Here's an interesting, but heartbreaking, stat.

Michigan State and Pitt tied for last in the nation with an average of allowing opponents 12 points per 4th quarter.

I don't care about speed speed speed.

But that last stat of 4th quarter points, if accurate, is extremely alarming. is that a symptom of getting out coached or a young team learning how to win? not a good stat to have either way

I almost completely forgot about the whole "4th quarter party" from last year and getting fired up for it. So much for that I guess.

Heh, forgot about that too.
It always reminded me of the gasoline fight in Zoolander.

There is a chance Pitt could face them in Sun bowl so you could put your hypothesis to the test.

Like others have said, that 4th quarter stat is the most alarming (trust me, they are all alarming, but that stat really drives home some of the issues). There are only 3 teams (Nova, UVA, VT) that PITT has outscored in the 4th quarter. Last year, PITT outscored 5 of their 13 opponents in the 4th quarter, which still isn't great. This team may be trending in the same direction this year with at least 3, hopefully 4, games remaining on their schedule.

Good point about the 4th quarter. No Conner, no running game there not a coincidence.

Pitt could have both the lowest and highest scoring Sun Bowls ever!

Worse yet, keep in mind there are only 65 Power 5 teams.
