[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Hard to justify #3 ranking

Every team has games like this, especially after coming off such a huge win. Our Irish will win today. That's all that matters.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

This game defines why going undefeated in college football is so difficult. Pitt is playing like it is their biggest game since WVU 07. Anyone who thought we were going to walk all over them were as clueless as the OU fans sayin' the same things about us last week. Survive and advance.

Thats right.

Nikki B was playing safety at the end of the half. Did they pull Farley or is he hurt?

 

[Crimson streak]

I love te'o but he has been non existent today

 

[SaltyND24]

Hey fellas...im not watching the game...is Golson injured? My updates showed an abrupt switch to Rees...Thanks

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Team failing to execute on all sides of the ball. Downright pathetic. I see absolutely no fire out there right now.

Oh, and that playcalling on the goal line was downright atrocious to boot. SNEAK THE DAMN BALL.

Absolutely right

 

[Irish Houstonian]

FWIW, Oklahoma wasn't doing so great against Iowa State either...Huge game hangover.

 

[HereComeTheIrish]

He came in for the two minute offense

 

[InKellyWeTrust]

The offense is simple give cierre wood the fing ball

this

I don't get it either, he is clearly our most dynamic offensive player

This team needs to come out angry. Run the ball, force the issue everwhere...offense, defense, and stop kicking FG's inside the five. Don't worry about #3 ranking...the BCS, National Championship...just play SOLID FOOTBALL. C'mon guys!!!

 

[Crimson streak]

I don't get it either, he is clearly our most dynamic offensive player

He always finds the right hole. I love theo's effort but cierre is a 10 times better back I really don't get it

 

[InKellyWeTrust]

Does the whole team have the flu? Seriously, they have immunizations for it.

 

[ACamp1900]

Seeing Wood on the sideline in times like these is so frustrating

 

[Irish Houstonian]

Oh yeah Dr. Miller? Well what are you brainiacs doing about fumble-itis? Nothing. That's what I thought.

 

[HawaiianIrish]

Time to wake the F@@k up boys!!!! This Pitt team is outplaying you!!! Look within and figure this s$$t out or kiss your undefeated asses good bye

GO IRISH

 

[IrishFan4L]

To me it seems like our offense doesn't have an identity. One week we come out and establish a run game and throw off play action. That worked to perfection last week, I just don't understand why we would come out throwing the ball and set up the run off the pass. I know we have had some big penalties but I don't think we can go on changing week by week.

 

[irishpat183]

Hey , Pricks that don't post should t give out neg reps.

 

[PraetorianND]

Don't worry guys, just took my halftime shower. We should be good to go now.

 

[irishfanjho15]

Unfortunately ND 2012 seems to play up and to their competition. Especially at home. I'm glad we keep winning but we don't have that killer mentality yet. We have the mental toughness to win close games, we just haven't taken that next step to absolutely dominate teams we should.

 

[Irish Houstonian]

He always finds the right hole...

That's what she said.

 

[HawaiianIrish]

D BOYS

 

[InKellyWeTrust]

Here we go defense. Kelly got in some ears at half it seems

 

[sportallyr]

Damn, Tino got a lucky bounce there.

 

[PraetorianND]

WTF was that?!

 

[sportallyr]

Damn Neal. Gotta catch that ball. Field position killing the Irish today!!!

 

[HawaiianIrish]

Offense gotta set the tone... Run that ball down the throat of that pussy cat D

 

[Walter White]

Nikki B was playing safety at the end of the half. Did they pull Farley or is he hurt?

He had surgery this week on his hand. Playing with a cast.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Seems like NBC is celebrating the history of Pitt Football.

 

[sportallyr]

WTF is Rees doing in there??? EG played great in the first half.
