Week 11 College Football Roundup: Pitt and WVU Still Alive?, PSU Starts Recovery Process

PITT 24, Louisville 17
- To no surprise Pitt showed up this week and now, thanks to a Wets Virginia win over Cincinnati, again have an outside chance at a Big East title. I pretty much wrote them off last week as we all hoped they'd at least become bowl eligible, but another co-Big East title isn't unrealistic anymore even if a BCS bowl berth is.

- Pitt definitely tried to lose this game though didn't they. Just as they always do, they kept it exciting until the last minute even with several chances to put the game away. If this team protected the ball better, especially in the clutch, they'd be the team we all thought they would be this season.

- I've become a fan of Tino Sunseri in the spread offense, but one thing still remains nonexistent and that is the deep ball. The only thing lacking from this offense is the ability to recover from 2nd and long and 3rd and long situations. Pitt doesn't even pretend that they want to take those chances anymore and that is a bit disconcerting. On 3rd and long, even if Tino just throws the ball up for grabs, it's as good as one of those pooch punts that fans hate so much.






- Pitt has really had some players turn into defensive stars. You could point to literally about half of the defense as some of the best at their positions in the NCAA. If Brandon Lindsey returned to his 2010 form, that defensive line would be unstoppable.

WEST VIRGINIA 24, Cincinnati 21
- I was really surprised that West Virginia pulled this win off even after Zach Collaros left the game. They've played poorly for quite some time now, but they did what they had to do this week.

- I really think that West Virginia doesn't deserve to be ranked, but they are again this week after beating ranked Cincinnati. However, there is no way Southern Mississippi deserves to be ranked either so I suppose it could be worse.



Nebraska 17, PENN STATE 14






- I don't think Penn State played any differently this week than they would have with or without the scandal. The defense played well, the offense struggled, and they almost came up with just enough plays to come out with a victory.

- In any case, it was inspiring to see the scandal, the one that these current players had nothing to do with, seemingly not affect them. Would it have affected me if I was in their shoes? I don't know, but we've seem teams respond much worse to tragedies.

Week 11 Pitt, Penn State, West Virginia Preview

It's been a while since I've done one of these for several reasons, but it's back and hopefully it will be here for the remainder of the season.

Things I'll be looking for this week:

Pitt at Louisville:

• More quality play from Tino Sunseri  - He's done well thus far without Ray Graham, and I expect him to continue to show why Pitt may yet be a contender for big things next season.

• Better pass catching - The receivers' hands have been an issue all season and just when it looked like the problem had been corrected, they've had some bad drops lately. That needs to continue to change.

• Strong defense - Louisville isn't the best offensive team in the world and I think Pitt's defense has done extremely well considering the cards that they've been dealt. This week I think they'll do just fine yet again.

• A Pitt victory - Pitt should have won the game last week and there's no way they should be 4-5 this season. But, of course, you are only as good as your record. It's a shame that this season has all but gone down the tubes, but Pitt can start their bowl-salvaging efforts this week with a big conference win.

Penn State at Nebraska:

• Only football - The events that have taken place are sickening to me. I'm not talking about Jerry Sandusky's alleged acts either. Right now, I only meant the acts that we saw unfold during the week. The Joe Paterno firing, the Mike McQueary leave of absence, and everything else that has occurred have done nothing but make me furious this past week. It would wonderful to see Penn State play an inspired game and win one for Joe Paterno and their university.

• The status quo - As much as it will be horrible to watch a Penn State game that does not include Joe Paterno with his team in one capacity or another, I think that with the rest of the coaching staff remaining intact, Penn State will be the same team we've seen all season and maybe even stronger. Bradley has been calling most of the shots anyway, so why would the team look any different than they have.

West Virginia at Cincinnati:

• A Cincinnati win - To be perfectly honest, there isn't much to talk about in this game. This could have been a huge one but now, Cincinnati has looked great, West Virginia has looked bad and I don't see there being many surprises. Maybe West Virginia will play inspired enough to give themselves a chance to come back and win the Big East conference.

Say It Ain't So Joe

This was not the way it was supposed to end. Joe Paterno was supposed to leave Penn State on his terms, not anyone else's. I think anyone that is a fan of Penn State, or even people who aren't fans, always wished that his final season would end with him being carried off the field as the winning coach in a national championship game. While that was the hope, it was unlikely. People feared that he would be cast out by the administration after a miserable season whether it be this year, the next, or the year after. Everyone would have talked of how the icon held on too long, how he was too old, but his legacy would always be untarnished, squeaky clean. But it was not meant to be.

Now, Joe has announced his retirement because of the scandal that has rocked everyone's world. Nobody saw this coming, not even Penn State. It's quite a shame that this is what we're left with. And I'm furious.

In the perfect scenario for following the old adage, "be careful what you wish for," I got my wish and now I'll get to see Joe Paterno walking away after this year. Only now, I wish it weren't so.

