Pitt Notes, Odds and Ends

Paul Zeise — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 00:13:00 GMT

Day Two of Notre Dame Week is in the books. But as I had written before, I was a little under the weather (OK, a lot) so there were a number of little odds and ends, some I've dealt with in the Q&A, that I need to wrap up. So here we go.... *...(read more)

Pitt 37, Syracuse 10 - Good, Bad and Ugly

Paul Zeise — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 02:32:00 GMT

Welcome back folks to the Pitt football blog -- I missed last week of blogging because I was battling a very nasty flu bug (if you notice, I wrote very little for the paper as well). But now we're back, healthy (almost) and ready for the stretch run...(read more)

No Berry for Rutgers game tonight

Paul Zeise — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 23:25:00 GMT

PISCATAWAY, N.J. - As expected cornerback Aaron Berry is not in uniform and will not play tonight because of his shoulder injury. That means that Ricky Gary will earn the start and as we all know, he's struggled a little bit covering the deep routes...(read more)

Pitt-Connecticut - The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Paul Zeise — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 17:36:00 GMT

Pitt beat UConn 24-21 in dramatic fashion Saturday and while the Panthers struggled in the first half, they showed a lot of resolve in the second half and it could be the kind of win that the Panthers draw on late in the season when they get in another...(read more)

Pitt-N.C. State -- The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

Paul Zeise — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 03:49:00 GMT

Many thanks to my co-worker and our esteemed Pitt basketball writer Ray Fittipaldo for stepping in for me these past few days as I needed some time off given the back-to-back road trips and short week in between. I’m also fighting off the flu, but...(read more)

Pitt 17, N.C. State 10 - Half

Paul Zeise — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 20:58:00 GMT

RALEIGH, N.C. -- I'm not sure what to make of this game right now to be honest. The Panthers have dominated field position, N.C State has made a bunch of mistakes -- including some of the most horrible clock management I've ever seen right before...(read more)

Pitt-Navy - News, Notes and Quotes

Paul Zeise — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 07:59:00 GMT

Halfway through last night's 27-14 victory by Pitt over Navy I was thinking "this is going to be an impressive victory" but for the third week in a row, either the Panthers pulled off the gas pedal or the other team made some adjustments...(read more)

No Gunn for Navy game

Paul Zeise — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 22:14:00 GMT

Senior linebacker Adam Gunn injured his ankle this week during practice and despite trying to get ready to play today he wasn't able to. As a result he is in street clothes and Dan Mason will make his first career start at middle linebacker. Mason...(read more)

Pitt-Youngstown State - First Half Impressions

Paul Zeise — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 17:49:00 GMT

Pitt leads Youngstown State, 21-3, at the half. I suspect that the second-half is going to get pretty ugly as the Panthers size and strength is going to take over and wear the Penguins down. The Panthers offensive line, albeit against suspect competition...(read more)
