I’m really impressed with Beasley’s improvement.

Agree x1000. I was nervous about his tackling but he’s looked great thus far

 

[jakez4ut]

Fair enough. Pass rush just seemed to be more effective in the 2nd half.

Slovis beat it pretty much every time... Yes. But he was picking himself up of the ground a lot...

Ultimately he left the game because our defense beat the **** out of him. So they get credit for that.

Big difference last year too this year. Agreed

 

[Jack Burton]

W against a top 20 team on the road? The defending ACC champs? In year 2? AND we played terrible and had to fight our way back?

I’m pumped. GBO

We should have had an easier time with their starting QB out though. I’ll take the W anyway.

West Virginia is tied with Kansas at 28 in 3rd quarter. Not sure it has any meaning with us, but we definitely need clean up our offense, defense and special teams. We were fortunate to win today. But a win is a win. We punished Pitt’s qbs. We did not play soft.

 

[BigSteve09]

To be in Pittsburgh tonight. To the folks who went - live it up!!

Chance you take if you are Pitt not protecting your quarterback. Hitting the qb paid dividends for us today. This is lost in college football for some reason

Yup. Patti was gimpy too. Fair argument could be made we were more physical on defense than they were on offense.

 

[drvenner]

Did we break the backup QB curse? You gosh durned right we did.

Oh no argument. You're gonna let us hit the kid? Ok..

I have so many emotions right now. We tried our hardest to blow this game but I'm proud of how we played until the end. So many times over the years when we explode we continue to do so and lose the game.

Quick Observations:

Thought we should have tried to run the ball more but Pitt did a really good job stopping the run. Also, if Wright can't hold on to the ball he can't play. 2 fumbles in 2 games.

I haven't seen Tillman drop so many passes ever. Despite that he had 9 for 162 with like 1000 targets. I think we need to get McCoy more targets going forward, spread the wealth. Hyatt with 11 grabs but couldn't get him deep to use his speed.

Defensively we couldn't stop the run and we missed so many tackles. Slovis was carving us up early but I haven't seen our defense run around and hit so violently in years. And the defense deserves the gameball, best defensive effort against a quality opponent in quite some time. We need Mitchell back or force Herring to grow up quick bc we need help at LB. Burrell played better but somebody (Turnage, Charles) need to step up. But I'll take 4/18 on 3rd down anyway.

Overall tho, I'm happy as hell lol. We played a C+ game and won on the road against a ranked team while beating up their starting and backup QB.

Last year we lost three games where our winning margin TD was taken off the scoreboard.

Today in OT, our winning TD was taken off the board. And we scored again the very next play! (I look at that as yet another broken curse.)

 

[TN-POSSUM]

To Marshall and Appalachian State:

Great job today. I'm glad you're not on our schedule

 

[TrippieRedd]

Win is a win, and against a top 25 team. Boom

Texas A&M lost, great day so far!

[Glitch]

Hmmm, looks like a Glitch to me

 

[YNWAvols]

No big injuries tonight either, right?

 

[RiseToTheTop]

A&M lost to App st., and ND lost to Marshall. We played like dookie amd won on the road against a top 25 team. I’ll take it!

Oh, and OU is down 3-0 in the second quarter. It’s a good day, mostly.

And that was a big swing type of game for us when we look back at the end of the yr. Take it, enjoy it and regroup next week. We move.

I’m really impressed with Beasley’s improvement.

Led the team in tackles with 9 solo and 6 assists. He was everywhere tonight. Best performance we’ve seen from him in a UT jersey, IMO.

 

[#Vol4Life1991]

#6, #8 and either the #20 or #12 will go down, plus we beat the #17 team, we should LEAP in the polls

Byu and baylor play. Uk and fl playing now. We shouldn’t expect a sizable jump.

 

[drvenner]

Pressure the qb. He will panick. Lets go D!

Prophetic