The media again has shown their awesome power, sticking pins into their Penn State voodoo doll, tearing the Penn State program down piece by piece just so they have their big story. Consumers of television coverage and newspaper articles only know as much as they see on television and they've fallen into the trap that the media has laid out yet again. Like a fly in a spider's web, the people have entrapped themselves, fighting to get out before becoming entrenched beyond saving.

Nobody is asking questions, but I will. I have to. I cannot stand the absurdity of this story any longer. So here are some questions and comments that I'd like to see the answers to, and I'd love for you to all help me out in answering them.

• First of all, are we not innocent until proven guilty? Yes, I think that the accusations are true, however, Jerry Sandusky still has not been tried in a court of law. I find it ridiculous that others should suffer until we know if all of this is even true or not.

• How did Penn State's higher-ups not know about this? Even if there was a cover-up, someone with the highest power at the university would have found out and this would have come out much sooner. How did none of the parents know? Every single kid didn't tell them? Nonsense. Nobody, especially multiple 8, 9, 10-year olds, keep secrets from their parents that well.

• A lot of people think Joe Paterno should have done more. Are you serious? He reported the wrongdoing to his boss! What more do you want the guy to do? And if you say, "Joe Paterno is the boss," you're only listening to what others are saying. Penn State FOOTBALL is Joe Paterno's pride and glory. He is not responsible for wrongdoing on the campus though.

• Sandusky was not a Penn State football employee at the time of the first reported offense by Mike McQueary.  This further takes Joe Paterno's responsibility away. It's not as if Sandusky was a current coach and JoePa could have said, "Hey we're going to have to fire you." There was nothing Paterno could do one way or the other. 

• Mike McQueary may be at fault for not reporting the incident to police, however, at 28 he was still just a kid in the coaching world. He did report the incident to his superior, and yes, he also did what was required of him. Put yourself in his shoes. You see one of your bosses doing something that you deem inappropriate. How would you react? Do you even know? We could all say, "I'd go in and stop it," but how many of us truly would? Have you ever seen a man yelling at a woman in public or vice-versa? How about a kid being hit by his parent? If I did, I'd put a stop to it. And that makes me a hypocrite. I've seen both happen and didn't do a damn thing. I'm betting you've all walked right past similar situations as well. Why do we do that? Because we're scared. If you saw a co-worker doing something illegal, wouldn't you tell your boss? Would you try to stop it? If Jerry Sandusky is as sick as it appears he is, who knows what else he'd be capable of. What if he had a weapon? Fear is what makes us walk away and Mike McQueary was a scared young man. Let's not forget that he didn't just blow the incident off. He reported it to his boss and we need to commend him for that, not tear him down.

• As for Tim Curley, the Penn State AD, I do believe he could have done more, but let's put ourselves in his shoes as well. You are the AD of a prestigious school, a school that has never been accused of wrongdoing. Your head football coach comes to you and says a graduate assistant saw Sandusky doing something inappropriate with a child. Now we know that this is the first time this type of thing has ever been document according to the grand jury testimony. This means that the AD must base all of his decisions off of an isolated incident and the only form of evidence he has is hearsay. He went on to take away Sandusky's keys to the facility and banned him from having children on campus. That actually almost seems harsh considering that it was simply a rumor from a GA's mouth that got him basically banned from using the facilities.

• In 1998, police were alerted to possible wrongdoing by Sandusky, and no criminal charges were brought against him. So even had the cops been involved, there is no guarantee that anything would have been done.

• Onto this Second Mile charity. The charity is for children with absent or dysfunctional families. So for the parents of these kids to complain about these adults that "didn't act like adults" is despicable. They weren't there for their children, but now they want to bitch and moan that their kids were hurt, when they, themselves, weren't capable of raising said child? That is disgusting. More at fault than ANYONE in this, is the parents that subjected their children to their own incapabilities as parents. In 2007, a child was staying overnight at Sandusky's house. Did something happen? Most likely, and it's because that parent allowed that to happen.

Before you blame these people of wrongdoing and having a moral obligation, put yourself in your shoes. Ask yourself what you would do. And don't just blurt out the first thing that comes into your head. REALLY think about it, because my guess is you'll react a lot differently than you think. 

So please, as you watch Sportscenter and you watch these events unfold, be objective. Don't be blinded by what the media says and does on television. Conjure up an opinion of your own for once. And make sure that while you're watching TV or reading your newspaper, you have your badge ready and your name tag on that says Detective (insert your name here), because you never know when someone will expect you to play a cop too.

Week 10 College Football Roundup: Pitt's BCS Hopes All But Done, WVU's on Life Support, PSU's Mind Off of Football

Cincinnati 26, PITT 23
- Just when Pitt shows us that they may have turned the corner, they again let everyone down. This is a game Pitt absolutely should have won and they do deserve some credit for hanging around with a team that most believed far better than them, and without several key players. Still, there is no excuse for losing another pivotal game that seemed to be heavily in Pitt's favor as late as the third quarter.

