Utah turns it over deep in Pitt territory. A score there would’ve put the fear of God into the panthers going into the half, but it looks like it’ll be game on in the second half. 14-7 Utah at the break.

Utah’s punt is blocked, setting Pitt up right on Utah’s doorstep.

Pitt moves back, not forward. Field goal makes it 17-10 Utes.

Hold your breath, Utes, here comes the punt team.

Excellent from EDSBS

4th quarter Pitt/Utah play script: punt on 1st down. See if other team fumbles. Then punt back. Repeat until victory.

Going to be tough for Pitt to win this game without a score here. You have to think Utah isn’t going to be as generous with the ball from her on out.

With a long TD drive here Utah can likely put the game away. Pitt’s QB is shaky enough where he’ll likely give the game away if he can’t lean on the running game to set him up with second and medium, third and short situations.

by HawkeyedFrog on Sep 2, 2010 8:08 PM PDT reply actions  

Still a lot of time left though. And Utah may still have to field a kickoff and possibly punt. Dangerous times.

by HawkeyedFrog on Sep 2, 2010 8:11 PM PDT up reply actions  

good points

But Pitt while able to move the ball well last drive, they take too long to move it.

Utah’s D looks a little winded, they’ve been on the field for most of this quarter, and it’s starting to show.

That’s the thing about wideouts, one big play and your whole night can look respectable in a box score.

by HawkeyedFrog on Sep 2, 2010 8:20 PM PDT up reply actions  

A touchback bails Utah out of returning the kick. A fortuitous break, to be sure.

by HawkeyedFrog on Sep 2, 2010 8:20 PM PDT reply actions  

The momentum is all on Pitt’s side here, this play is critical.

by HawkeyedFrog on Sep 2, 2010 8:22 PM PDT reply actions  

Because Urban Meyer did it against Texas A&M and it worked there? I have no freakin’ clue.

by HawkeyedFrog on Sep 2, 2010 8:24 PM PDT up reply actions  

You absolutely cannot do that. I’m dumbstruck.

Pitt is going to be feeling good when they get the ball here. Things have gotten very dangerous for the Utes.

by HawkeyedFrog on Sep 2, 2010 8:29 PM PDT reply actions  

time for the d to step it up

Pitt kicker missed an early one so perhaps he will be second guessing if its a deep kick

Making the Big East favorite look bad is more important, though.

Yikes, what happened?

Utah had a decent lead. I started watching USC/Hawaii and now it looks like Utah is on their heels.

Time to root for Pitt to win the Big East, to make their defeat look all the worse.

If not for one too many timeouts, you would’ve been spot on.

by HawkeyedFrog on Sep 2, 2010 9:02 PM PDT up reply actions  

Overall, a good win but hardly the statement it looked like it was going to be. Hopefully the Frogs will prove my prediction of a close win wrong by utterly annihilating the Beavers.
