TWEETCAP: Youngstown State 37, Pitt 45

Pitt Twitter shakes the cobwebs off and tries to ignore the creeping feeling of dread that comes with a Youngstown State game. Also, Penn State lost! To TEMPLE! Right on, Temple!

FIRST QUARTER

3 players already slipped on a play for Pitt. Odd

YSU doesn't seem to having any issues with footing.
— Chris Peak (@PantherLair) September 5, 2015

This looks eerily familiar...

SECOND QUARTER

Hat trick for Grigsby, gets sack on third down. Made plays on all three YSU snaps. Also, that's his second sack.
— Jerry DiPaola (@JDiPaola_Trib) September 5, 2015

Grigsby is having himself a GAME! Two sacks already! #H2P

— Pitt Football (@GoPittFootball) September 5, 2015

So I'm going with Narduzzi wanted Peterman to get reps in meaningful time instead of against a spent defense... I hope

James Conner receiving some attention from the trainers on the #Pitt sideline

BECAUSE PITT IS BAD YET MY TEAM CAN'T SCORE ANY POINTS https://t.co/AtKbWd3fJ9
— Fake Bo Pelini (@FauxPelini) September 5, 2015

Ouch! Voytik threw a bad one for a Pick-Six. Pitt now leads 17-13.
— Ray Porter Jr. (@urbanmediaRay) September 5, 2015

Yup. Pitt gotta Pitt.
— PittCabe (@PittCabe) September 5, 2015

BUT THEN

They keep testing Maddox and Maddox keeps winning.

THIRD QUARTER

It's just never, ever easy.
— Gavin Williams (@GavWill13) September 5, 2015

YSU with a sack and fumble recovery. The play is under review. If it stands, YSU will have the ball at the Pitt 9.
— Pitt Football (@GoPittFootball) September 5, 2015

Nice to see Bo continuing his tradition of losing it on his coaches at Youngstown
— Renny Vandewege (@RennyV) September 5, 2015

Voytik has been Youngstown State's best player

And Blewitt misses for Pitt. There're a couple jokes in there
— Adam Kowalski (@AdamK_93) September 5, 2015

His name is Blewitt? Not a good thing for an athlete.. maybe even worse for a neuro - surgeon. .
— Todd Iams (@toddiams3) September 5, 2015

Ollison though

FOURTH QUARTER

It's 109 degrees out at 3:45pm on a Saturday. It's the start of the 4th quarter of your team's home opener. Let's go sit in a bus!! #Pitt
— Mike Drakulich (@PghSportsNation) September 5, 2015

The irony of seeing these #4Quarters shirts already back on campus... #Pitt
— Matthew Johnson (@MattyJ_5) September 5, 2015

THEY RAN THE GUYS RUNNING INTO EACH OTHER FOR A TD PLAY AGAIN
— all-american zach (@CzarOfPgh) September 5, 2015

The lol is really the key part here. https://t.co/jLN0wnsNeg
— Anson Whaley (@AnsonWhaley) September 5, 2015

Qadree Ollison goes BEAST MODE and set Chad Voytik up for a 1 yard QB sneak for a touchdown! 45-30 Pitt with 4:38 left in the game! #H2P
— The Panther Pitt (@ThePantherPitt) September 5, 2015

Ollison is spectacular. So is Chris James. So is James Conner obviously. And then there's Rachid Ibrahim back next year. Wow.
— Corey Cohen (@CoreyECohen) September 5, 2015

Apparently the defense is as #4Quarters as the student section.
— PittScript (@PittScript) September 5, 2015

FINAL: YOUNGSTOWN STATE 37, PITT 45

Pitt ends the game with a sack and wins 45-37! #H2P

The layers of the earth are the crust, the mantle, the outer core, the pulverized Christian Hackenberg, and the inner core.
— OLIVER 3STACKS (@edsbs) September 5, 2015

Penn State dude just stood up at the bar and spiked his phone.
— Sean Gentille (@seangentille) September 5, 2015

Christian Hackenberg got sacked on a 2-man rush, which pretty much sums up Penn State's day: http://t.co/pJ50vJy6Ls pic.twitter.com/Ic6mjnoodu
— Lost Lettermen (@LostLettermen) September 5, 2015

Penn State isn't just losing they're getting wrecked
— JD Schroeder (@Sta7ic) September 5, 2015

They have to play Michigan State and Ohio State on the road. Faking your own death is an OPTION, Christian Hackenberg.
— OLIVER 3STACKS (@edsbs) September 5, 2015

.@CoachHand Nice job today coach.
