PITT Can Beat The Hoopies If....
Posted: November 15th, 2006, 9:46 am
.....one of the following happens:
- Doc Brown shows up at practice with a DeLorean complete with the flux capacitor, goes back to 1980, and returns with Hugh Green, Ricky Jackson, Bill Neil, Jerry Boyarsky, Greg Meisner and Tom Flynn (yes, even as a freshman). I have a feeling this team needs a lot more than 1.21 Jiggawatts to get going.
- Steve Slaton and Pat White pull a Joepa, get such a severe case of the fire squirts that they spend the whole game on the can in the trainer's room
- WVU's starting and backup Oline gets busted on a St. John's like stripper rampage through McKees Rocks and ends up at the county slammer.
- WVU turns into Turnoversburgh and coughs it up 4 or 5 times. Pitt would have to be at least +4 in the turnover margin to even be in the game.... at halftime. In other words, there is no possible way Pitt beats WVU. WVU could, however, possibly beat themselves. Actually, no that isn't going to happen either.
- Darrel Strong not being around to tip catchable balls into the other teams' hands should help matters, but if one of the 4 points above doesn't happen, Pitt should lose about 56-17.
Yea Vman eating some crow after the U Conn debacle....I had predicted that T Palko would come through this year & lead this squad. He has done his part & more....after going 20 - 25... is probably again near the top of qb rating/efficiency in the country! But the D is outright awful & their base 4-3 with the lbs 9 yds. off & safetys about 25 yds deep is kinda not working... & if they don't fire Rhoads sooner than later, they are all incompetent idiots! For heaven's sake, UConn had 340 yds rushing & over 500 Total & guess what, the qb who orchestrated most of those yds. is not that good!!!!
I am still for giving DW 3-4 yrs. but how can he (with all his experience on the defensive side) allow the schematic issues to persist....now i know talent & inexperince concerns are evident but try some changes...
I'd put Fields @ safety & play him on the line while locking the 2 corners (their strength anyway), & keep 8 in box all game & blitz from different angles every play....@ least I'd try something!
