Jonathan Baldwin's effort and performance Saturday night was simply outstanding and was Fitzgerald-esk in my mind (a la diving TD grab). If the ball was anywhere around him he was coming up with it. Do you think a Biletnikoff Award is in his future or will his numbers stay somewhat grounded due to the abundant offensive tools around him (Lewis, Graham, Turner, Dickerson, etc)?

I had a question about a specific play that I thought could have been the turning point. I believe it was 27-9 and Ricky Gary was just taken off the field due to injury. It was 3rd and 16 or so. Pitt, for the first time the whole game, only rushed 3. N.D. ended up picking up the 1st down and eventually scored a touchdown. Did we go to only 3 rushers because they wanted to provide max coverage because two CBs were out. What was the thinking?
