Fast Start...
Fast Start...
UConn ran the I-formation on 1st down and managed to get 6 yards.
Pitt's defense seems to be selling out against the idea that UConn might actually be able to put together a coherent drive, so no real direction here yields another big gain in the air. Huskies driving and arriving in the red zone.

"That powerful Husky offense....", he said, neglecting to mention the 16.6 points per game average, or the Connecticuit defense, which is best in the Big East at 290 yards yielded per game on average. Both are showing up here.
EDIT: Pitt rushes three, gives up 27 yards. That's 9 yards per missed assignment.

Was it that they took about 1/10th of the game to get into FG range on one drive, the missed FG, or a bit of both?

And So It Goes...
And So It Goes...
Run for a couple yards, run for a couple yards, sack. Sunseri shines on that drive.
...and the Huskies return the resulting punt for a TD thanks to some...hell...what kind of lane coverage was that now? Anyway, 17-0 UConn now.
EDIT: UConn starts to roll out the odd option play, possibly telling the Pitt defense, "We're going to do all sorts of sh*t...try to stop it." On 4th and 4, they punt and pin Pitt deep in safety territory.
DOUBLE EDIT: To be fair, Pitt did a quite a bit of bending before it finally broke. After a review, 24-0 UConn after the PAT.

Pitt's speciality...
Pitt's speciality...
is ripping the heart out of its students/alumni/fans. They've found that the most effective way of achieving this is winning/playing lights out football against top teams while losing to inferior squads.
If you look back to last week's ND/Pitt thread, I called a win against ND plus a loss to UConn. It's just what Pitt Football will do, pretty much every time.
Go Blue!

Story bro. I met Sunseri at a friend's house in Pittsburgh after they beat Temple two weeks ago. He seemed like a good dude. Rooting for him.

I was just happy we made it a game after being down by so much...Still can't believe we didn't go for the onside kick at the end of the game but whatever. We won the second half, just not the first.

They can languish in Indiana-type mediocrity for all time and my universe would be unmoved.

I may have the most unbridled appetite for Pitt schadenfreude of anyone on the planet these days.

our university's athletic strategy than the inventor of The Noid
David Brandon did not invent the Noid. The Noid was created in 1986 by local Ann Arbor ad agency Group 243, which at the time was essentially the agency of record for Domino's.
David Brandon joined Valassis Communications in 1979 and worked there until he stepped down as CEO in 1998.

Yes.
Yes.
And I still believe that Group 243 should be our AD, fergodsakes.
