Well, called most Pitt Games Toss-Up all year but Clemson and see no reason to change now. Miami just does enough to get by Pitt almost every time Pitt plays them and then sometime a Blow Out. Pitt has the Offense and Special Teams to win, but Miami does too! So, Pure Toss-Up Game by 1, 3, or 7 points? I have been waiting for Pitt to have a good solid breakout game all year long, if it is going to happen, this is where it should start to happen. If not, Hello for another Game by 3?

EXCERPTS:
..............Speaking of getting in someone's face, Pitt needs to do it to Kaaya as often as possible to avoid a repeat of its previous three losses when quarterbacks Mason Rudolph of Oklahoma State, Mitch Trubisky of North Carolina and Jerod Evans of Virginia Tech totaled 1,399 yards and nine touchdowns through the air. It won't be easy. “They're going to attack us the same way (Virginia Tech did),” Pitt defensive backs coach Renaldo Hill said. “We have to make sure we closed all the barn doors.”...................
Pitt also must be concerned with Miami senior wide receiver Stacy Coley, who scored three touchdowns at Heinz Field three years ago in a 41-31 victory. Hill said Coley may be the fastest receiver Pitt has faced this season, possibly the equal of Oklahoma State's James Washington, who caught nine passes for 296 yards against Pitt. “It'd be close,” Hill said. Matched against superior athleticism, perhaps it's time for Pitt to change scheme and give its cornerbacks help with safeties. “We have to win at the line and try to change things up and maybe not give those guys one look,” Hill said.................
I've been getting a lot more reps with the ones (first team),” Hamlin said Wednesday. Senior safety Reggie Mitchell said Hamlin will be fine. “It's time to go,” Mitchell said. “You're not a freshman anymore. It came quicker than you thought. I think Damar will be ready.”
Note: Pitt leads the Power 5 and is tied with Army and Middle Tennessee for second in the nation in fewest sacks allowed (five)..............

I just don't see any way we win this with Miami's passing attack. Pitt will need to score 50+ in this game to have a chance. And maybe we should try rushing 9 guys on every play. Pressure Kaaya every snap. Let them complete their passes, because they will whether we have 5 guys back there or 2. And they will score on practically every possession, or at least have a very good chance of scoring.

Are you guys forgetting that Miami isn't very good and has lost 4 in a row!They can't block or tackle and last time I looked this is essential in winning football games!You beat the 12th ranked team in the country and your worried about Miami,you shouldn't be.Can this game go over like the last 7 Pitt games have or will the pass defense show up and keep it under?The defense will look better this week because of Pitt's pass rush, Price and his shorts will dominate Miami's O-line!.If you want to see a poorly attended game this is it,no home field advantage here!Right now I'm leaning Pitt n this one!

if Miami just throws the ball up for grabs down the sideline like Va Tech did does anyone have confidence that our corners can stop it? You really don't need a lot of time in the pocket to just drop back and heave it down the sideline
 
71 if I was a betting man and I am I'd bet Darduzzi has made some adjustments in his defense this week?Can you say zone defense,I think you'll see some Saturday but I've been wrong before!This will help the corners and maybe make the Qb hold onto the ball longer.

Well, to be fair, Pitt has been here before many times under Harris and Chryst and has usually been snake-bit, on 1 to 5 plays, that lose it! Previous games seem to never matter!

You beat the 12th ranked team in the country and your worried about Miami,you shouldn't be.
You mean NCS Playoff Ratings not Top 25 Rankings! The real Test is Ferentz Iowa Hawkeye's at Beaver, so how do you see it???

Can this game go over like the last 7 Pitt games have or will the pass defense show up and keep it under?The defense will look better this week because of Pitt's pass rush, Price and his shorts will dominate Miami's O-line!.If you want to see a poorly attended game this is it,no home field advantage here!Right now I'm leaning Pitt n this one!
Good analysis post as usual, Thank You!
