Miami-PITT Game Analysis & Prediction, LINK!

[CaptainSidneyReilly]

Well, once again a tough game match up that can go either way. Miami earlier was a Top 15 Ranked Team but now lost 4 in a row, and hungry to stop the bleeding. Meaning, Pitt gets little credit if they win, and much scorn if they lose?

The Canes have the coaching, talent and speed to stop Pitt Attack but can the Pitt Defense at least keep the Canes of Pain under 20 points? They have far more talent as far as 4 & 5 Stars, and it is away.

It is a good match up on preparing for the Clemson Game in every way. It can be difference of going more likely 8-4 and 7-5? Under Harris and Chryst, Pitt Special Teams often let the entire Pitt Team down, but Pitt might able to counter and neutralize that this year? Can't call it right now but here is a great detailed early analysis and prediction and good read?
EXCERPT:
When: Saturday, Nov. 5 – 12:30 p.m. ET
Where: Hard Rock Stadium, Miami, FL
TV Broadcast: ACC Extra
Advantages

Offense: Pitt.
The Panthers are averaging 38.1 points per game, while Miami is putting up 32.9 points per contest.

Defense:
Miami. The Panthers’ secondary is a real detriment to the team’s hopes of an ACC division title.

Special Teams:
Even. Miami took advantage of several Notre Dame special teams miscues last week, but Pitt still has Quadree Henderson, who is one of the nation’s most productive all-purpose performers.

Coaching:
Even. Richt is in a tough stretch, while Narduzzi needs to get his team on track with a tough few games coming up.

Intangibles:
Even. Both teams are scuffling and badly need a win.

"The Canes have the coaching, talent and speed to stop Pitt Attack" Perhaps so--however, no one has done it yet! PSU did a better job of stopping tOSU than they did of Pitt.

The Miami average scoring of 32.5 per game is artificially inflated by their early results vs weak opposition. They have struggled to get to 20 vs legit opponents (27 against a slumping bad ND was their only 20+ scoring game since feeding on a weak OOC schedule).

I think Pitt gets at least 35 again--possibly more and Miami will need to get more than that to win (which is certainly possible vs Pitt's bad pass defense but not guaranteed). IMHO, if Miami wins it will be closer than 6.5.

I hate to be Debbie Downer, but this game doesn't shape up well for us. On the road, against a team that is desperate for a win. The Canes have played poorly, but they have plenty of talent particularly at the skill positions. Pitt's defense would have a hard time handling Slippery Rock with the way they are playing currently. The offense should put up big numbers, but my fear is that we're eventually going to have a bad outing from that offense....it happens. All of this adds up to an unpleasant outcome:

Miami: 38

Pitt: 28

Good Points and Post! It will be hard to take another 7, 3, 1 point loss, I hope the Defense comes together for Miami and Clemson! However, Cuse won' t be an easy win either.

[EastOhioPanther]

How many here have watched Miami? Their defense is not good. (Lots of injuries.. lots of young players). We will score.. However, the issue is, Kaaya will throw better than Evans did for VT.. So its a matter of how much Miami scores..

Pitt has beaten Miami twice over the last 40 or so years. The result will likely be the same.

Boy, you made my day, your predictions have been darn good all year long on Pitt!

 

[CaptainSidneyReilly]

My disappointment is if Pitt does beat Miami it still won't get much credit, since the Canes, dropped 4 games?
OKSU was Ranked & picked to win Big-12 by some, Pitt comes up short by 7? WVU badly beaten by OKSU!

UNC was on key chance to beat another ranked Team, Pitt missed by 1??

VT hits Top 25, and Pitt comes up short again???

Miami, Duke, and Cuse still important to win, but the true Measurement Top 5 Test is Clemson at Clemson in 2 weeks? Playing good against Miami is a must to be ready for Clemson, as I am concern?

Going 9-3 and winning a Bowl at 10-3 would be just fine with me! But So Little Done And So Much To Do To Win In Top 25!

 

[EastOhioPanther]

Boy, you made my day, your predictions have been darn good all year long on Pitt!

Thanks Captain.. Sometimes I can be a little optimistic... I think it will be a good game.. I just don't see Miami's D being near VT's D... The question just cones down to how many points our D holds Miami to... Which is really not a tough analysis.. Just hoping the final comes out in our favor...

