I just heard Hillgrove call the 33–14 score a “21 point lead” for Pitt.

Is Pitt's backup OL better than the starters?

btw does anyone have any actual thoughts on the VT game?

As disenchanted as I've been with the way the team has played, I'd love to see them just blow VT's doors off tomorrow for two reasons:

No ACC team gets more undeserved media love than VT. They've been Pitt-like in terms of mediocrity over the last nine years. Since 2011 ended, they've had one 10-win season and one 9-win season, yet somehow every year it seems like they get some stupid preseason top 15-20 ranking and a top 3-4 ranking in the ACC. I'm convinced that half the ACC media that votes in these polls still thinks Michael Vick is VT's quarterback.

Also, I'm still not over the Bud Foster Memorial Broadcast from last year. ESPN's crews have long abandoned actually researching teams, stats, and rosters in favor or over-driven narratives for years now, but that broadcast last year reset the bar for embarrassing and cringe-inducing. The monsoon that game was played in did much more to stifle Pitt's already one-dimensional offense than anything BUD FOSTER CREATOR OF DEFENSE did on the sidelines, but you wouldn't have known that from the broadcast because defense and lunchpails never existed before Bud Foster came along. What a joke.

AJ Davis isn't good but I hope he finds whatever made him a 4-star recruit and channels it into a Hall/Ollison-against-VT-in-2018 level game tomorrow, complete with the soul-shattering stiff arm.

I hope Pickett throws for 500 yards and 4 TDs.

I hope Brandon Hill gets two pick-6s and just for this game, they have a Turnover Lunchpail that says "BUD FOSTER WAS OVERRATED" on it and use that on the Turnover Dunk instead of the football.

AJ Davis even had some nice runs H2P

How can they pitt away this lead?

How can they pitt away this lead?

Not getting DJ Turner his 16th reception is extremely Pitt-like.

Congrats on beating a team that's quit on their raging a-hole coach.
