PREGAME
I was busy trying to get ESPN3 to work. Seriously.
FIRST QUARTER
I like ESPN3 broadcasts because it feels like I'm watching football in 1981.

This ESPN3 coverage is turrible
— all-american zach (@CzarOfPgh) September 12, 2015
ESPN3 play-by-play guy: "Louisville beat Auburn." O'Brien: "No they didn't." PBP: "Well Louisville was up early and gave up lead." (Nope).
— Larry Williams (@LarryWilliamsTI) September 12, 2015
http://t.co/uZpmlWNNlY feed is gorgeous. Seriously ESPN3, you are terrible at your job.
— NunesMagician.com (@NunesMagician) September 12, 2015
Dear ESPN3, please use a camera angle that is straight on for displaying the game clock. Thanks, Pitt fans.

Pitt-Akron is being broadcast live with an iPad2 camera from the window of a nearby dorm.

This ESPN3 game coverage might be the worst thing I've watched since film strips in middle school from 1970.
— Gavin Williams (@GavWill13) September 12, 2015
Legit sad I'm missing the ESPN equivalent of a high school morning announcements show broadcast

DO THE GUYS CONTROLLING THE BROADCAST KNOW IT'S 30% OF THEIR GRADE? JUST BECAUSE IT'S AN ELECTIVE DOESN'T MEAN IT DOESN'T COUNT ON YOUR GPA

SECOND QUARTER
This game has the worst rhythm to it in that it has absolutely no rhythm whatsoever.
— Aaron Lake (@aaronelake) September 12, 2015
Can already tell this is a game we'll never speak of again

— Jon (@Jplan72) September 12, 2015
Blewitt lol
— Erin Everett (@Erin_Everett) September 12, 2015
How ironic is it that Pitts kicker's last name is "blewitt"? Lol he just missed the field goal, he blew it
— bontempo (@mik3_wazowski) September 12, 2015
He Blewitt
— Matt Schmidlin (@moose141) September 12, 2015
@ASmathers_SV you could say he Blewitt!!!!!!!
— Shaun Dougherty (@Shaunthehugo) September 12, 2015
There were dozens more, I just got bored.
TURNOVER!!!!!!
— Two Votes?! (@TheWillardYears) September 12, 2015
(Akron Turnover)
So...you've got a running quarterback, are playing two QBs, and ... you go with the passing QB on a 4th and 3. Seems legit.
— Anson Whaley (@AnsonWhaley) September 12, 2015
(Pitt Turnover)
Same ole Pitt!!!! I love it . Way to be down to Akron! #wakeup
— Mike Warren (@MWarren18) September 12, 2015
#Pitt does realize they're playing AKRON right now, right? Shouldn't be this hard. #PittvsAkron
— Kim Speier (@krspeier) September 12, 2015
The bottom line is that Coach Narduzzi will either need to recruit more talent or he's going to fail like his predecessors.
— Gavin Williams (@GavWill13) September 12, 2015
And Nate Peterman is back in at QB for #Pitt
— Chris Peak (@PantherLair) September 12, 2015
Please stick with peterman. Or not. Just stick with someone and let him get comfortable.
— all-american zach (@CzarOfPgh) September 12, 2015
Peterman wins the QB job b/c he threw a TD pass to a TE on purpose

THIRD QUARTER
Looks like we have a new QB in for the second half. https://t.co/jA6c3GOapu
— Two Votes?! (@TheWillardYears) September 12, 2015
Haha, all the complaining about the clock has apparently forced ESPN to remove it completely
— Anson Whaley (@AnsonWhaley) September 12, 2015
Slanted clock was better than no clock

I'm convinced his broadcast partner is actually for Kansas City Chiefs player Deron Cherry and he's just gotten his name wrong all night.

FINAL: PITTSBURGH 24, AKRON 7
I mean Narduzzi did something Chryst never could do: beat Youngstown State and Akron.
— Jess (@pittjess11) September 13, 2015
In the end that's all that matters #H2P
— The Panther Pitt (@ThePantherPitt) September 13, 2015
2-0 !
— James Conner ️ (@JamesConner_) September 13, 2015
Just so the college football world is aware, next week, two juggernauts will meet. 2-0 Iowa hosts 2-0 Pitt. PREPARE YOURSELVES.
