Pitt

hmmmmm VERY interesting....this season just intrigues me....I honestly feel if this team keeps making strides....(and can find a way to keep winning) we could be playing Nebraska for a shot at a Big Ten Title....or we could stagnate and not win another game...this season is strange. It ALMOST reminds me of when we were 2-2 in 04 after the debacle in the desert and losing in Ann Arbor....I don't know what to think.
 
I think our O did very well, after watching Pitts D tonight. Unless USF's O just plain sucks azz.
Thats it. 44-17 F
 
Pitt played very well, USF could not stop thier run game and after some dropped passes, Pitt got it's passing game going. Pitts D was also very impressive, getting behind the los and forcing turnovers.
Good win for them, and makes us look good to.

Yeah, hard to tell what's what at this point.
 
With the power of hindsight ... I think that it shows you just how good of a job the Iowa D did to contain Graham. Were it not for one poor tackle attempt ... we could have even held him to less.
 
I hate when teams gotta use tons of gimmicks. Just makes it seem second rate. Was watching this at Buffalo Wild Wings, late 1st or early 2nd quarter they hike the ball but the offensive line doesn't even move. USF called for offside anyway, but the play didn't do much.
 
Pitt really did what it wanted to do. They played a complete 60 minutes, their D got a lot of stops in the 2nd half (really dominated USF), and their O ran a LOT of plays. USF looked wasted at the end of that game.
 
Attendance last night was 40,025. Capacity at Heintz is 65,050. So there were 25,025 empty seats for a Thursday night conference game. The Panthers did sell out against Notre Dame, but are averaging only 48,666 for their four home games.

People say the Big Ten should admit Pitt with expansion. Why? It would be another athletic program that Nebraska, Iowa & others would have to subsidize. Iowa loses about $750,000 in revenue a year because of the Big Ten's ticket revenue sharing plan. That number would only go up with the admission of Pitt.

Don't bring up their basketball program. There is no money in basketball. ESPN only pays the Big East $38 million a year for football & basketball. Admitting Kansas would even be worse. Kansas draws even less than Pitt.
 
Wow, seeing Pitt destroy the 16th ranked team in the country raises more questions about Iowa. Imagine if ISU beats Texas then we will all be shaking our heads.

The only decent game left for Pitt is at West Virginia. They might wind up winning the Big East and getting into a BCS bowl.
 
I think everyone knew USF was overrated. Also, how does Pitt constantly have some of the best RB's in football.
