Give credit to the 3rd string Qb for Pitt he might have a starting job in the future I can't understand what he went through. He made great throws and kept them alive, Of course the rookie mistakes cost them but he still did a heck of a job.

[@joe.osullivan]

Can we pump the breaks on the MSU hype train for a minute. Pitt was winning for the majority of the game with a terrible third string QB that looked incompetent leading them for most of the game. No Walker hurts, but a running back is significantly easier to replace than a QB and Pitt looked good when they did replace their Hiesman finalist QB, until he got hurt and had to go to the third string. Pitt had 1 first down in the second half until their final drive. This wasn't a comeback underdog story. It should never have been as close as it was with Beville at QB. MSU looked pretty bad most of the game, it's just that Pitts offense without Pickett or Patti was anemic. MSU didn't win the game, Pitt lost it after they lost their QBs. With Patti or Pickett, the game wouldn't even have been competitive

[@rekuz1928]

Takeaways by me: 1. The offensive line was pretty bad because they were banged up. 2. Thorne was off his game a little bit, but brought it back in the end. 3. Receivers were amazing today. 4. Connor Heyward’s draft stock went up a ton after this game, he’s not the greatest prospect but this was his best game by far as a Spartan. 5. The defense did very well I’d say, granted it was against a 3rd string QB, but better overall.

Not exactly a collapse with Beville in at QB. That fantastic Pitt offense all season was anemic against the worst passing defense in college football with him in at QB. It was a miracle that it was that close for that long. The defense couldn't stay on the field forever without breaking
