3:30, ABC.
Pitt is a heavy underdog.
Penn State is ranked #4 nationally, Pitt is unranked.
PSU looked great at home against an overmatched opponent last week. Pitt, not so much.
Nit partisans are highly confident in this game. Ranging from blowout win to a mere tune-up.
Pitt fans won’t be surprised by a loss, but won’t exactly view it as an impossibility to pull off a win.
This is the biggest change with Head Coach Pat Narduzzi and what Pitt did last year. With Narduzzi in charge, there is a sense that Pitt, at worst, has a chance.
Up until last year, Pitt at best was merely winning the games it should and was barely 50-50 in the games that could be considered toss-ups.
And it was reflected in the fans’ view. We were mostly resigned to knowing the games Pitt would win, lose and meh on the rest.
It can make the losses hurt a bit more, but now there is a lot more belief that Pitt can win any game. That’s even with the glaring flaws and issues. With injuries, suspensions and waiting for the recruiting to catch-up.
There is a chance.
Browne’s passes either dropped or sailed high
Henderson bottled up
Still, the defense has played well enough to keep us in
Start DiNucci!
QO looks good he should be featured more.
3rd Year for Chyrst was do or die.
3rd Year for Narduzzi is a “transition.”
HILARIOUS!
But beating Pitt this year to Penn State is like beating Akron.
Choke on that one as you ponder how good of a job Narduzzi is doing.
Pitt was out classed yesterday but tried and just made too many mistakes. The coaching is fine, the players need to execute their assignments properly.
The problem is that Narduzzi has not recruited nearly well enough, has not coached Defense nearly well enough and has now thrown in his lot with a Quarterback who has been proven to be a failure at this level.
The GOOD news is the last one can be changed.
And we are certain he’s not the answer.
Hilarious stuff.
Then after a couple of Games we’ll all have a better idea of who and who is not the answer.
Guess I might just have to do the POV thing.
It’s a shame because I like this blog and I like Chas’s writing. I also really enjoy reading what you guys have to say and the dialogue between us. But with comments resetting after 50 it makes it difficult. What really sucks is come basketball season. Chas is as good as it gets when it comes to hoops.
Chas throw us a bone buddy. If not I fear Pitt Blather’s days may be numbered…
30 comments on State Penn game day?? Its been a good ride but it’s clearly over.
