Carlo Calabrese. Matters turned worse for the Irish when officials ejected junior defensive end Stephon Tuitt for targeting on the first play of the second quarter. "I thought Louis battled," Kelly said. "He was nicked up, he was banged, he was sore — he's a competitive kid. He gave us everything he had and gave us a lot of football. Certainly when we lost Stephon early, it was pretty clear we were undermanned inside. "It wasn't hard [to find replacements]. We knew who [the replacements] were." In addition to the mixing and matching due to Tuitt's ejection and Nix's aggravation, junior linebacker Ishaq Williams and senior defensive lineman Kona Schwenke sat out. Linebackers Jarrett Grace and Ben Councell, and defensive linemen Tony Springmann and Chase Hounshell, all juniors, were previously lost for the season. ✦ Pittsburgh individual statistics Rushing Bennett Conner Savage Boyd Street Parrish Team Total No.GainLost Net Avg.
