Both teams trying to run and will continue to try and pound the ball. Steelers getting good pressure on Blake giving him no time to get comfortable in the pocket, resulting in bad passes. Pitt playing old pitt ball, ball control, move the chains. Bill Cower has some new wrinkles this week,good plays. Pitt is 5 of 7 on 3rd down, on 1 3rd down they ran a half back draw fleaflicker, pass down field for big gain. Then later, ran a draw this time on 3rd and 4 and got about 13. Arizona is trying to establish Shipp, but Pitt is stingy against the run, and if can keep pressure on Blake should see good defensive effort today. Pitt playing Ike Taylor today(on defense), rookie special teamer. He is doing a good job. Believe the steelers continue to run the ball 2nd half and try and control the clock, keeping their defense fresh. Final play pitt 2nd half under ,Like Pitt here as well, Arizona only pts of fumble by Bettis at their own 20, they held Arizona to field goal, defense looks different than past few weeks, they actually have guys around the ball, and guys getting pressure on Blake. Past few weeks recievers were wide open, not today. Pitt has good stats when leading at half. Play Pitt -3 --and pitt 2nd half under 19 --best play
