Alex Kessman, who had gone through a very shaky streak earlier in the season, got Pitt on the board first with a 54-yard kick. Jeezus. Kenny Pickett, Pitt's quarterback, was sacked on that possession.
Pitt then forced Miami to punt but on the second play Kenny Pickett, chased by Miami's front line threw a bad pass that was tipped by a Miami guy, went over the head of the intended receiver (that pass had no chance) and was intercepted by a second Miami guy.
That is what I saw in last year's game in Miami Gardens. Miami's front four harassed Pickett all game. He could not, and did not, do anything. And Pitt had a running game last season, two 1,000 yard rushers. They also couldn't do anything in last year's game. If Pitt's O-line can't protect Pickett that's game. Pitt has no running game this year.
