HAD EM ALL THE WAY

Pitt sending a statement going on the road early in the season, in a trap game, and coming away with an impressive win. Should be a nice confidence builder heading into the ACC schedule.

I can't tell if you're trolling, which means you nailed it shad lolol

That doesn't seem sincere.

[slappybrown]

That doesn't seem sincere.

The addition of in "a trap game" is really top-notch work by shad. Really well crafted.

[columbia]

EPP style rhetoric.

[slappybrown]

I think canaan giving him a 2/10 on the last troll motivated him.

[Green Eggs and Ham]

So much for undefeated Va Tech...

[columbia]

What a shame.

I didn't watch it, but it sounds like Pitt just overcame a flukey 1st quarter

[canaan]

Shad gave a better effort this round. With no argument stemming from the post, the best I can give is a 4.5/10, though.

[Dickie Dunn]

Pitt's win at BC looking pretty solid now. USC only managed 20 rushing yards.

[ulf]

That was a great effort by Shad lol

Pretty much. Pitt drove the field on two separate occasions early on, only to have the drives sabotaged by James Conner fumbles inside the FIU 10. Conner fumbled because he was trying for extra yardage in both instances.

FIU's first TD came after a bit of a fluke play, too - a pass that got tipped from one FIU receiver to another. FIU's second TD was a good sustained drive.

After that, Pitt rattled off 26 straight points and outscored FIU 42-9. FIU's only other TD came late in the 4th while Pitt was sitting back.

The loudest heinz has been for a Pitt game was the revis punt return for a td against the hooples.

It's understandable why no one cares about this fiu game.

Crowd during Revis play is very true. I wasn't at the game, but it was louder than hell on TV so I can imagine what it was like there.

[ulf]

Honestly I don't remember the crowd. I was so into/amazed by that play I wasn't paying attention to the crowd.

Kinder's devastating block + Revis somehow going the last 15-20 yards without stepping out were just unreal.

[ulf]

Something feels weird saying that a block was one of my favorite moments in Pitt football but my God he crushed both of them.

Credit where it's due, FIU took advantage of every inch we offered, and the long TD pass was a great throw & catch, and that WR was flat out faster. Our defense was pretty shaken after that.

Pitt was that team over the past few years that would routinely lose that game once they got down a few points. The fact that they rallied, and better yet James Conner responded to his mistakes to finish with 3 TD's, different team altogether. HCPC has this team winning when they should and competing every game.

The real trap... Opening - 4 against Iowa.

[slappybrown]

and now its up to -5.5/-6 depending on the book. What the

[columbia]

I looked for the lines yesterday and they weren't up....was figuring -4.
I wouldn't touch -6.

[slappybrown]

I probably wouldn't touch -4. Pitt v. Iowa is a match made in wat

[columbia]

nevermind...faulty logic on my part.

[shafnutz05]

Iowa is unimpressive this year, to put it mildly.

[Troy Loney]

I'm not sure Pitt is capable of 4-0. I'd put money on Iowa.

Obvious reverse psychology.
