Wow! PLEASE Watch the 2016 CU/Pitt Game

Clemson is 0 & 2 vs Pitt (lifetime).
In 2016, we had so many chances to win. Deshaun had well over 500 yards passing & 3 TDs - but - 3 INTs. 1 wasn't his fault, but 2 hurt us - especially 1 late in the 4th from the Pitt 4. Deshaun forces 1 into coverage & it's taken from Pitt's endzone back 70 yards (leading to the last Pitt TD that made it 42-40 - - failed 2-point try).
After, we had a late drive that stalled on the Pitt 30-35. Had 2 downs to make 1 yard & convert but failed - turned over on downs. Pitt drives & we had 'em stopped - then 1 of TWO BIG phantom calls on us - this 1 was a P.I. that kept drive alive & moved Pitt into field goal range & the winning 3-pointer - 48-yarder w/:08sec left & the win.
The 2 phantom calls were huge & cost us points. The other was an unnecessary roughness called on Boulware that totally was NOT there. Dabo blew his stack!
Pitt came into the Valley w/a 5&4 record & knocked off #2 CU. That Pitt shovel pass killed us. Too many chunk plays allowed by us. The phantom calls killed us. The INTs killed us.
Renfrow was brilliant in the game. Great work by Mike Williams. Pitt took away the run - but we still got plenty of bubbles to Gallman, so he got yards & 2 TDs.
Could have - should have won. Just too many missed chances & fighting some horrible refs. Pitt played way above their talent level.
We just came up 1-point short. Got caught in a "perfect storm."

WOW!WHAT purpose does it do to watch a game that has "NO BEARING WHAT SO EVER WITH THE GAME THIS SATURDAY? Does it matter that we are 0-2 against them lifetime when most of the key players are no longer there? Granted, Renfro is still here, BUT; Is DeShaun playing? That would be NO! Is Boulware playing? That would be NO! Is Gallman playing? Or would you rather have him back in exchange for Etienne, or Feaster? We lost that game. So what. Teams lose games that, on paper, they are supposed to win. Dabo and his staff have probably studied this game somewhat, but I suspect they are looking at more film from this year Pitt team, not the one that beat us two years ago.

My Psychiatrist took me off all medications last week and ordered me a straight jacket so I couldn't type anymore. That didn't work either.

You should have used ALL CAPS, as that helps some people cope with winning so often, by huge margins on top of that. HTH

We have more talent, more depth, a more balanced offense, a better offensive line, AND James Connor now plays for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Take a deep breath!

Ignore the wisecracks. It’s smart to remember this game. I’m sure BV has dissected it thoroughly and is not taking it lightly at all. We may be a far better team on paper and performance to date, but there’s a reason you play the game. Learn from mistakes and leave no doubt!