- I thought Tino Sunseri looked pretty good again and, to be perfectly honest, I feel pretty good about him being the quarterback next season. I know I gave the guy a lot of slack at the beginning of the season, and I still feel that had anyone else been given a chance Pitt's season may be better off than it is now, but he's learned how to run the fast-paced offense, and he can be extremely productive when he tucks the ball and goes. If he can learn how to throw the deep ball, he really could be the best quarterback in the Big East next season.

- If you are a diehard Pitt fan (and I know there aren't a ton left out there, even though some will claim to be if the program rises to prominence again), it may be worse to see Pitt win out this season knowing that they could have been Big East champions with this win. Do I think they will win out? Yes I do. But right now the biggest thing is getting two more wins just so we can see a bowl game even if it is another cheesy meaningless one. I don't like to settle, but I'll take what I can with the cards I've been dealt.

Louisville 38, West Virginia 35
- West Virginia is still the most talented team in the Big East conference, but they've put themselves in a hole that is growing deeper by the week. How they've gotten to this position, I do not know. They've learned how to run, but forgot how to play defense. They can still salvage the season with a little help, but it's not looking good.

Week 9 College Football Roundup: Pitt Loses Three Key Players, PSU Wins Another Nail-Biter, WVU Holds Off Rutgers

PITT 35, Connecticut 20
- Well, well, well. Pitt is back in contention and can anyone really write them off right now. The way the rest of the Big East is playing, this is more like an NFL division than an NCAA conference. How even these teams are is astounding. I'm not going to put all my eggs in Pitt's basket, but there can't be anyone left saying that West Virginia or Cincinnati is the class of this conference.

- Boy, when Tino Sunseri runs the ball he looks fantastic. I've been saying that for a while now, and I'd still like to see him run more. He looked infinitely more confident in the dulled down offense and maybe we'll see more 300 plus yard passing days.

- Cam Saddler and Matt Rotherham went down with season-ending injuries and that's highly disappointing. But nothing may change the course of Pitt's season more than Ray Graham going down for the year. The silver lining, if any, is that maybe we'll get to see him one more year and that would be huge for this program.

-I guess there may be another positive if Tino Sunseri plays the same way all year without Ray Graham. That was one of the best games at the quarterback position that I've ever seen from Pitt and it was reflected on the stat sheet.

WEST VIRGINIA 41, Rutgers 31
- West Virginia's loss to Syracuse was definitely an eye-opener to everyone including themselves. I thought they'd bounce back with a strong performance, but they looked horrible against Rutgers. Luckily they were the more talented team and still eked out a win. 

PENN STATE 10, Illinois 7
- Why in the world would you go back to a two quarterback system? I knew coming into the game that they probably would, but I still couldn't believe it when I saw it. You know what? It doesn't matter. They won and as Mike Tomlin says, no style points are given. A win is a win.

- I know they have some really difficult games left, but if they can get two wins, they'll be in the Big Ten championship. Even one win may get them there. I like their chances either way.

- Just throwing this out there, but if Penn State wins out, are they in the BCS National Championship? It's been a weird season for them, but I'd have to imagine 12-1 gives them as good a shot as anyone else. I don't see it happening either, but I just thought I'd ask.

Week 8 College Football Roundup: PSU = Big 10 Champs?, WVU Gets Knocked Down a Peg, Pitt Doesn't Lose

Syracuse 49, WEST VIRGINIA 23
- I was shocked at how poorly WVU played this week against a Syracuse team that isn't bad, but isn't necessarily good. I'm not overwhelmingly surprised that they lost (even if I did predict them to walk all over 'Cuse), but I can't believe that they were never even really in it.

- West Virginia's first half woes finally came back to haunt them. It's amazing how different their team looks from half to half. If they don't begin starting strong, their strong finishes won't mean anything.
- If there is any silver lining in West Virginia's loss it's that it will certainly be a wakeup call that shows them that they aren't nearly as good as they think. When the Pitt fan in me comes out, I'm not really a huge Dana Holgorsen fan, but I think he's a good coach and his players will respond. Or at least they better if they don't want to leave the door open for Cincinnati, Syracuse, Rutgers, or Pitt to steal this conference.

PENN STATE 34, Northwestern 24
- I've criticized this team often this year, but I think I'm sold on them now. Even while the offense has sputtered, the defense has salvaged every game with the exception of the game vs. Alabama. This week they showed offense that hasn't been there all year even when their defense struggled a bit. This team has a shot at big things all of a sudden.

- FINALLY! Joe Paterno went with one quarterback and did it ever payoff. I don't know why it took so long, but it doesn't matter. They would be 7-1 either way and that is extremely impressive. I think that will go a long way in finishing the season strong against a crop of BCS bowl contenders, if not national title contenders.

- Since their record is 7-1, I think the pressure that Paterno would have faced is gone. There's no way you can push the guy out, especially if he gets to double digit wins. As many times as I or anyone else has doubted the guy, his teams seem to always respond. That has to speak to the man's abilities as a leader, if not a head coach. His record-tying 408th win speaks to his abilities as a head coach.
