Open Thread: Pitt-Virginia

Filed under: Football,Open Thread — Chas @ 9:37 am

Game Notes.

I’m on DVR delay do to some work stuff.

As much a fit and the reasonable distance to most ACC schools from Pitt, it really is something how infrequently Pitt played ACC teams (excluding fellow Big East ex-pats). This is only the 9th meeting of Pitt and UVa. Seven of the meetings have taken place in the last thirteen years. Before that, a two-game series in the 50s.

All eyes will be on Pitt’s secondary. You know Virginia is going to throw the ball, and most likely deep. How Pitt handles it will be what decides this game. Everything else, should reasonably favor Pitt. But giving up quick scores is a hell of an equalizer.

This was a very good win. We took the best punches VA had in them and then knocked them out in the second half.

James Conner is by far our best running back and the best football PLAYER on our team (and I don’t think he is 100% yet)

Over bet was lock of the year. Covered by half time.

Technically Conner had a QB pressure & a knockdown.

Comment by Nick 10.15.16 @ 7:14 pm

No doubt Conner is our best player and this was his best performance this year, but this was a team win with many great plays by quite few playmakers, the most we have had in quite a few years. We still need more, but this team is fun to watch, if you have a strong heart.

Is that a “Pat Signal” on that twitter link?

The ACC coastal is open, the Panthers have a very good offense, the defense is the question mark. Pitt will be favored in 3 of their 5 games.

How about the Badgers over the Buckeyes 16-6 at the half.

Comment by MariettaMike 10.15.16 @ 8:55 pm

Pitt had another 200 yards rushing. That is all.

Comment by Tossing Thabeets 10.15.16 @ 9:59 pm

Right TT, plus 210 in kickoff returns and 46 in punt returns. Also a 59 yd TD INT.

Special teams and defense contributed mightily to this win.

And the defense had its best by far second half of the year, which made for a much more comfortable fourth quarter.

Losses by Miami and VT make for a wide open race for the Coastal. UNC in the driver seat again though.

Comment by gc 10.16.16 @ 8:19 am

gc – I was at the game. The defense played better than the score indicates and appears to be rounding into shape. Pitt still has a big play problem though … the long pass and run (great play call – not sure I can pin that completely on the defense) notwithstanding, Pitt had them bottled up all game. Back to back dumb penalties led to the first TD.
