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)..............
