We are one quarter away from hosting an undefeated, Top 15 Cardinals team for Homecoming Night. Good luck, Christian (or Nate).
Louisville vs Notre Dame
- Thread starter HailToPitt725
- Start date
I would say that Pitt has a chance to pull the upset, but we're legit terrible this year, so nope.
Who knows, we’ve had some luck in the past playing a first-time starter at QB against a highly ranked opponent.
Louisville wins tonight they might shoot their wad and be flat next week.
Man, to think that Wanny didn't like to go for it on 4th and 3 from his own 40 and Freeman goes for that on 4th and 11.
Not good for Pitt that they're turning it around. Louisville is a direct competitor for a lot of our recruits.
I honestly don't think Louisville is all that great. This is not one of Notre Dame's better teams, and they just came off two physical/emotional slugfests.
That said... Louisville's schedule, which was poked fun at even before the season, somehow looks worse now. Pitt, Duke without Leonard, and the two Virginia teams are up next. They might be 10-0 heading into Miami.
I honestly think we beat them now, just because I cannot picture them doing that. They're simply not that good.

They looked good to me. Good DL. Good QB. Good RB. Coaches without their heads up their behinds.
QB is definitely not a strong suit for them. Plummer is very shaky. They beat the brakes off ND without much of an offense today.
Smf will be writing how is Louisville better than Ohio state?
Louisville played a complete game. Very good on both sides of the ball

ND's QB, Hartman, is the Wake Forrest QB that Pitt manhandled
in the ACC championship game. He must have thought's last
night's thrashing by Louisville was de ja vu. I don't like Louisville,
but I'm glad it was another ACC school that kicked his ass.
Not being an ND fan, I was happy to watch this game unfold as it did.
I just hope I don't see the same next week against our new QB.

over 20 I think they said were brought in.
Setting up as a good trap game for Pitt. Louisville will have to feel some type of hangover after the big win against ND. With a new QB starting for Pitt, might be a spark and a chance to turnaround the season.
Eh…don’t see Pitt stopping that RB…hope I’m wrong…but Tuten was pedestrian in comparison. Quick passes have to be the gameplan or we’ll get to see our TE at QB again by attrition……
I agree with everything in this post except Pitt beating Ville. They may not be “that good”, but we’re turrible. When your 6th year starting QB gets moved to TE 6 games in, that kinda says it all.
And even though this ND team may not be all that great, they do have a very good OL, one of the best in college football. And Ville just absolutely manhandled it.
That plus the fact that Jeff Brohm can coach circles around Yabba Dabba and, well, you so the math.
you’ll see much worse next week.
He’s a very good passer. But he was under constant, relentless pressure all night. When he had time, he made good decisions and throws. But Ville stopped the run cold, forced ND to throw more than they want to, and went after Hartman like a pack of wild dogs.
And that’s against a good OL. I can only imagine what they’ll do next week.
Pitt’s defense will be the least of its concerns next week. The O won’t move the ball an inch.
I see the Cards coming out flat, but feckless Pitt won’t capitalize. Louisville will wake up and blow it open before halftime.
I do think this will be the game that tells us whether the players have quit on their coach.
The game sets up as a trap game for Loserville. Panthers have this one in the bag.
They will come in off one of their biggest home wins ever in the history of the program and have a big let down. Also, their coach, Brohm said himself that his Purdue team had 3 Top 5 wins at Purdue only to come back and lose the following game.
Plus, Pitt has has them at home.

You mean this SOS that came out yesterday? UofL 37 Pitt 52

Or if the coaches, specifically Cignetti, have quit on them. Remember, Cig handpicked Jurk; apparently (if Duz can be believed in the least) refused to allow a QB change, even as winnable games were going down the drain week after week; clearly he wanted no part of the QB change. So now that it’s been forced upon him, is he going to have even half a heart in calling an excellent game? Then again it might be better if he didn’t try…
Duz himself may well lack much heart. The change may well have been forced upon him as well. And they both made it a very public point to maneuver the depth chart to throw Jurk right back in there upon the first sign of adversity for Veilleux.
Much like KP this past Sunday it might end up players making big plays on their own initiative, if anything good happens. There is very little reason to have faith in the coaches, Duz and Cig particularly.
Okay, and here's one that has Pitt at 27 and Louisville at 61. Gee, that was tough.

Your schedule sucks. Let's compare where it's ranked after the season. Pitt sucks. Kentucky is way overvalued right now based on a win against a bad Florida team. NC State is worse than people thought, though it's not yet reflected in the record. ND is overrated and will lose one or two more. And somehow you avoid Clemson, UNC, and FSU.
If you think this is a tough schedule, you're a fool.
Georgia Tech
Murray State
Indiana
Boston College
NC State
Notre Dame
Pitt
Duke (possibly without Leonard)
Virginia Tech
Virginia
Miami
Kentucky
As we're seeing, even a mediocre team can start 6-0 - and might be 10-0 - against that slate of off-casts.
Good day for the Cards. Notre Dame winning should improve the SOS.
