naturally the middle of the state of Ohio is not carrying it — the WatchESPN app on your phone.
Did I bring a flask of Four Roses and a six-pack of Lagunitas Little Sumpin’ Extra to get me through the game (and family)? It’s a possibility.
Odd how the better coaches win the close ones.
I would think he has an automated machine doing the back patting. Or someone on payroll to do it. His hands and arms couldn’t handle the workload…
He now has the most catches of any Pitt receiver, and will break the yardage record soon.
He makes everyone better. We will miss him next year, he is a Pitt Legend.
better late than never i suppose!! you probably ot a hell of a good deal on the duckets…
Wbb – Get a life. Tyler had a great game but deserved criticism earlier in the year and it was warranted. It was bever anout ability but me attitude.
Him and Pitt. Bext week is a gimmee. No sop it appears. New days ahead.
Just win baby, WIN! Met many of the Pitt players as they filed through the Pitt fans as the boarded the buses to the airport. Everyone we met was thankful for our support, polite & respectful. The other thing that was pervasive throughout the team and coaching staff, a palpable quiet but confident attitude.
This team is going to be one to be reckoned with going forward in the conference.
Overall it was an interesting game, but the result was fantastic. Evenly matched for the most part. We gave our opponent a 57 yard field goal and we got ourselves a 56 yarder!! Let’s light the lamp, enjoy the night and start prepping for the next one!
Michigan is the old Pitt! Wow!!!!
In 08, the Great Steve Pedersen scheduled 3 straight road games which included Pitt playing AT Syracuse and then playing AT USF on Thursday … and Pitt won all 3.

Looking good.
When you consider Ollison, James and Hall … along with Conner and Ibrahim, there’s not even close to a dog among them
This blog was at one time called Panther Rants and with the negativity generated here should maybe consider going back to that moniker. Pitt is 5-1 with only an away loss to an undefeated Iowa team that won on a 57 yard field goal. We are also 3-0 in conference play yet reading the comments here one would think we are in a hopeless mess. Come on people, Pitt is only one win from being bowl eligible at the half way point of the season. If anyone had told you that at the beginning of the season, the more supple (and younger) of you would have been doing backflips. Lighten up and enjoy the ride. It is only going to get better in the coming seasons. Hail To Pitt!
Love this big DT. He is a beast. Would be great with Narduzzi. Chris Dokish added,

I wondered why the guy, who had his arm in a sling and looked two sheets to the wind and his female friend, were escorted out of the stadium. And they were “Pitt” fans. Ouch! I thought Roc and the cheerleaders did a great job keeping our spirits up, especially at games end.
Unfortunately, I didn’t meet up with Dr. Tom, my fault. I was hijacked by some of my Techoid friends who saw me wearing a Pitt cap. This was one of my best experiences since attending GA Tech home games at Bobby Dodd. On to Syracuse. H2P!
Agree that Cuse is a potential trap game. It’s nice to be a good enough team to have a trap game. There are no bad teams on our schedule the rest of the way. Every game will be an adventure.
— The coaching staff (and players) have to be so freakin’ relieved that the GT game is behind them – what a pain in the butt to play that offense.
–I keeping hoping that Paul Johnson will move to a different conference, but at least we should be better prepared for them in future games…
–Our RBs are solid, but we still need a RB who can make people miss…
–The OL is really stifling the offense with their missed blocks – saw several today…
—Thought Coach Chaney was creative today with moving TB around – but where the heck are the passes to Orndoff?
–Very entertaining game.
–As a team we have some flaws, but you have to love the effort, attitude and persistence.
–I kind of took some comfort when Mike Caprara was in the game today – that’s a new development for me.
Go Pitt.
It was very nice to see the offense and special teams carry the team when the defense couldn’t. The last two weeks Winslow is a different punter and I’ve never seen a new coach learn as quickly from his mistakes as PN.
What’s great is I don’t think this team is close to peaking yet. Syracuse could be the first team to see all three phases of Pitt football dominate. I’m starting to expect the Cuse game to be our first blowout of the season. Pedal to the metal thrashing and riding that high into the UNC game.
10-2

I do agree that Pitt has not yet peaked.

When Conner went down, we all thought we were doomed. We have one legit receiver, 3 inexperienced RBs, a new QB, and a line that is just now getting healthy. We are 5-1 for the first time this decade. WTF do you want?
