How did we lose to Pitt?

[LeonardWood]

They are awful!

Wrong.

 

[LeonardWood]

They had a 3rd and 10 from their own 30 down 7 with 4 minutes to go and threw a duck, had our S jump it, tip it, and miraculously end up in their TEs hands. That's how.

I suppose I'd trade that for the UGA win, but Pitt has not been better than us either of the last two seasons.

I really don't get how people don't understand that football is a game of probabilities and huge variances. It's not hard for a 9-3 quality team to have a losing season via bad luck. 2014 was not much different than 2016 for us other than a couple of plays, and both seasons could have been very disappointing. College football is not pro baseball, where a billion games are played and there is enough time for the results to get into law-of-large numbers territory.

I think Pitt was a good team this past year that had their öööö together earlier in the season than we did. I think we were better in the end. I think if we played 100 games against them in 2015 and 2016, we'd win 50 of them in 2015 and 70 of them in 2016.

I think people that watch a single game and go "oh wow they are losing to X how did we lose" suck at both math and sports.

You're never as good or as bad as you seem.

Pitt was straight torching people at the end of the season. I would have wanted no part of them in November.
