Oh i guess i missed this... lol
I just remembered you touting Henry like something we had to worry about.
I actually predicted the last game pretty accurately. I'll make another prediction closer to game time next sunday.
I'd be shocked if the jaguars start the game with a 2 possession lead like they did today, that really took a lot of pressure off of them.
I very well may not have typed it out.
Well look at the game last night, have you ever seen us load the box like that at all this year? no.
I believe it's because we knew Henry had to be stopped, we held him to 28 yards on 12 carries, Mariota 37 on 4 rushes.
I'll have to watch a VOD of the Jags game sometime this week, because I was at work for all but the last (pointless) drive of Pitt's, so I can really analyze the game...but for the most part it looked like Pitt beat themselves. The early interception, not taking points early in the game, the fumble, etc.
Obv I don't want to take anything away from the Jags, I just think we're a different class of team.
Seeing how well we played last night definitely helped out too, but I just think this win condition is easier than defending two run threats all night long.
Bill preaches ball security. If we can't hold onto it v Jacksonville (a deserving and good team - but young and inexperienced), we deserve to lose.
