Pitt Football

TWEETCAP: Pitt 45, Virginia 31

A game that was relatively painless, at least compared to the other games this season; that is to say, there was still a lot of pain, just not an absurd amount. You dig?

PREGAME

GAME DAY, PANTHER FANS! STAND AMONG THE ASHES OF A TRILLION DEAD SOULS AND ASK THE GHOSTS IF HONOR MATTERS

FIRST QUARTER

One first down, then UVA forced to punt after failing on third and 11. https://t.co/20EwPY9Lt1
— ChrisGrahamAFP (@AugFreePress) October 15, 2016

With a fourth and 10, back to back 5-yard penalties on Pitt’s punt team hands UVa a first down.
— Alan Saunders (@ASaunders_PGH) October 15, 2016

Pitt received the punt and the offense was on the field, then they threw a flag for illegal substitution. Only in Ron Cherry's America.

Wahoo-wa! Touchdown. @UVA Homecoming. Go hoos! pic.twitter.com/9wky8wLt9T
— Carol Sawdye (@carolsawdye) October 15, 2016

This already feels like 4th-quarter Pitt.
— Tony Jovenitti (@jovenitti) October 15, 2016

Pitt should field no players on this punt just to ensure they don't commit a penalty.

CAN WE TALK ABOUT JESTER WEAH?? I LIKE JESTER WEAH
— Lindsey Stafford (@LJStafford) October 15, 2016

There is nothing more surprising to me about this Pitt team than the emergence of Jester Weah. Didn't see it coming at all.

Pitt is bad??

BUT THEN

Hold serve and go for the 56-49 win

This might be the worst Pitt pass defense I've ever seen since becoming a fan in 2008
— JD Schroeder (@Sta7ic) October 15, 2016

For the love of God bench Terrish Webb.
— PittCabe (@PittCabe) October 15, 2016

Virginia throws it deep to take the lead in an early shootout in Charlottesville. 21-14 UVA
— WPTS Sports (@WPTSSports) October 15, 2016

Watching Pitts defense makes me question why I watch Pitt football.
— Pitt Enthusiast (@GrndCntl2MajTom) October 15, 2016

There is not sugar coating how bad this Pitt defense plays.

SECOND QUARTER

If, when Nar_uzzi was first hire_, you ha_ tol_ me Pitt woul_ score at the rate it has in 2016, I'_ have tol_ you Pitt woul_ win the Coastal
— Matt Zemek (@MattZemek) October 15, 2016

Hard to believe this game was 0-0 at one point.
— Dan Sostek (@dan_sostek) October 15, 2016

James Conner 1 yard touchdown run ties it up 21-21 with the point after. Key third down pass from Peterman to Orndoff on the drive.
— Jenn Menendez (@JennMenendez) October 15, 2016

I spelled Conner wrong

Hey, at least Pitt has finally learned how to commit pass interference without letting the other team catch that ball. Baby steps!
— Tony Jovenitti (@jovenitti) October 15, 2016

The PAT is good. UVA leads, 28-21. #PITTvsUVA
— Virginia Football (@UVa_Football) October 15, 2016

NICE https://t.co/cn2oJerMkg
— IAmKILLY (@IAmSpilly) October 15, 2016

Go for it

Absolute no-brainer there if you've watched the defense play this season.

IT'S BACK

CHRIS BLEWITT TWEETS FOR SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2016

*blewitt jokes ensue*
— spooky eliza (@NotTheRealEliza) October 15, 2016

amazed every time commentators talk about Blewitt missing a FG and don't make jokes about living up to his name
— Tara Jerry (@tara_jerry) October 15, 2016

I will miss the puns with Blewitt's name and that's about it.
— Chris (@ThunderPittRoad) October 15, 2016

(that was a long distance and tough angle for him, and he just barely missed. but still...) HE BLEWITT!
— James Santelli (@JamesSantelli) October 15, 2016

He Blewitt

— Cornelius Bradley (@CorneliusBradle) October 15, 2016

Bam Bradley has played well with Caprara out the past two weeks. Big third-down sack.
— Lance Lysowski (@LLysowski) October 15, 2016

Ejuan Price down noooooo
— Mike (@85mf) October 15, 2016

If Juan Price is seriously hurt, you should probably cancel the remainder of the season.

#DefensiveStruggle
— Chris Peak (@PantherLair) October 15, 2016

Go for it here. Pitt can get a yard.
— Jim Hammett (@JimHammett) October 15, 2016

Dumb call. Conner would've easily gotten a yard.
— Jim Hammett (@JimHammett) October 15, 2016

Best of luck to all the Baggies fans participating in the #birminghamhalfmarathon tomorrow morning! #WBA

FOURTH QUARTER

THESE BIG BOYS SURE LOVE TO ROUGHHOUSE
— PITT BSKTBL SHOUTING (@N_THEYSTAYTHERE) October 15, 2016

Attention ACC teams: when you have 3rd or 4th and 1, do not run up the middle on @PITTMAN_54 , it won't end well on your part #H2P #BeatH2P
— The Panther Pitt (@ThePantherPitt) October 15, 2016

— JD Schroeder (@Sta7ic) October 15, 2016

Peterman-to-Aston shovel pass on third-and-goal from 5 gives #Pitt 42-28 lead at #UVa. 9:47 left. Three unanswered TDs from Panthers.
— David Teel (@DavidTeelatDP) October 15, 2016

The number of times I have said, just stop right here and u will be fine. #Pitt #H2P
— Chris Bruno (@BrunoPittsburgh) October 15, 2016

The last few drives the defense has looked... I don't know, what's the opposite of "terrible as always"?
— Mike (@85mf) October 15, 2016

James Conner on defensive!!
— Justin Kappert (@J_Kapp_09) October 15, 2016

James Conner playing DE AND ALMOST GETS THE SACK!!
— Carlo Veltri (@vetchy119) October 15, 2016

Arujo Lopes has been good today
— Mike Tam (@mike10003) October 15, 2016

Just a dumb penalty by Andrew Brown. Crappy end to a crappy day. #UVA
— Ed M. (@writered21) October 15, 2016

How stupid is that by Virginia....whistles clearly blew...15-yard penalty for unnecessary roughness...or 15 yards for STUPIDY
— Bob Pompeani (@KDPomp) October 15, 2016

Field Goal is GOOD: Chris Blewitt's 25-yard FG gives Pitt a 45-28 lead over Virginia with 3:21 left in the fourth quarter
— Pitt News Sports (@pittnewssports) October 15, 2016

Pitt gave up 21 points in the first quarter, and then one TD in 2nd. Quarter. Nothing since
— JD Schroeder (@Sta7ic) October 15, 2016

AND THEN VIRGINIA MADE A FIELD GOAL

I wanted the second half shutout
— JD Schroeder (@Sta7ic) October 15, 2016

FINAL: PITT 45, VIRGINIA 31

Fire up the Second Half Victory Lights!!!
— Souf Oaklin fo' Life (@Souf_Oaklin) October 15, 2016

Great win. See you at 5-5 in a month
