Would like to see JC get 4 TDs! But Pitt earns a win so be it for me! Looks to me Babers is setting up a Cuse's Bushwhack for Pitt Players, better be ready! Big disappointment if Cuse earns the upset!
Excerpts:
The year was 2013, and Babers had just been hired as the coach at Bowling Green, which was meeting Pitt in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl in Detroit. “My first official act as the head football coach at Bowling Green was to attend their bowl game,” he said. “I stood on that sideline and watched the team play while I watched Conner run the football, and I'm sitting there going, ‘Wow, that's what a running back looks like.' ” Onward and upward, Babers was hired at Syracuse after only two years at Bowling Green, and he will bring his Orange (4-7, 2-5) into Heinz Field on Saturday to meet Pitt (7-4, 4-3) in the regular-season finale for both teams. He doesn't sound like he's looking forward to the experience. “I'm about to see (Conner) up close and personal again with a defense that's beat up and a bunch of young guys up on the front,” Babers said. “It could be a nightmare.”...................... Syracuse is a 241⁄2-point underdog, the 11th time this season the betting line favored the opponent. But Syracuse has a team whose strength — a big-play passing game — might match up well with Pitt's weakness................Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi said Syracuse's fast-paced offense is “the fastest one we faced this year, without a doubt.”
