We know Heupel will have our wrs schemed open all day long, Hooker dials in his long balls a bit and we put 50 on these cats.This Pitt coach prides himself on stopping the run so the game is set. It's their DB's, man to man coverage, versus our wide receivers and Hooker. Put 45 on the board and take our chances.
hard to say in a game by game manner. Western Michigan outscored us last year and even beat Pitt. I think our offensive output is similar to last years (31 and 34 are similar) while theirs drops off both from losing Pickett/Addison and our defense improving some.You don’t think we score more than WVU did vs Pitt?
Ced, Bru, and Jalin will definitely get a lot of 1 on 1 chances. Can we neuter their D-line long enough to take advantage? Our receivers are definitely better than their cornersThis Pitt coach prides himself on stopping the run so the game is set.

Ced will not get one on one coverage. They will use some form of double team to limit him. It will be up to the others to get open and make playsCed, Bru, and Jalin will definitely get a lot of 1 on 1 chances. Can we neuter their D-line long enough to take advantage?

I saw a breakdown this weekend around how to defend our offense and they basically said you are forced to play man. If you play cover 3 or something similar, good night. Boy, I am excited for this weekend as I believe Pitt’s luck against us last year (wide open overthrows) and West Virginia’s careless handling of the ball last week will not happen on Saturday. Commence a beat down that brings much of the national hype back.They may have to use man vs our spread. Either way, if they double him, one of our other guys is gonna fire up their head.
They will stack the box to stop the run. We carry the wide splits to spread them out. Their LBs will be unavailable for help in pass protection or coverage. If we can't run it up the middle, we'll blister them on the edge and kill them in the screen and deep shot game.This Pitt coach prides himself on stopping the run so the game is set.

Also, I just have a feeling our defense will have a coming out party. Especially pass pressure. We'll see.
The only thing our defense showed last week was about 30 players playing during the game That included a number of true and red short freshmen. Pitt has no correct idea what our defense will show.Also, I just have a feeling our defense will have a coming out party. Especially pass pressure. We'll see.
