Held Mensah under 400 🔒

Held Toney under 200 🔒

Legendary performance from the vaunted Narduzzi defense 😤

Stanford: Wait, you can hold Toney under 200 yards?

The score feels closer than the game actually was.

It really does. It felt like Pitt lost by 60.

I'm surprised that Pitt's defense was that bad.

Toney my precious please stay healthy.

Legit impressed that a Cristobal squad didn't even make it a lil hairy after that 4th and 1 failure and allowing a TD to cut it to a 10pt game. Shrugged it off like it was nothing and kept whooping ass the rest of the way.

Mario is improving each year as a coach and this team has been resilient all year long

You might see this result and think "Wow, Pitt [without its starting QB] is complete ass!" But did your team score a safety on the #1 ranked team in the country? Yeah, didn't think so. So there!

Is Miami that good or is the ACC weak? Regardless Miami is a fun team to watch.

Miami's offense is really good. But the defensive secondary is banged up and Miami can't stop teams from throwing the ball. Miami's run defense is pretty legit, though.

This finally feels like the year Miami wins the ACC, just a complete team all around

Me last week: Miami is a fraud

Me this week: glad we got to play Carson Beck during our magical season

Honestly good stats from Pitts 3rd string QB. Sucks we never got to see Mason. On Miami's side meanwhile, this team will go as far as it's offense (and Mensah/Toney) will take it cause man is the defense just not the same as last year.

I fear what unspeakable horrors will be happening to our defense in a few weeks.

u/bibrexd 3d ago

Last week took 5 extra minutes so espn decided to give us 5 less minutes this week, fair is fair.

u/Bmlrocks 3d ago

Yeah that's about the game I expected. Never really close at all. Maybe we can beat GT next week, but ultimately this season was over well before this

I know Miami got away with one vs FSU but outside of that, they look like the safest bet to win the natty this year. Their offense is so fucking good. Toney is a cheat code
