Griffons at Gorillas

[GrifFan]

Opening drive aided by a couple of PSU penalties give the Griffons a 7-0 lead with 10:51 to play in the first. Couple of nice throws by Steigerwald.

Do not kick to Vaval

Exchange of turnovers - Steigerwald throws a pick in the end zone, Mlekas fumbles it back on third down. First and ten Griffons at the Pitt 30.

And now Steigerwald throws his second interception of the game, just his fifth of the season.

Markel Smith with the short run gives the Griffons a 14-0 lead with 2:06 to play in the first. Griffs are winning the field position battle, doing a pretty good job defensively so far.

Not gonna lie. Pitt kinda sucks this year. This game reminds me of 2012 so far. Yawn.

On course to give up 40 again.

There's still a lot of time left in this one, but, assuming Pitt loses, I wonder how bad Pitt has to finish the season for a change to be made at HC? 7-4? 6-5? 5-6? Pitt is definitely underachieving these days.

7 wins assures this pathetic coaching staff another year.

Looked like a lot of quit with the gorillas today. Disappinting.

Final 35-21. The score and stats look closer than the game ever felt. Seemed like both teams went into cruise control after the exchange of touchdowns to open the second half. Haven't seen Vespo in meaningful minutes in a while - it was good to see him finish the drive he came in for Steigerwald.

Side note: PSU webcast was really good - the student announcers did a nice job, and I appreciated the highlights from the UCM/UNK game.
