Week 6: Notre Dame def. Pittsburgh, 23-17

  Pleased with the way ND is playing right now.
  
  I agree. If they can come up with a big turnover...or force a 3 and out and then score quickly, Pitt will start to fold it up.

  Sherm, did you get those reds tickets yet?
• karen lotz

  

  lol, and I just got your PM. It was looking good for you early last night, then the wheels fell off.
• sherm03

  

  After Phillips scored on the sacrifice, I was all ready to start writing the check.
  
  Then the collapse hit. I haven't sworn that much since the Notre Dame/Michigan State game a few weeks ago.

  Pitt is a hot mess.

  Tom Hammond is bad. Really bad.
• sherm03

  

  Tom Hammond sucks as bad as Pitt and Boston College's offenses combined.
• karen lotz

  

  Great call by Diaco on that blitz. Blanton does a great job on those but he really could have done some damage there if he actually made contact.

  It's too bad Hayden couldn't have taken Hammond with him to USC, I'm sure he could use some help in the compliance department.

  Michigan State up 2 TD's on Michigan.
  
  Makes that fake FG in OT loss sting even more. They've got a pretty good team in East Lansing this year.

  Tom Hammond has the skull of a water buffalo.

  No doubt. But it's nice to see that with the exception of the Stanford loss...ND was in those games and had to a chance to win both of them.

  What kind of offense is Pitt running? How many quick screens to a 270 pound fullback can you run?

  Seriously. LOL
• killer_ewok

  

  Pitt is moving the ball though. In the redzone now.
• karen lotz

  

  Yeah ND had a chance to stop them on that two handed chest pass on 3rd and 10 but Lewis gave them a shot at picking up 4th down.
• killer_ewok

  

  20-10 ND now. Sunseri scores on the bootleg.
• karen lotz

  

  Damn. Good drive by Pitt there and a good play call. Offense is going to have to get back in that rhythm. This game needs to be put away.
• sherm03

  

  Defense did not look good on that series at all.
  
  The offense needs to have a nice sustained drive for 6 here to give the defense a breather.
• killer_ewok

  

  3rd and 14 and you throw it to Rudolph well short of the sticks? WTF
• karen lotz

  

  Damn it. Cave with a dumb penalty. At least Turk flips the field position.
• killer_ewok

  

  Yeah but Sunseri has some confidence after that last drive. Big series here for the defense.

  No kidding. Why not give Floyd a chance to make a play? He has been doing a solid job beating coverage today and just had the big gain. Where has Riddick gone?

  Riddick is a YAC guy too. They were getting him quick hitters earlier in the game and he was making guys miss and turning it into decent gains. Not sure why they've went away from that.
  
  I'm starting to get that 2008 feeling. Hope it's just the flu.

  Puntin' time for the Panthers. Good job by the D there.
