Really not liking the Pennsylvania slander here.

We're more than Pittsburgh and Philly you guys know... We also have Pennsyltucky!

But honestly, the DiNic's roast pork and broccoli rabe is glorious. I think a lot of people end up disappointed by cheesesteaks because each place is put on a pedestal which just owes itself to disappointment. Chubby's is underrated and solid. Dalessandro's is obviously really good.

That said, back to the game. Pitt will play tough, we know the NardDog coaches a good defense. I just think that in the end it will be one of those, never really a threat after the 2nd quarter 38-14 type of games.

The level of confidence could lead to some highly entertaining stuff being posted during the game.

Who am I kidding, though, that shit is going to be levels regardless.

Heintschel has some negative underlying numbers, especially given the schedule played

- 21% Pressure to Sack Ratio is higher end

- 5 INTs and 4 fumbles in 5 starts. 4.5% Turnover Worthy Plays is higher end (Holstein was actually #1)

- Completion % on short throws is low end, especially for someone throwing them a lot

He wasn’t throwing behind LOS to his RBs all game, he pushed the ball downfield to them.

I don’t think he’s taking deep shots all game, usc didn’t either, but I expect they try to exploit gray in the mid game on a lot of slants and crossers where it’s more difficult to have safety help when in man.

I also expect they get their RBs out in routes a lot.
Did Gray kick your dog or something? I mean we heard crickets from you after Navy and now here you come into this thread with 3 posts focused on and bitching about Gray. And it’s Gray w a capital G. Give it a rest man.

Their RT Ryan Baer (wasn’t there a ND story about him?) has gotten abused this year. 22 pressures allowed. 6’7 325. Maybe a Sneed or KVA speed rush right around him

Yep, officials will probably try to write most of the story on Saturday. ND just had to keep playing despite the poor officiating.

Didn't we just save the ACC and land two new members a home there? Feel like there is a lot of animosity from a league that has had its top teams trying to actively leave and ND doing a lot of heavy lifting for its members' schedules.

They don’t get a slice of the ND playoff money pie, so I’m guessing whatever ND did for them is a distant memory.

People resent their helpers all the time

Maybe the ACC can owe ND a debt of gratitude for the next century?

Oh, wait, that's the Navy rivalry and it's the other way around.

What does Joey Maguire think?

Let Boobie eat. If we aren't bringing six on just about every down, we're doing it wrong. Heat him up early and often and make him dissect it immediately

Reps for Falling Waters, that's a deep cut.
You forgot the Bus (I know he's from Detroit, but he's the only Steeler I've ever cheered for or will cheer for)

Officials are my primary concern. They can kill drives, reverse momentum on game-changing plays, extend opponent drives all depending on how they feel like calling the game Saturday. We've taken their best shots and largely been unphased (aside from TAMU loss) but this looks like an evenly matched game on paper. I'll be hyper-attuned to how they call the game.
