Field position dooms Pitt against Virginia in football opener

Pitt football head coach Pat Narduzzi met with the media today to brief them on last weekend’s game against Virginia and also discuss this weekend’s opponent, Ohio. As it usually is, the discussion revolved largely around last week’s game.

As I expected, Narduzzi heavily referenced field position as the thing that hurt Pitt the most. Unsurprisingly, he made the same argument that I did in the recap about the distances Virginia had to go to score vs. what the Panthers did.

“Their three touchdown drives were 19 yards -- they scored three touchdowns: 19 yards, 27 yards, 29 yards,” Narduzzi said.
