Well.....Pitt took their first loss of the season, but they still have alot of opportunities infront of them despite that loss. They are #18 in the CFP rankings and still have a shot at the playoffs.
Pitt is currently a 7.5 pt favorite over UVA right now. While UVA has played solid at times, I think they are walking into a buzz saw this weekend.
I have kept saying I think Pitt's offense will bounce back (or play well) for three weeks now and it hasn't happened, but I do think the offesne plays well. I think this is the week they finally make some adjustments that lead to some success and I think they actively try to run the ball a little more and it shows. I think Dez has a huge game, and Eli plays very well, as does Mumpfield.
I believe the D bounces back in a big way, I don't think they are happy at all with what happened against SMU and that shows. I think they get about sacks, force two TOs, knock Colandrea around and keep the run game in check. The defense will resemble more of the Cal/Cuse D than what we saw against SMU.
So with all that, Pitt wins and somewhat comfortably by the 4th quarter. I say Pitt 33 UVA 20
