OT: D1

[IUP24]

Pitt’s defense may not be good. It may be great. Their linebacker unit is elite. Kyle Louis is on pace to be a 1st team All-American. If you don’t believe me, check his numbers. Not another defensive player in the country has the combined numbers he’s put up. Playing at an elite level.

Pitt’s D got a lot better when Sean Fitzsimmons got a late start to the season a few weeks ago after a camp injury. That helped the DL a ton, and the combination of elite play at LB has really created a pass rush that also stops the run effectively. The secondary is also night and day better than at the beginning of the season.

I’ll be heading down to Dallas next week for the SMU game. Really looking forward to what’s shaping up to be a huge game with national implications - and it’s not a stretch to say that.

My gut feel right now is Pitt probably loses in Dallas. Rhett Lashlee is a good offensive scheme guy, and he gave Pitt problems when he was OC at Miami. I have liked SMU’s progression on offense this year. As well as Pitt’s playing on D, they will score. And I currently don’t have confidence Pitt will score enough to win there. But it’s a lot of fun to be in the position they are in right now.

SMU will beat Pitt next week.

Pitt up 38-6 in 4th and calling running plays for starting QB. He just left game.

WTF do these coaches think?

[Ship69]

Pitt 1st half: 83 yards of offense. 31 points. Never seen anything like that before.

TOs will do that. I see the Sorry-Excuse wonder from Ohio State has thrown four interceptions.

Pitt gone bonkers

Looks like it only broke up there yesterday. Better (difficult) details here: https://www.statecollege.com/article...cused-of-rape/

Those who rape minors are very popular in prison. I hope they enjoy their stay. Payback time is coming.

It's been out since at least Tuesday. Saw it in the Athletic.

Yeah, our local TV stations cover Penn State ad nauseum, but they haven't seemed to have much to say about this.

Really surprised this was kept under wraps from the summer until now:

Speaking of massive games, we’ve got one kicking off in Pittsburgh in a few hours. H2P!! In Duzz we trust!!

[Chuck Norris]

Boise State has a couple of tricky games left, but certainly has looked like the top G5 team so far.

Tomorrow night they’re at UNLV in a massive game. If Army or Navy don’t get in I’d certainly love to see what Ashton Jeanty can do in that environment. He already tore up Oregon when Boise nearly upset them earlier in the season.

I just saw this.

The story was that there was an administrative assistant who worked for Harsin in the football office, or somewhere else in the Boise State athletic department, that followed Harsin to Auburn. When things were going south, somebody who was a fake insider started that rumor and it took off online. There were never any actual legs to the story; no evidence; nothing. Auburn launched a very publicized internal investigation into Harsin and the accusation and they found nothing.

That story honestly displays how powerful the online world can be at times - and how unjust it is too. Just throw something out there about somebody you don't like and the story will get legs and can be used to ruin somebody's life. It's equally sad and scary.

His tenure was rocky at Auburn, but the administration and fan base did him no favors either. He was a good hire on paper. I would go as far as saying he was a great hire. I think people forget that he was named the head coach in waiting at Boise State behind Chris Peterson. He was widely considered one of the rising stars in the coaching profession. I think it's odd that he isn't coaching again, but I've found some articles that also suggest he may not be as interested in immediately returning to the sidelines after that mess he experienced at Auburn either.

Yeah once I posted that I started looking into it because I was pretty certain what I had heard was about him. I believe he and his wife returned to Boise and like you said, he’s just chilling for now because of that experience. I can’t blam him.That’s insane, but very easy to see how it could happen with social media.

[IUP24]

Didn’t he allegedly have an extra marital affair while at Auburn or am I thinking of someone else?
