Florida State fan after losing to Pitt: “Call Saban!”

Is Penn State about to lose to Northwestern? But why? How???

Genuinely concerned for James Franklin’s safety at this point.

Other than the long touchdown, thought Pitt's defense played well in the fourth quarter. Forced a big fumble followed by back-to-back three-and-outs. Kept the Panthers in the game.

Pitt RB Ja'Kyrian "Boosie" Turner with 78 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns. He was tough to bring down all day. Solid back-to-back performances from Turner.

Pitt upsets No. 25 Florida State in Tallahassee, 34-31.

The Panthers have beat a ranked team in 9 of the last 10 years.

Mason Heintschel overcomes a pair of first half INTs.

Desmond Reid with a cool 200 all-purpose yards & two touchdowns in his first game in four weeks.

Dumb play by the defender. How can you push the center in this situation?

Amanda Godsey @amandagodsey.bsky.social · 15h

Kyle Louis recovers the onside kick, because that's what he does.

Amanda Godsey @amandagodsey.bsky.social · 15h

I think it got kind of overlooked with all the Heintschel hype.

Well.

That happened.

Amanda Godsey @amandagodsey.bsky.social · 16h

He led the team in rushing yards last week. I don't understand why both he and Goff didn't get more touches against Louisville, they did pretty well when they ran it IIRC.

Turner touchdown.

Two-score tournament in Tallahassee.

I think Boosie Turner might be a dude.

You’d rather be lucky than good, and boy was that LUCKY

Amanda Godsey @amandagodsey.bsky.social · 17h

Certainly an encouraging sign to see Heintschel bounce back after two picks to end the first half.

Amanda Godsey @amandagodsey.bsky.social · 17h

Maybe cover Des Reid in the end zone? Idk, just spit-balling.

What a ridiculous end to the half.

Amanda Godsey @amandagodsey.bsky.social · 17h

Pitt got off to a good start but all three phases have made some mistakes and now the Panthers trail for the first time.

Florida State gets the ball to begin the second half. Pitt’s defense is going to need a big stop or turnover before the game gets away from them.

For the record, Cruce Brookins is on the sidelines and in full pads but doesn't have his helmet with him. Don't think Iv'e seen him play today.

The first Heintschel pick wasn’t great but it didn’t ultimately hurt Pitt.

That one hurts.

Amanda Godsey @amandagodsey.bsky.social · 18h

Another true freshman with a big play for Pitt. Safety Josh Guerrier blocks the punt and sets up Pitt at the FSU 26.

Amanda Godsey @amandagodsey.bsky.social · 18h

Wow shovel pass followed by a deep TD pass to Desmond Reid.

Not sure the Pitt offense could have gotten off to a better start today.

Isaiah Neal is also another player Pitt cannot afford to lose considering he’s already moved to DE because of the injuries there.

Looks like his feet got tangled up in the pile at the end of that tackle. Biles walked off gingerly, then hit a jog and went straight to the exercise bike.

Rasheem Biles is down on the field holding his right hamstring.
