Kind of sad Pitt's endzone looks 100x better at its bowl game then it does at home. https://t.co/P7KsEPl5km

A TON of Pitt fans in the NY subway. A "PI-TT" chant just broke out and it was deafening. #H2P

TRUEFACT: Northwestern was invited to the Pinstripe Bowl so New York folk could continuously own them about pizza

Tyrique Jarrett starting at nose tackle for Pitt, and gets some pressure to help force a three-and-out on the first series.

— Brian Batko (@BrianBatko) December 28, 2016

FIELD GOAL is GOOD: Chris Blewitt drills a 46-yard FG to give Pitt a 3-0 lead over Northwestern with 11:53 left in the first quarter.

— Pitt News Sports (@pittnewssports) December 28, 2016

the Pinstripe Bowl announcers are astonished over Blewitt making that kick, apparently having never seen Pitt play Georgia Tech

— Carter (@MagnaCarterLive) December 28, 2016

Three drives in & yet to hear any @N_THEYSTAYTHERE Pinstripe Bowl baseball metaphors in broadcast. Almost as if his article wasn't serious.

— Anson Whaley (@AnsonWhaley) December 28, 2016

Pitt just tried a lineman pass with the @piesmantrophy winner Brian O'Neill. Didn't work, still awesome.

— Inside NU (@insidenu) December 28, 2016

Brian O'Neill, vencedor do Piesman Trophy, tentando o passe. Sensacional!

Only George Aston can stop George Aston from scoring a TD

— Tommy Edamame (@smagotes) December 28, 2016

#Pitt has been in the red zone twice today - and has 3 points to show for it.

— Chris Peak (@PantherLair) December 28, 2016

That 68-yard run moved Northwestern’s Justin Jackson past Ezekiel Elliott for 20th in #B1G career rushing history.

— Brian Pedersen (@realBJP) December 28, 2016

Justin. Jackson. #B1GCats

Wow. This is basically the opposite of the entire season - moving the ball at will and pissing away points in the red zone.

— Gavin Williams (@GavWill13) December 28, 2016

Maybe Nate's worst pass of the season.

— Chris (@ThunderPittRoad) December 28, 2016

#Pitt has been in the red zone on every possession today and has a total of 3 points to show for it.

— Chris Peak (@PantherLair) December 28, 2016

It's an impressive feat to have no coverage but also no pressure. Pitt is succeeding at that.

— Corey Cohen (@CoreyECohen) December 28, 2016

Pitt is getting Matt Canada'd right now. They have no idea what NW is doing.

— Pugs (@cpugliesi) December 28, 2016

Big play by Avonte Maddox. Picks off Northwestern QB Clayton Thorson in the end zone. Thorson tried to force one to wideout Austin Carr.

— Brian Batko (@BrianBatko) December 28, 2016

LEWISESQUE. FROM THE JAWS OF FAILURE

Jester Weah now has six 50+-yard TD catches in 2016, tied for most in FBS (Louisiana Tech's Carlos Henderson, Oklahoma's Dede Westbrook)

It turns out that Pitt fans will travel to bowl games. They just won't travel every year to the same bowl game in Birmingham.

— Chris Dokish (@ChrisDokish) December 28, 2016

Pitt scored 76 points in their last game prior to the Pinstripe bowl so we're due for an easy 60 point second half from them

— NIGHT BUFF-FORE XMAS (@edsbs) December 28, 2016

Oh, Pitt football. Thank God this is the last game until next September.

— Tony Jovenitti (@jovenitti) December 28, 2016

LIKE A TOUGH HOP AT SHORTSTOP @N_THEYSTAYTHERE

— Anson Whaley (@AnsonWhaley) December 28, 2016

New career high in rushing yards (212) for Northwestern's Justin Jackson. Pitt's defense has given up plenty of those, but not to RBs...

— Brian Batko (@BrianBatko) December 28, 2016

Shows the versatility of Pitt's defense to give up passing records all season, then let a guy rush for 212 in 35 minutes in the bowl game.

— Mike Daddy Santa (@85mf) December 28, 2016

Heeeeeeeeee Blewitt!

— Partha Mukhopadhyay (@ahtrapsm) December 28, 2016

Pitt official said RB James Conner not anticipated that he will return to @PinstripeBowl

— Brett McMurphy (@McMurphyESPN) December 28, 2016

Ben DiNucci is in at QB for #pitt

— Chris Peak (@PantherLair) December 28, 2016

Two targets on Conner and Peterman. Both now out. No calls made by officials.

— Chris Gates (@Chris_Gates) December 28, 2016

On one hand our running back just blocked a punt. On the other, I didn't know we had a backup qb

— Bean (@bdrusda) December 28, 2016

REALLY A BLOCKED PUNT MY HEART CANT HANDLE THIS #pitt #PinstripeBowl

YEAH I PAID $500 FOR TIX AND STAYED AT THE WALDORF-ASTORIA IN MANHATTAN TO SEE BEN DINUCCI HAND IT OFF TO QADREE OLLISON

These guys have missed all or part of the game: Blair, Webb, Whitehead, Jarrett, Johnson, Conner, Peterman.

— Jerry DiPaola (@JDiPaola_Trib) December 28, 2016

This defense

— Pitt OC Zach (@CzarOfPgh) December 28, 2016

Absolutely pathetic defense. Zero faith in them all season.

— Corey Cohen (@CoreyECohen) December 28, 2016

Pitt fumble. Quadree Henderson coughs it up and Northwestern has it. If B1GCats get a FG, then Pitt a TD, we'll be right back on schedule.

— Brian Batko (@BrianBatko) December 28, 2016

We're like the 1927 Yankees if they fumbled a lot. #H2P

— Souf Oaklin fo' Life (@Souf_Oaklin) December 28, 2016

FIELD GOAL is GOOD: 37-yard FG by Jack Mitchell extends Northwestern's lead to 31-24 with 6:17 remaining in the game.

— Pitt News Sports (@pittnewssports) December 28, 2016

.@Northwestern kick to Quadree you suckass cowards

— Mike Daddy Santa (@85mf) December 28, 2016

Scott Orndoff can't haul in a nice throw from Ben DiNucci in the end zone on third down, DiNucci picked off at goal line on fourth. NW ball.

— Brian Batko (@BrianBatko) December 28, 2016

And also, thank God Pitt football is over. I can't handle this anymore.

— Tony Jovenitti (@jovenitti) December 28, 2016

Don't you do it Pitt. Don't you give me a smidgen of hope

— JD (@Sta7ic) December 28, 2016

Dinucci tossing a pick then getting hurdled and face planting describes Pitts game today

— Ben McMillen (@benmcmillen24) December 28, 2016

DiNucci throws his second INT of the game and Northwestern is going to hold on to win, 31-24.

— Steve Rotstein (@SteveRotstein) December 28, 2016

Game over. Thank you for playing Pitt Football 2016. Conner loses final game while watching from sideline injured because the world sucks
