Well, since everyone else seems to be at the game, I'll go ahead and start this late (almost to the half).
BG looks like they've been caught off guard by Pitt's ability to run the ball. Right now, Pitt is smacking BG in the face and BG doesn't have an answer. The Pitt QB is also finding some wide open receivers.
On offense, BG isn't able to run at all, and Pitt is able to key on Johnson. So the passing game hasn't been effective at all.
BG had one good series, but hasn't done much otherwise.
I hope they can make some good adjustments at half, or the losing streak is going to continue in bowl games.
I also don't like the kickoff that is short and high. Teams always seem to get burned doing that and BG sure did.

Re: Game thread
Poor blocking, poor routes, a horrible punt and coverage, and a really bad kickoff and coverage.
Who is the interim coach again? Oh yeah...the SPECIAL TEAMS COACH.
I guess maybe he neglected that aspect of his duties this past month. You can credit all 14 of Pitt's touchdown points to its special teams so far; or rather, the poor play of BG's special teams.

It's not the fall that hurts...it's when you hit the ground.

Re: Game thread
Let Dino coach the second half! This staff has had it's ass handed to them!

All 3 phases are horrible
Re: Game thread
That's the problem with interim staffs and coaches who aren't staying. You have to wonder how much their heads and hearts are really into a game like this. Yeah, I know, they're supposed to be professionals. But honestly, they're probably just wanting this game over so they can get moved to Wake Forest and start their jobs there.
I have to believe this affects the players on some level, too. It sure looks like it has, at least to this point.

Re: Game thread
Most surprising thing is our O-line not be able to give Johnson any time.

We've been a second half team all year. Hopefully that continues.

I love them. I bet tons of people do. I would be all for making it an official color. How does it look with brown?