Pitt 42 Miami 31

 

[CaptainSidneyReilly]

Pitt heads south. The Canes of Pain took a Poison Arrow from Florida State and have had a tough time to recover by losing 4 straight. Is Pitt's Defense fixed or Canes Offense revives, can Canes Defense stop Pitt Mighty Offense? Coaching and Special Teams negate each other in this one!

Pitt QB, OLs, RBs, WRs & TEs plus O'Neil is one of the Top NCAA Offenses able to run anytime and anywhere while the Pitt Defensive Line, Linebackers & Safeties stop the Run.

Yet, Pitt DBs keep trying to beat up, beat on, and have too many flickers of non-executed misses? Pitt DBs make every Opposing QBs & WRs they play set Team Records every game as well?

So, what will happen....more of the same in every game or does the Panther's finally have a Bi-Partisan Offensive & Defensive Game just before Election Day?

Until I see it, I cannot believe it, so another close TOSS UP either way! But like PSU, GT & UVA want it to go Pitt Is It way, instead of OKSU, UNC & VT!

Pitt by a DB Flicker of Inches on a 4th Down Saves the Day unlike the Tar Heel's Game of Yesterday!

PITT 36 Miami 35!

 

[heybandguy]

Taking Pitt by 3, 31-28.
Keep Kayaa and the Pitt defense off the field by pounding the ground with Conner and company.If the panthers can chew up clock and ground yards, they can win by more.

[VAPITTALUM]

The secondary comes up with a big play, similar to the one Whitehead made against UVA. PITT does enough on offense to limit time of possession for Miami.

PITT: 38
Canes: 31

 

[EastOhioPanther]

It was mentioned in a different thread that Miami's top 2 WR's are 6'1".. although they are burners, they may not have an advantage with Jump balls...
After looking at Miami stats...
Their 2 TE's have a combined 40 catches, and RBs' add in another 26... So at least 66 of his Kaaya's147 completions are not to WR's...
We may have a bigger concern with our LB's/S's than our CB's in this game...
There is a potential that our base D, is a better match for Miami's offense than it was for Okie State, UNC, VT.....
Looking forward to see how the D does in this game...
I know this is cliche, but this game could easily hinge on Turnovers..... GT gave Miami 2 scores with 2 turnovers, and that was the differnce in that game... If we control the ball and win Turnover ratio.. I'm hoping this as a Pitt win...

Need to win the turnover battle, maybe a special teams/defensive TD, and pull off a trick play. Although I'm hoping for a win, that's a lot of "needs". Unfortunately: Miami 49 Pitt 38

Pitt 38. Miami 34. Count it.

I think Pitt overcomes a slow start this time, and price/defense holds them to field goals in the red zone after second half adjustments.

Feels wierd predicting scores like this

 

[medixman]

Can't make a prediction on this one,I've been up in a tree too much this week.I only watched Miami play Fla State and they looked decent in that one.But they lost to ND which is in a bit of turmoil and now they've lost 4 straight.Sorry to say it but I think it's going to be a shootout and another 3 Pt win for someone but I don't know who.My God I sound like a politician and that's not good.Big question can Pitt's D keep Miami from throwing for 350+?????H2P and We Are going to beat Iowa by 10!

 

[CaptainSidneyReilly]

"medixman, post: 1649488, member: 28301"]Can't make a prediction on this one,I've been up in a tree too much this week.
OK, be honest, are you living up there in that Tree Stand, did you and your Wife have a fight, you have talking about killing Bucks and Deer, the last 3 weeks or did you mean "Dears"? Do you need a Lawyer? Just ribbing and kidding!

I only watched Miami play Fla State and they looked decent in that one.But they lost to ND which is in a bit of turmoil and now they've lost 4 straight.Sorry to say it but I think it's going to be a shootout and another 3 Pt win for someone but I don't know who.
So, you are calling a TOSS UP like me? 36-35 Pitt but could go the UNC way too? Now I am worried if it is that close then that means Pitt Defense is still quite bad and will be beaten again?

My God I sound like a politician and that's not good.
This is Election Week!

Big question can Pitt's D keep Miami from throwing for 350+?????H2P and We Are going to beat Iowa by 10!
If you are Wrong, you have to come out of that Tree Stand fellow, you might have Buckskin Fever!

Thanks, now get a "Deer" or "Buck" and "Beware the Buckskins Babes", and you still have no idea what i am talking about when I mention them so I googled it just 4 You!
