Figured we needed a place to talk about the game as a whole and not just the officials and the handshake.
The D played hard despite being on the field all night short handed. But they also had some BAD lapses, like the wide open receivers (that Pitt thankfully missed), an almost uncovered QB at WR in a goal line situation, and some long runs (first play, last TD). Also gave up too many yards trying to strip the ball.
I long for the day that we have some guys that can put a solid hit on somebody. Other than one hit that shook Pickett up for a sec, we seldom seem to put a good hit on anybody, and we miss a lot of tackles.
We needed some turnovers in the game. The one that Quez picked and then fumbled was a killer. (Was he trying to lateral it or did he just lose the handle on it? It was hard to tell in the stadium replays.). Very GT to turn an interception into a 15 yard gain for the other team.
Tre Swilling cracks me up jawing with everybody, from the Pitt sideline to the Pitt huddle to the refs. Watching him last night was one of those things where being at the game is more fun than watching on TV.
The offense looked discombobulated last night. I know Pitt has a good D, but this was one of those games where it was hard to tell what our gameplan and identity even was. Seems like we needed something besides run up the middle and heave it deep for most of the game.
Pitt’s receivers didn’t drop anything, and our guys didn’t catch anything. They made hard catches when they were reasonably well covered all night.
We did run a couple of plays that had some interesting window dressing. Lots of different motion in that first play from scrimmage, which unfortunately ended in a pick but seemed like maybe we had a guy open. The 2-pt trick play was well executed but for the phantom pick.
The entrance. Man, the Wreck came out like 45 seconds before the team. It looks ridiculous. Can’t we figure that out?
The light issues sound like they may have been out of our control, but man, that’s embarrassing. Even the Coke sign on the scoreboard was out all night.
Was glad to see some fire out of Collins tonight. Makes me feel better than all the relentless positivity, honestly.
We’ve got to get better. To be outplayed by Pitt’s WRs and RBs is embarrassing. We’re not good enough to overcome mistakes and bad officiating yet. We’re young, and hopefully that’s all it is rather than the coaches not coaching us up. If next year is a remotely “normal” year, we really need to see some solid improvement or I’m going to start getting worried.
A full stadium of drunk, pissed Tech fans might have murdered those refs last night. I’m still hoarse from yelling from the upper deck. The team knew what was up, too, egging on the fans to boo.
Pitt is a bunch of bitches, with a lot of little taunting of the team and the fans with gestures and stuff all night. They’ve legit moved up my “who cares” list to my hate list after that garbage last night.
