Extra Points: Purple Pain

Posted Sep 30, 2013
Saturday's abysmal performance was foreshadowed on the Pirates' third snap of the game when Justin Hardy took a dink throw four yards past the line of scrimmage and linebacker Travis Hughes had him dead to rights. Hardy gained 13 yards instead of four. Extrapolate that over four quarters and spread it around 11 players and it's no wonder the Pirates gained 603 yards. (GoHeels.com)
