FB: Pittsburgh 58, Duke 55

This pick 6 - he didn't even see the defender

[arnie]

Connette has just played his heart out, but he has made some absolutely terrible mistakes. That last pick was atrocious.

Are you referencing the awful pick at approximate. 3:31 or the awful pick 6 at approx 3:38 today?

and this one was just as bad...and resulted in 6 for pitt...he's just not a quality passer, and he's in a role where he needs to be, and the results have unfortunately shown....some great drives, some terrible drives...and credit to the receivers for making some great catches on underthrown balls

he's working his tail off to win games, but I think we all know that our season hinges on the ability to get a better passer under center

Hard to believe he hasn't given the freshman a single series- I don't think the redshirt issue should be a factor now

Based on the time that I wrote the post, I was referring to his 3rd pick of the day. His fourth was, well, bad. His first two picks of the game also gave Pitt their lead which they didn't really expand. Duke's defense was porous to say the least but the offense can't put them in positions where they have to save the day.

That brings us to 1117 combined yards.

Can't turn it over that much and expect to win. Unless you can force turnovers yourself...

[throatybeard]

Look on the bright side, folks. If Carl Franks were still coach, it would be 58-3 instead of 58-48.

[Mabdul Doobakus]

Wow. Fumbled punt. A quick strike here and Duke still has a shot.

[Dukehky]

So you're sayin there's a chance!!!!!

[FerryFor50]

Hey look! A turnover! Now punch it in!

[Mabdul Doobakus]

Crowder is electric.

So you're sayin there's a chance!!!!!

score a TD, kick it away, and the defense has stopped them for most of the half....get it back and kick the FG to tie

[Mabdul Doobakus]

Sure looks to me like Connette scored there. They would get 20 or so seconds back too.

[nyesq83]

Does Vegas know football odds? 58-54

[SCMatt33]

Why hasn't the clock reset???

yes sir.

so do we go onside with NO TO left, or do we let the defense do its job????

i vote for kicking it away

[Dukehky]

With no time outs, you gotta onside kick it. Cut is a ballsy old bastard, I'd be surprised if he kicked it away.

[nyesq83]

Does Vegas know football odds? 58-54 uh make that 58-55

[Dr. Rosenrosen]

Why hasn't the clock reset???

Right!!!!!!!!! There are at least 10 or 20 seconds that ticked off!!!
