Pitt loses that game by 30+ last year. Clemson obviously has a boat load more talent and Pitt took them to the wire.
Now I still think that Pitt is capped at an 8-4 average, but I think Pat still made the right change going to a guy like bell. Yesterday showed the scheme is sound as things were open all over the place.
You have to address offensive talent though. You absolutely also have to address the o line above all else. I think if they have even slightly better o line play they win against both UVA and Clemson…I think that is the major difference right now.
Either way, I said I was giving Pat a hard reset with bell and I’ll stick to that. If they finish 7-5 this year and go 4-8 next year, well that is a different story, but I really think that they are in a decent spot moving forward, at least relative to what I think Pitt football can really be.
