No. It's not a good win because it's Syracuse. A school that's only beat Pitt twice in the last ten years (by a combined total of 4 points) despite how terrible Pitt's program has been.

I hear you man and I read a lot of your post so I know your a passionate fan, but are you at least willing to admit that this syracuse team was better than the average one over the past few years and that it seems like they are trending up? Conversely, a win against them in some way can be seen as an improvement. I'm willing to admit I though we may get taken behind the wood shed so the performance on Saturday impressed me a bit.
A team that cannot pass the ball in this era of football has very little chance of long term success. It is unacceptable. If that kicker misses that 45 yard field goal that (inability to pass at all) would be the only thing that is being discussed this week.
I was shocked this Pitt team didn't roll over and die yet (probably the best thing you can say about Duzz's coaching this season) but other than hanging with Clemson and their Frosh QB, I haven't seen enough out of Syracuse to say they've improved. Clemson seems really vulnerable to letdown games more than Syracuse is playing up to that level. Their offense can score points but defensively, anyone with a running game is going to crush them. Like I said earlier, if the expectations for Pitt were higher this season, Duzz would have been talking about how they got away with a win. Not diving on a pile after the game.
