• Who: Blue vs. Gold • What: Pitt's spring game • When: 1:05 p.m. • Where: Acrisure Stadium • Weather: 44°, cloudy • Radio:Panthers Radio Network
► FOLLOW ALONG
• We have a victory formation ... in a spring game. Final: Blue 17, Gold 14
• Looks like Holstein is trying to lobby for one more drive. He's ran back and forth across the field a few times talking to teammates and coaches on the Blue side.
• TOUCHDOWN: Holstein finds Sapp for a four-yard score. PAT Good. Blue, 17-14
• Cook now has 11 catches today.
• Holstein was 3-of-8 on that last drive for 52 yards. He's thrown for 97 yards today.
• London misses another. This one was from 42 yards.
• Thomas with a lot of drops today, just had another one in the end zone. It would've been Holstein's first touchdown pass of the day. He's looked better on this drive.
• Holstein lets a really nice pass go but it falls through the hands of Tony Kinsler. I would say that's probably the best pass he's thrown.
• TOUCHDOWN: Cook punches it into the end zone from short yardage. PAT good. Blue, 17-7
• Lynch currently 7-for-7 on this drive. Just hit Johnson across he middle.
• We head to the fourth quarter with the Gold team trailing by 17 points. The Gold hasn't really had any success offensively.
• Holstein picked off again by Harrison. He was targeting Cam Sapp heading into the end zone and Holstein severely underthrew it.
• Zach Zollers gets to Heintschel for a sack and the Gold offense is set to take over.
• Lineman Keith Gouveia in the middle of a little scrum near midfield. There was some pushing and trash-talking after that one.
• It's a pitch to Dugger and then a pass to Fowler-El for a nine-yard gain.
• Heintschel and Dugger both in the game right now.
• Holstein has been targeting Thomas a lot today, the tight end has to have at least seven or eight targets. Just missed on a big pass down the middle of the field.
• Hicks showed off some pretty elite speed on that score, blew through the Gold secondary.
• TOUCHDOWN: First play of the second half a pass from Heintschel to Hicks for a 65-yard score. PAT good. Blue, 17-0
• The half ends on a screen pass to Cook. Blue, 10-0
• Back-to-back incompletions from Holstein to Thomas.
• Dugger tries to climb through the pocket on fourth down and is stopped for a sack. Gold takes over with 11 seconds left in the first half.
• Dugger completes a few nice passes to start this drive, between 5-9 yards down field and then picks up 14 yards with his feet.
• James London, a transfer from Murray State, misses a 33-yard field goal and the Gold offense has still not scored.
• There have been A LOT of passes to running backs today.
• Nice pocket presence from Lynch, saw it collapsing and a blitzer coming late, left early and picked up the first down with his feet.
• Tamon Lynum was just matched up against Johnson and looked him up on a 50/50 ball in the end zone.
• Cook just had a gain of nine, showing a lot of shiftiness out of the backfield and a burst of speed.
• Lynch does a nice job of getting away from pressure and completes a 15-yard pass to Cook. Longest gain of the day for the Gold offense.
• Turner has looked decent for the Blue offense today. Running pretty hard, moving his feet, getting the edge. It is a spring game with no tackling, so hard to get a good judgement.
• David Lynch is in at quarterback for the gold offense.
• Julian Dugger is now in at quarterback for Blue.
• Two illegal formation penalties on the Gold offense leads to the first punt of the game.
• Heintschel is 6-of-7 for 35 yards so far today. Holstein is 4-of-7 for 26 yards and an interception.
• Greene talking with Kenny Pickett about 10-15 yards behind the line of scrimmage.
• TOUCHDOWN:Kyle Louis just entered the game at running back, caught a pitch from Heintschel and threw a left handed 14-yard pass to Zion Fowler-El. The man can do it all. PAT good. Blue, 10-0
• Heintschel completes a nice pass to Bryce Yates on a curl rate for 11 yards. the young quarterback has looked solid so far today. Nice timing on his passes, hitting receivers in step and is decisive.
• Holstein's pass on fourth down, falls incomplete. Blue takes over. Not a lot of rhythm from Gold's offense.
• Braylan Lovelace gets to Holstein for a "sack"
• FIELD GOAL:Sam Carpenter puts it through the uprights from 29 yards. Blue, 3-0
• Cameron Lindsay breaks up a Heintschel pass intended for Jake Overman in the endzone to force a field goal.
• Rather than play-by-play stuff, I'll probably just share general observations here from today. They aren't playing tackle today.
• Ja'Kyrian Turner breaks off a big run and then Heintschel throws sideways pass to Cataurus Hicks.
• On his second pass attempt, Eli Holstein is picked off by Shadarian Harrison on a receiver screen. They'll start on the 42. Mason Heintschel is at QB for the Blue squad.
• No kickoff today. Gold will start with the ball.
• Allen Greene is here on the sidelines as well.
• There won't be any live stats during the game, I'll have updates afterward though.
• The team comes on the field to "Thunderstruck"
• Just a few observations of players not dressed today, Rashan Murray, Juelz Goff, Amah Agwu, Rashad Battle, John Glenn, Nick Lapi, Jackson Brown. It doesn't look like Poppi Williams is dressed either.
