They showed it on gameday. Field is at centre of speedway. Nearest seats are about 100 yards further away than normal. They said it will be a great venue but what are they gonna say. It's the college football of a winter classic.

Those Pitt helmets look like ****. I thought the flat finish look was dead after the Jacksonville debacle.

i agree! The gold helmets would have looked fine with the blue unis. Not liking the flat look, at all.

Pitt is cruising! A lot of football to be played and wouldn't doubt PSU comes back in the 2nd half. Seen that dog before.

100 yards or 100 feet? 100 yards further away and the closest seats are peanut heaven.

Looking like a blowout. Franklin has to be on the hot seat. Wouldn't it be something if Penn State stole Narduzzi from Pitt?

bogus TD by the Penn State RB. never got in. Side official ruled it a TD before he could cross the goal line.

Some of the social media stuff I'm seeing today makes me laugh.... Neither of these teams seem very good... ultimately Penn state doesnt have the D and Pitt has no passing game to speak of. As a guy who follows both a bit i find most hardcore fans of these teams to be delusionally stuck in the past.... neither are really going to be national contenders again....

So ok, You are Penn State... you have all the momentum in the world... Pitt only has a rushing game... why not play for OT there....

I'm surprised they didn't make this game for 3:30 or even a prime time night game. Look at this week's schedule and this may be the best game of the day. There are no ranked matchups this week. It's cupcake weekend.

Virginia Tech vs Tennessee looks to be the only other possibly interesting game, but after Tenn's squeaker vs App State, who knows?

Bet next season it gets a prime time slot... it was a good game

QB got greedy. Great game that needs to be a tradition again. Screw the politics

I dvr'd the game, out autocrossing this morning.

DVR stopped recording after the 2 point PSU conversion.

Two teams that are going nowhere, but I did enjoy the Pitt win.

Young kid had a few successful throws down field and got a little gun happy. He will learn there was an easy first down + on the top of the field. This is a young team that's going to have growing pains but I feel by the end of the season they will be playing good ball and next year watch out.

Hats off to Pitt was good to see this rivalry revived.

Very entertaining game and a great atmosphere today. Pitt did their best to blow that one, but thankfully they didn't.

Yes, the comeback had nothing to do with the defense settling down and the offense finally getting on track...
