Pittsburgh 9/7 12:00 ESPN2

[Lobot]

I doubt that last Saturday's results are indicative of much. Towson are very well coached; probably middle-of-the-pack FCS. The Golden Flashes are, per Sagarin, the second-worst FBS team in the country, ahead of only woeful UMass. KSU won once in 2023, over CCSU, a terrible FCS squad. The Flashes are picked last again in the MAC.

Different week; different opponent; different game plan. CSS won't run 75 players out there again, 34 of which are new to the program.

I wonder how much of the 75 players was player evaluation and how much was don't give PItt enough tape, particularly on defense. I expect us to be more aggressive this week on D.

WCPO-9 launched "Bearcat All-Access" last Saturday morning, it air will every week @ 11:30AM. Satterfield stated before the Towson game he intended to give as many players as possible playing time for evaluation and experience. This strategy was evident on defense and particularly at the RB position.

yep. but i do think the rbs (behind that veteran line) did good - what, 6 or 7 rbs got carries?

I hate to jump ahead but does anyone know what time the kick-off will be for the Houston game on Sept. 21? I have a few community obligations that day and want to know if I need to decommit. Thanks.

TBD by that weekend's B12 TV schedule, which they normally announce within ten days or fewer before kickoff.

Thanks. If anyone cares that day is the clean up the Great Miami River day. Does anyone want to walk the river and pick trash with my company?

I’m interested-what time?

[Lobot]

Red lids, Red Jersey and it appear to be white pants on Saturday. Outside of the throwback Reds with shoulder stripes from a few years ago, I can remember seeing this uniform combo before anytime recently

Is that a normal work-day where people can take off? We are doing river clean-ups Tue and Wed that week, but the river could use attention every day for weeks to get all of the trash. Thanks for volunteering!

The marketing and honoring of the 2008 Pitt win has me nervous. I completely understanding honoring it but with the state of our program, I feel like this will have unintended consequences for the state of the fanbase. It could point to arguable to highest of high’s for our program, while at same time demonstrating a product on the field that’s far from it. Here’s to hoping the product is building back towards the 2008 product but this feels like the fanbase is being set up for a big let down from the start to finish of this game when viewing from the perspective of where we’ve been to where we are.

I get why you feel that way. I'm a little nervous about this one. I think this game will tell us a lot about Satterfield's focus on winning at home this season and his ability to motivate the team. I'm hoping the team uses the 2008 celebration for motivation.

Pitt isn't the program is used to be either at this point in time. I'm kind of shocked Narduzzi is still there after last season to be honest. However, all indications are that they fixed the offensive scheme problems from last season with the new OC and QB.

Narduzzi will be in for a shock when he sees the stadium and fan support I suspect. I don't think he's been back in any capacity since Dantonio took him to MSU.

Pat Narduzzi's first contact with UC football included a major blunder. While his dad, Bill, was head coach at YSU in 1985, Pat was a starting LB as a freshman. I attended the UC-YSU game in Youngstown that year, and it was a nail-biter. The Penguins scored in the final 1:30 or so to take a 27-22 lead.

The Bearcats were able to drive inside the YSU 5 and, with no TO's left, they reached the 1. Reggie Taylor took a handoff and tried to dive over the pile at the goal line. The line judges marked him short, and the clock was still running. There was no way to get off another play. Narduzzi to the rescue. He laid on top of Taylor and wouldn't let him get up. The ref stopped the clock and allowed UC to line up. Taylor's next dive succeeded. Final: UC 29-27.
