PITT-Duke Game Day Prediction:
Normally, by the 10th Game one would think it favors Pitt, but in reality, just like the last 3 Years the Teams are very even due to good coaching more than talent. Since Pitt Offense has not been able to score over 30 Points, the game should favor Duke. Yet, it is time for all the Panther Players to step up. In additiuon, Chryst is no longer at Pitt to make bad calls near the end of games, and lacking Special Teams Coaching. This is a pure Toss Up Game and Duke is suffering from mental breakdowns in Miami and UNC games, just like Pitt against UNC and ND? However, Duke's Defense has disappeared worst than Pitt. It is time for Peterman to explode, other Wideouts appear not just Boyd, Tight Book Ends, and Whitehead can play a big role in making all that happen on offense and on Defense. Yet, it will still come down to a Kick or two?, nope! If Pitt loses this Team will struggle to win 7 Games not 8 or 9 or 10? Still, wake up time happens for Pitt as leaving UNC and Notre Dame's Echoes behind? A Big Win for Pitt and many will enjoy seeing this Team come together!
Game Day Prediction:
44 PITT Duke 34
Preseason Prediction @Duke August 2015
Ditto above but on steroids. These two teams have scored 50 points against one another the last two years. Does anyone expect anything else this game. Well, that will depend on Coach Pat & Staff having a healthy Team of key players. Duke’s Coach will be ready but was the last two years too. Pitt had them beat last year and the lead but Chryst’s Special Teams and Chryst’s dumb calls cost the game?
