Syracuse v Pitt Game Thread

[firstandcanes]

Pitts defense has scored more points in one half than FSU has in a game this season.

Playing fast

I wish Guidry would just have them play fast and live with the mistakes. They're making the mistakes anyway.

3 pick sixes in 1 half lmao

**** I thought TVD was out for the season on Wisconsin’s roster. It’s WILD he transferred to Cuse for this game

It looks like Pitt is stealing signs. Perfect defense called every play.

Maybe we should start

Can't believe Syracuse came out of a bye week and didn't even try to establish the run on the road against Pitt and Narduzzi. Insane. McCord had been dropping back 50+ times a game in the first 6, what the **** did they think was gonna happen when they pllayed a real defense?

This is another good game for Miami to see. You FA you FO. Take no one for granted.

You never go full TVD.

Remembering when Fran Brown said he was going to send Day a bottle of champagne for letting McCord hit the portal.

In fairness to McCord, he’s been avg. 360 ypg on 65% & 3 TDs / 1 int per game this season prior to Pitt. Pitt is just having an unbelievable game at home today.

Took me a minute to get this joke. I'm not happy it did.

Look for the Cuse defense to respond with a couple of pick 6s for a wild pick 6 shootout in the 2nd half.

We passed that point several times already

We don’t need to keep doing this

I'm as guilty as anyone, but maybe the Stanford game should have been a red flag against Syracuse. Stanford has been blown out four straight times but went into the Carrier Dome and won.

They are also in zone a lot so the WR are running in front of their face. Lot easier than in man and always in chase mode

I saw a lot of man coverage. Their linebackers are a lot more active in coverage and change direction much quicker than I see 1 and 31 doing. Their DL gets off the snap so much faster than ours.

To me it seems like a mentality. Our defense seems too lazy or relaxed and hesitant. Maybe we are thinking too much or playing a complicated scheme.

At this point I think the ACC officials **** every call up on purpose

Amazing ball got spun like a top after several Pitt tds and no penalty
Or is that only a penalty when Miami does it

 

[Stingarov]

McChord isn't even seeing the defenders. He's like a robot throwing to whoever the first read is.

so me in CFB25 without my Vyvanse.

Pitt had a bye week and looks well prepared. They know the Syracuse playbook and they're playing fast.

 

[Trav]

Up 31-0 with 83 yards of total offense. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it.

Thanks to McCord giving them the ball 5 times.

This is Narduzzi's blueprint. He doesn't change. His corners play man and the safties play zone. He plays man even if the corners aren't good. He's been doing it for years. They rely on pressure up front and playing tight coverage. If they get beat. they get beat.

His philosophy is they'll win on defense more than they'll lose getting his defense off the field.
