Pitt v Utes

[D-BOE34]

THOUGHTS?!?! Personally couldnt judge good O or good D or just two good teams matched up...

I got to watch bits and pieces of it. I am not sure what to make of it. Both teams looked pretty good, not sure if they just complimented eachother or they are good. They did look fast though.

I saw the whole game, and since I haven't seen the Irish play, judging from last year, we could easily lose to both of those teams unless we are much improved.

Pitt looked sloppy for a while . Both teams really scare me glad there at end of season though.

Not if they play like that .... turnovers, missed reads, penalties galore (12 for Pitt and 11 for Utes). The key to Pitt is definitely contain RB Lewis, WR Baldwin and take care of the football. I'm sure that both will be tough foes though by the time the Irish match up w/ them.

In the 1st quarter I thought Pitt looked good. They got Lewis going, eased Sunseri into the game with some short passes and controlled the tempo. Utah looked a little rusty on offense in the beginning of the game.

Then for the next two quarters the game just flip flopped. Utah's offense is looking pretty darn good. Both Asiata and Wide are good runners, their O-line neutralized Romeus and Sheard, and Wynn looks like a pretty decent QB.

I was impressed with Utah's run defense, which was helped by the fact that Pitt couldn't do much through the air for 3 quarters.

Both teams have weaker secondaries and will struggle defending our passing game. Sunseri came on at the end, but he struggled for most of the night.

Wynn is fairly athletic at QB and he has a really strong arm. His fundamentals are incredibly sloppy though, he's always throwing off his back foot, he gets away with it cause he has a strong arm, but his pick in the end zone was heinous.

I came away thinking Utah is a little better offensively than I thought, and Pitt is about where I thought they'd be. They will only win 8 games if Sunseri can't get team's to worry about him passing instead of keying on Lewis.

Utah run defense looks scary good, but pass defense is small and undersized with some holes.

Utah shouldve been ranked by the AP... Better then Auburn

Was I watching the same game? Jordan Wynn is not a good QB right now, and the Pitt guy (DeNunzio? Gotti? Vitti?) was raw. These will be tough games, but I'm not losing any sleep over them. Agree that Utah's Run D looked pretty strong.

I'm not saying we're going to beat both teams, just that at the end of the game, when there is no time left, we will have more points than them.

I agree, nothing I saw scared me in the least. Plus both games are at our house.
