No blitzes, soft coverage. Now ol third string is clueless....
December 30th, 2021 at 10:28 PM ^
shit, looks like sparty is going to win.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:28 PM ^
lol, Sparty is definitely going to go down as the luckiest 11-2 team possibly ever. Too bad for them nationally nobody really gives a shit.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:37 PM ^
Don’t care about MSU. Those chumps can have their win over UM. They are in the rear view mirror playing against Pitt’s third stringer. Michigan got what it needed and is now focused on bigger and better things.
MSU never is and never will be the objective. They are a speed bump. A mid-tier priority. A nice to have but never a need to have. That will never change. Don’t get me wrong, I’d rather beat them than not. But they will never be to Michigan what beating OSU is.
December 31st, 2021 at 9:11 AM ^
This pathetic "speed bump" narrative is part of the reason why we are 4-10 against them. Maybe you don't care, but I do. In-state rivalries are a huge part of the unique pride and entertainment value in college athletics. Beat their ass because it matters. It matters a lot.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:28 PM ^
Sharty fans are embarrassing
December 30th, 2021 at 10:28 PM ^
Way to shit the bed Pitt.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:29 PM ^
MSU ran the same comeback route on every third down and yet supposed defensive genius Pat Narduzzi couldn't figure out how to stop it.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:30 PM ^
Pitt doesn't know how to cover a curl or a comeback. Feels like they're open every play
December 30th, 2021 at 10:30 PM ^
Lol at these clowns making Peyton Thorne sound like Peyton Manning.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:31 PM ^
Lmao MSU is so hyped beating a team on their 3rd string QB who looks like he's never played football before
December 30th, 2021 at 10:32 PM ^
You really wonder what goes through coaches heads sometimes. Pitt had a relentless pass rush going and decides that playing soft every third down was their best course of action. I knew Narduzzi was a piece of crap human being, didn't figure him for an idiot schemetically.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:32 PM ^
Pitt's massively overrated but would've blown this open if Pickett had been in. I don't even know what Pitt's signature win is this year. Beating an unranked Clemson? I suppose Wake Forest but they're meh too.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:33 PM ^
I do enjoy seeing Narduzzi choke.
December 30th, 2021 at 11:01 PM ^
I agree, Narduzzi is a punk. Not forgetting the bullshit he pulled by encouraging his defense to try to hurt Dennard Robinson.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:34 PM ^
GO PITT!!!
December 30th, 2021 at 10:34 PM ^
Too bad narduzzi couldn’t have been the MSU coach.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:34 PM ^
C'mon Pitt
December 30th, 2021 at 10:34 PM ^
Pitt's burning a ton of time
December 30th, 2021 at 10:35 PM ^
Well, that's what your 3rd string QB will give you
December 30th, 2021 at 10:37 PM ^
All of these people asking why Narduzzi was so conservative have their answer. Nobody wins with QB3.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:35 PM ^
Narduzzi is a fucking idiot.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:35 PM ^
Thats the most Sparty thing ever. Fuck the universe!
There was a thread about a movie where an MSU astronomy student found a planet killing comet. Could we get that comet to hit East Lansing first?
December 30th, 2021 at 10:36 PM ^
Welp. 3rd string QB.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:36 PM ^
Well shoot I was a believer for a second
December 30th, 2021 at 10:44 PM ^
Can't throw over the middle there. Already in field goal distance, safe sideline pass or throw it away. Unfortunately, ol third string wasn't up to the task....
December 30th, 2021 at 10:36 PM ^
Eh, hate seeing Sparty win, consolation is that piece of shit Narduzzi loses. And in reality we can still laugh knowing how peak Sparty it is to act like you won the Super Bowl because you eeked one out against a third string QB. And good luck without Walker next season, lol.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:46 PM ^
That wasn't just any old 3rd string quarterback, that might be the worst 3rd string quarterback in all of football. Wow was he bad.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:51 PM ^
I dunno man did you see the Va Tech QB last night?
woof
December 30th, 2021 at 11:53 PM ^
Since Russell Bellomy was technically 2nd string vs Nebraska maybe, but that was the worst college QB performance bar none.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:37 PM ^
Ha fuck sparty. Looking forward to them falling back to earth next season
December 30th, 2021 at 10:38 PM ^
Ouch the weeping panthers all over the stadium...
December 30th, 2021 at 10:38 PM ^
BACK DOOR COVER!!!! I feel dirty for betting on the Sharts though
December 30th, 2021 at 10:41 PM ^
You should feel dirty. You did a terrible thing. You compromised your values as a fan.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:38 PM ^
It’s going to be hilarious watching MSU crash back to earth next year. I can’t wait.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:42 PM ^
They're not going anywhere. I still don't think Tucker is much of a game coach, but I think he knows how to build a program in this era.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:50 PM ^
Not so sure about that, their run game was an absolute tire fire when it wasn't Walker getting the ball all year, their o-line sucks and they actually have to replace 3 of them or so with the guys behind them who couldn't beat those guys out and they looked like essentially a 6-6 team playing another team who would have been 6-6 at best if they had started their third string guy all year tonight.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:57 PM ^
Sparty had a horseshoe up its ass this year. With Walker gone, they look exceedingly mediocre, and they don't have nearly enough talent to compete at a high level next year. If memory serves, they have to play at Wisky, Washington, Michigan, and PSU next year. Plus OSU at home. Their 2022 ceiling is 7-8 wins.
December 31st, 2021 at 9:27 AM ^
Did you watch the game? Sparty is nothing without Walker. Could do nothing on the ground and will likely lose at least Jalen Nailor and maybe Reed. This team struggled to beat Pitt on their 3rd string QB who went 3 and out basically every drive in the 2nd half
December 30th, 2021 at 10:50 PM ^
I feel like people been saying this for like 15 years lol
December 30th, 2021 at 10:40 PM ^
Haha a huge celebration for a 4th quarter comeback to beat a team's 3rd string QB. That is so Sparty it isn't even funny.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:40 PM ^
Peak Sparty for what amounts to an exhibition that the best players didn't feel like was worth playing in.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:43 PM ^
What's still hilarious to me is they likely lose that game by 2+ scores if Pitt's backup doesn't get injured.
December 30th, 2021 at 11:00 PM ^
Laugh about a 3rd string QB? Did you see Thorne's play?
December 30th, 2021 at 10:42 PM ^
The most Sparty win ever. Hats off to them for taking advantage, but whenever they have a statement game, horrible luck infects their opponent.
Like tonight - their opponent’s Heisman finalist QB decides not to play, and his backup gets injured, and they go down to a 3rd stringer. Then pull a win out of their ass in the final minutes, with an absurd catch, a pick six, and a kickoff fumble recovery in the last 2-3 minutes.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:42 PM ^
Ha, Sparty still with horseshoes up their asses. On the bright side, their offense is just chuck and pray without Walker.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:44 PM ^
I will say I will always remember what a piece of shit Narduzzi is for pretty much openly encouraging his defensive players to do dirty crap so I can't exactly say I was cheering that hard for Pitt either.
December 30th, 2021 at 10:44 PM ^
Those ASU uniforms have so much going on there. Maybe too much.
December 30th, 2021 at 11:00 PM ^
Makes one want to watch this in good ol black and white programming...
December 30th, 2021 at 10:45 PM ^
These guys in the orange pajamas are falling down and looking hilarious. Love it, Herm!
