Time to start talking about the bowl game!

Big Easy Pony · Post by **Big Easy Pony** » Sun Dec 25, 2011 9:58 pm

My questions:

1. Who starts at RB? Williams or Wimbley?

2. In each of the last 2 bowl games, we had someone who was a good player before, but really stepped up with a big performance. In Hawaii, it was Kyle Padron. Last year, Darius Johnson. This year?

3. Who's healthy? Banjo? Acker? Pittman? Brooks?

4. How much will the coaching change at Pitt affect the Panthers, as they try to get motivated and learn the SMU schemes and personnel?

Beat Pitt!

Williams
DJ3
Everyone it sounds like. Pittman is supposed to be practicing this week.
No idea, but I hope it impacts them horribly.

Ja'Gared Davis and Taylor Reed with double figure tackles and a couple of turnovers.

Watched the TCU game last week again. I sure hope this team (sans Line, avec Beasley) shows up with that kind of intensity for 4 quarters. Then we will Beat Pitt!

I wonder if Williams has made it out of the doghouse for fumbling. A coaching change is something the Pitt team is used to. Philly B was the interim head coach as they rolled in last years bowl game after Wannstedt got canned.

I think JGD will have a big game and I think Margus will block at least one kick. We need big games for all players and for 4 qtrs!
KICK 'EM MUSTANGS'!!!!!!

Oh, almost forgot, I think our truly awesome, tough QB will have a remarkable game for us!

Have you guys Seen Pitt play this year

Tino sunseri makes Jj look like joe Montana

Ray graham was all Pitt had going for it on offense and he's out

I really hope Jj doesn't ruin this game bc in reality smu is a way way better team

he'll be fine. Foot will be healed. All the nuts bagging on him on here will be calling for a 6th year.

First off, thanks to Big Easy for getting us focused on the task at hand: BEATING PITT!

I doubt Williams is "in the doghouse." He only fumbled once, right? Mistakes happen - learn from them, and beat Pitt!

I think J.J. McDermott will play well. I firmly believe he was hurt more than we were led to believe (or he wouldn't have helped us put up 40 per game for a few weeks), and if he is healthy, I expect a solid game.

Cole Beasley will go out in style: 11 catches, 180-190 yards, 2 scores.

Margus Hunt will go from a guy "right on the cusp of figuring it all out" to a guy who absolutely wrecks shop on national TV.

One interception each for Richard Crawford and Kenneth Acker.

Final score: SMU 27, Pitt 13

I dont see how a bad foot causes a red zone interception every game.

He sucks but Tino is more better at sucking.

unable to effectively move in the pocket. Passes are rushed which leads to poor decisions.

I hope you are right.

JJ had flashes of brilliance early. Hopefully he recovers.

There were so many times Darius was wide open deep this season. If Cole, Darius and JJ have big games this should be a fun bowl game.
