"""pittpitt, post: 432905, member: 1218"]Factors that can keep Syracuse in this one: They have gotten plenty of interceptions and fumble recoveries (6 of each). Their QB is efficient, has only thrown 1 interception in 92 attempts, and spreads the ball around to a lot of receivers -- plus he's good for 30-50 rushing yards/game. They have scored 24 or 30 points during regulation of all 5 of their FBS games, including against LSU. They have a decent pass rush and are generally aggressive up front. They are much tougher at home than on the road. Factors working against Syracuse in this one: Their D gives up big passing yardage, which an efficient QB who doesn't throw many picks or take bad sacks can exploit (that would be Peterman). Their rush attack isn't good. Their QB is a true freshman who is due for more interceptions. Those 24-30 points in regulation come against a lot of teams that regularly give up even more points than that. They just have a hard time making it all work together and can be beaten in the second half. Overall: It's up to Peterman to make quick decisions and hit short passes, letting Boyd, Holtz, Orndoff, and the RB's get the YAC as Syracuse's D over-commits downhill -- this is something our O has all the pieces for, so do it Chaney. On D, Pitt has got to pressure the QB into bad decisions, which will completely shut down their offense. The first half could be close since it's in Syracuse, but halftime adjustments are the difference as Pitt's are great and theirs are generally not good.
Pitt 27-13
This game is very important for the establishment of Coach Pat Narduzzi's Trademark for the future of the Pitt Program. Coach Pat & Staff has to prove they are not like Harris, Wannstedt, Graham & Chryst without being bushwhacked by Cuse like what happen to Chryst losing 13-14 in 2012? It really set back Pitt with that loss but Coach Pat & Staff does make great Half Time Adjustments not seen at Pitt since the 1980s. This shows in the Game Day Preparation and Players ability to adapt to the the other teams Game Plan after the Half Time. A win at Cuse followed by beating pretty good UNC Team on Thursday and Pitt could be it for the rest of the season. A Loss to Cuse will be a big disappointment for Pitt Fans and the Program. I smell big recruiting on the way with this win and getting better if they beat UNC, Duke, ULou and Miami too!"""""
Pitt won in a tight game, showing Coach Pat has the Coaching Teaching abilities with his own style of football guile faster than the others seemed to lack before at Pitt?
Again UNC is no gimme and neither is ND, Duke, ULou, and Miami.....but if Pitt beats UNC, watch out they could have a very nice season if they take one play at a time, game by game, and avoid key injuries?
