RBs vs Va Tech

[runshadyrun]

2002- "Pittsburgh did it again to Virginia Tech, taking the team they want to be like out of championship contention. Brandon Miree ran 53 yards for a touchdown with 4:11 remaining Saturday night, capping the Panthers' rally from a 21-7 third quarter deficit and lifting Pittsburgh past No. 4 Virginia Tech, 28-21.Miree finished with 161 yards on 23 carries". We had a pretty decent wide receiver that year as well!!

2016 - James Conner?

Add yours to the list of our RBs against the Chokies..

Shell did well v. the Hokies. I don't really recall if anyone had a big game the last time Pitt beat them at Heinz. Obvioulsy, Ollison had a huge game last season as well. Barlow light 'em up?

I think the aggressive Hokie defense has problems with the jet sweep and change up play options. Defense will need to play well. Winnable after a bye week with VT coming off a short week.

I like Pitt to win one of VT and The U. Lose to Clemson. Beat Duke and Syracuse. Though, I guess it's possible to win both.

VT was one of the few games where Shell ran like we expected him to a few years ago . I think the combination of Conner and Moss are going to present a challenge early. Once VT commits to stopping the interior run game, look for Henderson, Whitehead,and Ffrench to exploit the edges.

No biggie, but VT's short week is this week against the Canes. After tonight's game they will have a week to prepare for Pitt.

Go Pitt.

The 2002 game was great---big picture on the cover of the Washington Post Sunday Sports the next day, "Unbeaten No More" and a picture of Miree breaking thru the line. Larry Fitz made two incredible first half catches---one on a jump ball in front of the Pitt bench and one for a TD in the corner of the end zone......

I had work so I only got to watch limited amounts of that game, but I seem to recall Voytik running the ball most if the third quarter, and then a very fresh Conner wore down the Hokies in the fourth.
