Pitt Might Need More From Connor To Keep Miami, Clemson Offenses Off Field, LINK!

[CaptainSidneyReilly]

Once again, how High Tech is changing CFB! My only problem...why telegraph it to Miami and Clemson to prepare to stop Conner??? I smell some mighty misdirection here, does anyone else?
Excerpt:
In a high-tech attempt to monitor football players' movements and heart rate, Pitt purchased several GPS devices. Not every player wears one, but coach Pat Narduzzi said running back James Conner is never without his. Recent results are encouraging, Narduzzi said. They probably will affect how offensive coordinator Matt Canada plans to attack Miami's defense Saturday in Miami Gardens, Fla. Kickoff is set for 12:30 p.m. at Hard Rock Stadium. “He's practicing at even higher speed right now than he did (early in the season),” Narduzzi said. “I think he played (last week) at 20 miles per hour, which in previous games it was 18, and you could really see it. “I told him we're going to crank it up to 21 miles an hour this weekend.” ...........Pitt might turn to Conner more than at any time this season when it plays the Hurricanes (4-4, 1-3 ACC) and No. 3 Clemson in its next two games. Those teams can score quickly and often, but Conner's ability to gain first downs — he is averaging 4.7 yards per carry — could take some pressure off Pitt's struggling defense......

I'm absolutely fine with Conner getting a large chunk of carries, but hope the staff doesn't forget about Moss. Both are reliable players who don't make a lot of mistakes. Miami thrives on creating turnovers, both of these guys do a great job of protecting the ball.

With Blair most likely out, Conner might be getting more snaps at DE this week!

Each offensive possession will matter in order for Pitt to win this game. That means no 3rd and longs. Hopefully Pitt sticks with it's strength (plus the return of successful jet-sweeps) and has manageable 3rd down situations. Got to score TDs and not FGs when in the red zone.
