Game One: Pitt

Post by dennisdent » Sat Sep 04, 2021 10:51 am

Game starts in four hours so it might be time for this topic!

Can't even guess what the score will be with all changes to the team this fall. This is year three for Bell and he will finally be calling the plays, time to see how it goes.

Go UMass!

Just hoping we hold Pitt to under 28pts...That should mean we control the ball a lot more than previous seasons, which would be a big improvement. I also hope to win Mass Millions this week.
All due respect, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart, I'm gonna pass.

The Line has been UMASS +38 since mid August. O/U is 56. Hoping that UMass looks improved over when we last saw them against Liberty in November. Tough opening matchup but hoping for the best - which is keeping the game competitive through halftime and hoping to force a few turnovers. :D

28 points allowed would be huge progress towards respectability. One can dream.

We could use an offensive line but Watts made an excellent tackle

Defense is playing hard. No pass rush but they are playing a prevent type defense which seems to be confusing Pitt.

Offense is garbage. Defense is playing tough but will wear down with all the 3 and outs. Eventually the coaches will figure out they need to max protect even on passing downs.

Most high schools have a better punting game.

Wash, rinse, repeat.
Raise the bar, do the minimum.

The offensive line can’t block shit so they put in 4 wide and try to run up the middle
