Pitt's O is obviously very good but what that list tells me more than anything is that Clemson's D is suspect. Gave up 34, 36 and 43 points to 3 of the 4 good teams they played. Auburn being the 4th but I don't know how powerful their O is supposed to be.

It's not even debatale, Pitt's offense is flat out better than even those top teams. It was literally the defense and defense only that kept us from being a top 5 or 10 team. Still very pleased with this season, but to look at Pitt and 8-4 and think it's surprising they scored against Clemson is simple minded. Their offense absolutely is that good.
