'21 Recruiting Forum: Official Pittsburgh Pregame/Game Thread

My biggest question is why didn’t Hooker keep on the last fourth down?

I think he easily scores.

It never looked like a read. He stuck it in the belly and never really looked like he was going to pull it.

 

[chavisut]

This week is worse than last week. Do you go back to the inconsistent Milton? Or Hooker who can't throw? Another year TN has no QB

There’s one.

 

[butchna]

My greatest fear before the season started was that none of our QBs would be decent. I feel no better at this point.

That drive that ended with the 4th and 1? There was a run where Hooker had positive yardage but if he had taken off seconds sooner would’ve been a big gainer or TD. Hooker’s got more than I credited and I think when Bailey gets his chance, a lot of people will feel their wrong.

 

[Jackcrevol]

I think you have to play Hooker from here on out, no?

if he has the team, yes.

 

[pierce60]

Just play Bailey and suck it up that you were wrong.

And completely remove ANY threat of a mobile QB behind this OL???

No thanks….

 

[InVOLuntary]

His running makes our offense much more difficult to scheme for.

Add to that that he doesn't overthrow the receiver by 10 yards every throw.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

But I thought they weren’t good and middle of the road in ACC. You guys can’t keep anything straight.

Bro lol. You are all over the place. Lol. Duke lost to Charlotte. And those other teams are some of the worst in the country. Doesn’t take much to be middle pack in ACC.

We’re a bad football team. It’ll be at least two more years before we win games like this. No QB and no depth. Heupel isn’t going anywhere and it’s going to take time. Sucks but that’s reality. He’s better than the last few coaches without a doubt.

See ya next Saturday. GBO.

 

[SpringBokVol]

Bailey won’t play. I think the coaches probably realize they need a mobile QB because of how bad the O line is.

Bailey has the best accurate arm for sure but he won’t have time to use it.

 

[VFL1993]

This right here. We got our ass kicked by a middling ACC team. Heupel already with some giant ass red flags

Your definition of “ass kicked” is strange.

 

[avolation]

The only positive takeaway from me on days when we struggle is that I can go through and ignore all the half-crap “fans” and trolls on this board. Makes game day more enjoyable. Suggest everyone try it.

this is my frustration, more level headedly put.

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

Would have loved to see how this game goes with Tiyon Evans on the field.

He’s our best RB by far but probably not much different against their DL and our poor OL.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

You can question the coach, but it's pretty much all you have done since finding out HB was third string.

Because our QB played like crap game one and then just cost us the game today by playing Milton again and some coaching decisions.

[Blake25p]

Would have loved to see how this game goes with Tiyon Evans on the field.

And Coop, Small, Hyatt, BY.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Here's the cycle of football coaches. It's nothing against Heuple either. Recruiting is a double edge sword. Recruits want to see wins. You can't win without recruits. We lose games like this and it makes it hard to recruit. Recruiting suffers and you don't win. My hope is the transfer rule works in our favor.

 

[Atzar]

The penalties were unacceptable, and the turnovers were back-breaking.

Not impressed with our talent in general, but it would have won us the game had we played cleaner. That’s frustrating.

Thought Heupel called a good game… except for that fourth and short call. Also, not sure that play should have even happened. Hooker got a horrible spot on the previous play and I thought that should have moved the chains. Refs need to get that right.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Bailey has the best accurate arm for sure but he won’t have time to use it.

I think the O line is better than what people are saying. Many times the QB had plenty of time and didn’t do well. Once coop is back and our original five play, they will be better. All the shuffling didn’t help them. Ollie should have never been in first. Bailey is accurate and this offense needs accuracy.

 

[Pacer92]

not apologizing for wanting to win. tired of losing winneable games. dont like the post, ignore it

If you think we didn’t get the most out of this team today....you’re delusional. Easily winnable with decent QB play. Not on the coaches.

With coaches in the past Pitt would’ve kicked the **** outta us today....anybody with any football knowledge can see that.

This team has better days.....ignore that!

 

[VolGee4]

Who quit? I’m saying our coaches made mistakes. We can’t always love them and never question them when they make mistakes. I’m mad because he could have won this game. If hooker starts, we still win with injuries and penalties. If he challenges, we are tied with a chance to win. I’m mad because I want our coach to make good decisions to make us win. He has to be better. I loved our fight and I like this teams effort. Doesn’t mean our coaches didn’t make mistakes.

I understand, but no coach is perfect, and the non-challenge is stupid. It should be reviewed and opposite side of field. It’s incompetence on the officiating.

I will be done. I’m just tired of people expecting perfection. It’s been a long road, but no coach will make it if we have fans doing this in game 2.

What was the bet for @Kingston Vol and @Bassmaster_Vol ?

Yep. 5 years no matter what. The no depth thing is so true. Unreal how far we sink from losing Amy starter at basically Amy position.

I change my avi if we don’t win 6 games. Oh no! Oh my! What will I do?!!!

We should have never been running out of shotgun....that's on JH

I don’t think our guys practice under center.
