"Can't get down close enough to the field to snap a picture but Juelz Goff has some sweet custom cleats painted up like the KD X PB&J sneakers. They would have gone quadruple platinum at my middle school"

"Pitt has X false start penalties in as many drives. 2nd one put them behind the sticks and helps force a punt. Junko mishandled the snap and a Cuse defender got a hand on it but a Pitt bounce means the ball was downed at the opposite XX yard line. 7-0 Pitt. 8:32 in 1st quarter"

"And Heintschel is picked off. Multiple Orange defenders were waiting in coverage and he let a ball intended for Kenny Johnson hang up. Davien Kerr returns the INT back to the Pitt XX yard line"

"Inspired effort from the Syracuse defense holds Pitt to a short field goal. Heintschel looked more settled in and the run game found some success behind Reid and Turner but Pitt only gets X from its first redzone trip. Panthers lead 10-7 XX minute mark of the 2nd quarter"

"Was Syracuse's best drive today the 9-play 27-yard march in 5:18 that ended in a punt Or the 2-play 12-yard one that scored their lone points of the evening It's open to interpertation imo"

"Pitt extends their lead to 23-7 with 10:49 left in the game on another field goal from Butkowski. Nothing about the offense has been smooth tonight but quality special teams and defense has minimized the impact of a scuffling passing game"

"Narduzzi said he did not consider benching Kendall Stanley tonight: "We got trust in him. . As soon as you do that you show that you don't have trust in him. . Just didn't execute and it comes down to execution. Hes proven that he can execute and we're gonna keep rolling"
