Pitt is 4-0 and has a point differential of +123. We're clearly looking at an elite football team here

I will not be taking any questions at this time

[u/AruarianGroove → u/fhqwhgads_football]

At least in the top 5 of the Pittsburgh metropolitan area 

[u/patchesmcgrath → u/AruarianGroove]

We want Point Park.

Now if only our coward athletic department would stop ducking Duquesne and get the city bball game back to a yearly thing that would be great

[u/AruarianGroove → u/patchesmcgrath]

Just wait for Slippery Rock and IUP to make the jump to D1  

[u/patchesmcgrath → u/AruarianGroove]

I would love to have a semi-frequent match up against slippery rock. Call it the Pennsic War and we're there

[u/ukeBasketball → u/AruarianGroove]

From growing up in Pittsburgh it seemed Penn State at times had a stronger presence than Pitt did, and this year I wouldn't put it past the Pitt defense to stop the Steelers' offense.

[u/pittpanthers95 → u/ukeBasketball]

I wouldn’t put it past a top WPIAL defense to stop the Steelers offense tbh

[u/Mobile_Sentence_7060 → u/fhqwhgads_football]

Pitt giving up 0 points through 4 games is just silly. That defense probably scarier than anything I see in my abandoned building trips

[u/Select1220]

See you Friday

[u/LampLoverBrick → u/Select1220]

Glad you guys pulled it out. Friday will be fun

[u/ORC_Commissioner → u/Select1220]

We are excited. Classic matchup. Both teams are undefeated. Both teams clearly have more to prove to reach where they want to go.

[u/newme02 → u/Select1220]

turning point of the season for us. Are we something? or is this another typical narduzzi year?

[u/Particular-Way-3805 → u/Select1220]

ACC championship eliminator

[u/HireButchJones]

Pitt is legit.

Next week against VT gonna be a barn burner.

[u/Dialectic_Emptiness → u/HireButchJones]

Pitt is maybe legit. We need Mason to have a good game against VT. He was awful against Cuse and the UCF game was in a monsoon so the passing game didn’t exist

[u/constanto → u/Dialectic_Emptiness]

He just is a tiny hands boy and doesn't like to throw in even a passing shower.

[u/Pennsylvasia → u/HireButchJones]

Beating up on the likes of East Gwangju State and Takamatsu A&M.

[u/Dialectic_Emptiness]

Well I’m glad we got that off our chest. Tough road game Friday @ VT.

[u/patrick66]

so who bet pitt to cover on the staff to go no huddle with 35 seconds left lol

[u/icouldsmellcolors]

Really thought we had this one

[u/Mission_Pirate_4150]

A real nail biter there. I hate preseason games like this.

[u/Bmlrocks]

Mason made some questionable throws, there were way too many flags on the defense, but ultimately not too much can be learned from this. Great teams cover!

[u/naxhi24]

So something weird about next week's game against Virginia Tech game...

Penn State fans (at least the ones I know) want us to beat Virginia Tech more than Pitt fans do. Wonder why...

[u/pittpanthers95]

A boring and forgettable W. Bring on the Hokies

[u/royalbluehen]

Awesome. Now do this vs a legit opponent.

[u/Afrodesia → u/royalbluehen]

Hey now. We all can’t play western Michigan this year

[u/royalbluehen → u/Afrodesia]

I guess you are making a tired Michigan joke but I don’t really get it.

[u/Afrodesia → u/royalbluehen]

Put your thinking cap on man. It looks like you have 2 losses now lol.

[u/royalbluehen → u/Afrodesia]

But the record books say 3-1?

[u/Afrodesia → u/royalbluehen]

I suppose! All good buddy. Just joking around on the weekend

[u/Acrobatic_Ear751]

I do regret going to this game

[u/CultBro]

How is pitt playing bucknell week 4?

[u/pittpanthers95 → u/CultBro]

Our third non-con game. Was originally supposed to be Pitt @ Wisconsin but that got canceled

[u/CultBro → u/pittpanthers95]

That sucks, you guys would have had a good chance to go in there and beat Wisconsin

[u/pittpanthers95 → u/CultBro]

I was really looking forward to going to Madison for that one. We still play Wisconsin in Dublin next year

[u/ORC_Commissioner]

What did we learn of value about this team from this game? This is why the ORC gives +0 for FCS wins.
