'21 Recruiting Forum: Official Pittsburgh Pregame/Game Thread

Look at the positives. We fix penalties and avoid the turnovers and we win the game easily. There are a lot of teams in trouble against us in the future, if we fix penalties and turnovers.

 

[engineerVOL]

Then we should

Feels like a Wes Rucker tweet incoming.

 

[VolGee4]

And we had one.

But you don’t get a challenge.

You have to balance whether they will overturn versus wasting a TO. The college game has automatic reviews, so you should NEVER be in that position.

 

[Devo182]

Penalties and turnovers - bottom line

This. We gave up some 150 or whatever penalty yards...-3 in turnovers and only lost by 1 TD WITH the worst spot in UT history

That is actually pretty insane if you think about it.

 

[Blake25p]

We didn’t run tempo hardly at all today

Hard to do when you’re constantly behind the chains due to penalty’s.

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

Y’all can rave all tf you want biut Harrison Bailey deserves a damn chance.

He really does, at least against Tech if nothing else. He’s really not a fit for JH’s O so I fully expect him to hit the portal at some point and won’t blame him for a second.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Ok. I don't agree with all of his decisions but he made some adjustments when Hooker came in and we were one bad spot away from tying the game late.

True. Problem is that this was one of the worst teams on our schedule and we needed this win for a chance at a bowl. I don’t think we can make a bowl now.

This. That, that spot was not automatically reviewed is ridiculous.

We can, but it’ll be hard. Should beat TTU, South Alabama, and Vanderbilt. South Carolina is not good (neither are we, but it’s a game that can go either way). We’ll see about Mizzou and UK.

I don’t THINK we’ll get to 6-6 but it’s not outside the realm of possibility. I think the door has been shut on finishing above .500, though.

 

[drvenner]

It hurt our chances, for sure. I think we can still get there. I am not at all opposed to trying HB, but at this point, I still have faith in CJH.

 

[Fun coupon VOL]

Hooker interception was a two man route. Heupel is famous for it because it allows us to go fast.

It sucks and is why he was ran out of Missouri.

But we were and should have challenged. Period. It was a bad decision not to.

 

[volbeast33]

Lol. Don’t be mad your boy Milton played bad and who you know says he is amazing. Don’t care about practice. He sucks.

Milton isn’t my boy….. I don’t care who plays…. Just want to win….. I just tell you what happens in practice.

Meh. Been saying some version of this for longer than some posters have been alive. Lol.

Milton put us in position to build momentum and the lead with his legs. Talk about implosion in the red zone.

1/2 YARD SHORT....CLEARLY!!!

View attachment 393904

The ref on that side of the field screwed us two or threee times today. He knew what he was doing by allowing the two players to take him away from the line. He was seven yards from where he needed to be.

I was petition to have his ass fired.

 

[VolByLaw]

It sucks and is why he was ran out of Missouri.

He was hired as the HC at UCF. He was not run out of Missouri.

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

38-14 Vols

250 yards rushing.
250 yards passing.

@Ron Swanson, you might want to go with penalty yards next game

 

[Fun coupon VOL]

He was hired as the HC at UCF. He was not run out of Missouri.

He was on his way. They hated him.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Shouldn’t lose to Vandy or UK either. Quit living in the past! This is a really good PITT team. With their QB we challenge most anybody we play. QB and NOT coaching is the most glaring deficiency we have.....after losing supposedly elite talent all over!

We are young, without elite talent especially at QB and it was a great game.

Step off the ledge and see the good....a lot to be seen today...MOSTLY coaching.

Like I said; at least he isnt Pruitt. We woulda gotten trounced. Pitt isnt that good. They arent UMASS or TN Tech. But, they are middle of the road. anyway, gotta find a qb.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Sure sure sure. We lost by 7 because of a 100% garbage call...ergo we can't win ~50\50 games for another 2 years what a joke.

I'd bet you rn we win at least one of them this year - still have mizzou, uk, uscjr, and ole miss left.

Pitt is better than Mizzou, UK and USC.

 

[volbeast33]

B b but Dormady was 10-10 in it!

Frfr though don't mind seeing QB2 if Milton is out. Down to just HH qb1 and HB qb2. Vs tn tech surely they both play. But HB has to be wayyy better than he was last year. Can't lead the league in sack and fumble rate again and worse than jg in uncatchable%. Throws a catchable ball though...would just be a different more dink n dunk offense. But if it works it works. NEED Evans back too.

Yep….. he will probably get his shot….. I don’t care who gets the job done as long as we can get one of them to be consistent…. We haven’t seen Bailey prove anything yet….

 

[Fun coupon VOL]

Lol. Don’t be mad your boy Milton played bad and who you know says he is amazing. Don’t care about practice. He sucks.

Absolutely sucks. He left at minimum 14 points in the field today. The absolute worst deep ball thrower I have ever seen. He doesn’t even give his guys a chance.

Hyatt knock himself out because he was the only wide receiver catching up to that ball.

 

[jakez4ut]

True. Problem is that this was one of the worst teams on our schedule and we needed this win for a chance at a bowl. I don’t think we can make a bowl now.

It's a lot harder to get to 6+ now for sure.... Vandy, USCe, USA, and next week gets us to 5. Uk & Mizzou are the biggest games now.

 

[VolByLaw]

He was on his way. They hated him.

He took over an offense that was 127 out of 128 teams in the country in scoring. His first year they were 48th and his second they were 14th. Fans may have hated him, idk, but he wasn't getting run out of Missouri.
