Twitter Reaction to Massive Pitt Win Against YSU and 4-0 Start

As expected, Youngstown State’s defense had no answers for Eli Holstein and the Pitt offense as the Panthers rolled to a 73-17 win.

Holstein’s magical start to this Pitt career continued as he finished 16-of-24 for 247 yards and three touchdown passes, along with 93 yards rushing and two rushing touchdowns.

The redshirt freshman is the first Pitt quarterback to throw for three touchdowns in each of the first four games of the season since former Pitt quarterback Rod Rutherford in 2003.

The other story of the day was the career-best game for sixth-year senior running back Daniel Carter, who rushed for 115 yards and racked up three touchdowns.

All in all, it’s the kind of day Pitt wanted heading into their bye week.

Rank Us please thanks!

Raise your hand if going into the season, you thought this would be the year Pitt would go 4-0 in non-conference. H2P

Pitt HC Pat Narduzzi on today's performance:

"That's the way we scripted the win today. We wanted to put the foot to the pedal."

Said the last three meetings against YSU were to close and this one is how you do it.

Pitt has 2 good QBs and plenty of WR depth if the Defense can find some interior D linemen,this team may just have something

Big time win. Pitt took care of business and dominated from start to finish. Eli is a special player that is for sure. This team is in great hands

#Pitt QB Eli Holstein said that he left two or three touchdowns on the field.

He told Ben Sauls that he's not supposed to be kicking field goals, he's supposed to be kicking extra points.

The No. 1 song in America the last time Pitt started a season 4-0 was 'Music' by Madonna.

I know it was YSU but Pitt’s performance today was impressive. And I only need to point out the number of these FCS games that Pitt struggled in and even lost over the years to understand how nice it was that they just kicked their ass from the opening bell to the end
