The Early look at Pitt's 2016 football schedule
- Thread starter steel_curtain
- Start date
Forgot to add that the Sec east stunk also last year.
Coastal went 10-5 vs the Atlantic last season. Clemson was responsible for three of the losses.
The Coastals biggest issue is lack of a big dog, in both name value and the team itself. I'm willing to bet that when preseason picks come about, there will be a very small difference between teams one through six.

According to most Pitt fans, every team seems to improve during the off season except Pitt...
The only positions I see as being worse going into the season than last year are WR's and TE. WR's may be as good or better than last year if a couple of the following players step up: Flowers, Hill, Ffrench, Henderson and Weah.
The DE's (pass rush) will be much better
The DB's will be better.
The LB's will be better with another year of experience.
The DT's will be better, with the influx of young talent and moving Soto inside.
The RB's will be better with the return of Conner, Ibrahim, the addition of Moss and the return of Ollison and Hall.
The QB will be better with another year experience from Peterman and the addition of Stocker and McVittie.
The OL will be better with our returning starters and the return JJS.
We will be inexperienced in some positions at the start of the season, but we have a couple of games to figure it out before we play PSU and OKST.

-There should be a lot more excitement going on and its pathetic there isnt. Narduzzi should be jacking up some hype. Two of the bigger weaknesses last year are about to become strengths, the D-line and the secondary.
-Dewayne Hendrix is now going to start. He started at Tennessee as a freshmen in the SEC. He had offers from every SEC team and is a complete beast. The coaches are raving about him. He is a massive pash rusher that is going to attack the QB with Price. Price was 5th in the entire country last year in sacks at Pitt. Now he has Hendrix on the line with him blowing up the line of scrimmage and going after the QB. That's a nice 1-2 combo to start things off.
That's point 1.
-Keyshon Camp- A 6'4 285lb DT with Elite strength and offers from everyone in the country including Alabama and USC. He had 18 tackles for loss last year playing in Lakeland, Florida with 11 sacks. The guy is another beast added to the line to blow up the line of scrimmage. The guy just competed in Florida's power lifting competition and took 5th place in the entire state. He is strong as an ox and is going to attack the QB at will. Panther Nation should have been completely jacked when we landed this guy. He decommited from USC and Alabama was all over him, and he hails from Florida. Here is an article about him, that is named Mr. Tackle for a loss, which came out before his senior season even started. He destroys opposing teams on the defensive line and is an absolute menace with brute strength.
http://www.recruitingnewsguru.com/on-the-clock-with-mr-tackle-for-a-loss-florida-dl-keyshon-camp/
-That's point 2.
-Damar Hamlin- The 2015 Pennsylvania state player of the year, on a landslide vote. Every big time college was all over him, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Florida State, Florida, Notre Dame, all of them. He had 131 tackles last year, 6 interceptions, and 3 forced fumbles. His team was the State Champion in Pennsylvania. He is a massive hitter and ball hawk. He was the heaviest recruited player last year in the entire state of Pennsylvania and it wasnt even close.
-That's point 3. People should be completely jacked for these 3 guys. Every program in the country was all over them and they came to Pitt. I can't wait to get these 3 on the field and what our defense is going to look like. We severely upgraded the D-line, and now have another shut down corner to help out Whitehead that plays lights out hard hitting football.
-But no, all I read about is Saiquon friggin Barkley from Penn State, a player that scored 7 TD's last year. Gimme a friggin break.
I'll be honest, I think defense is on it's way to becoming a dominant defense...but to expect true freshmen to come in and plug up the secondary where you are on a complete island can be a little much to ask. In 2-3 years, that D will be a nightmare to play against.
My biggest doubts on this team are on the offense and they start with the OC Canada. Looking at what he is recruiting for his future qb's and how he has elevated a complete nobody in Stocker over Bertke and DiNucci concerns me A LOT. I can see him trying to hammer square pegs into round holes with Peterman and completely screwing up this year. The team is built for a Pro-Style offense and he is coming in with his vision of a dual-threat QB playing. Maybe i'm looking too much into it, but Canada scared the hell out of me. Plus the WR's scare none of our opponents and they'll have 8 in the box all day against us.

-Hendrix is now a Redshirt Sophomore. Bama had 3 freshmen start last year. Thats what happens when you recruit Elite players from SEC country instead of Penn State players from hype land country. Pitt could have 2 freshmen start, Camp and Hamlin, thats probably it. Both are good enough.
-We'll see on Canada. In 2015, N.C. State scored 34 points per game, 3rd highest in school history with 413 yards per game, 5th highest in school history. In 2014, N.C. State broke the school rushing record for rush yards, with 2,700. In 2012, he was the OC at Wisconsin with Montee Ball, which was 12th in the entire country in rush yards, and won the Big Ten Title 70-31 over Nebraska in the Big Ten Championship.
-Like Saban, like Narduzzi, like me, Canada understands the value of ramming the football with the ground game down the other teams throat. I dont see any major issues here. We will pound the football against teams next year constantly, unlike Chaney. Other teams can put 10 in the box, we are still going for positive gains with our line and RB's.
I'm completely w/ you steel_curtain w/ all of your posts - I am very optimistic about this year.
Camp and Jarrett up the middle - Price and Hendrix off the edge...my God.
I think our LB's will be fine and give good run support and our secondary will be outstanding.
Offensively, if Weah can continue to improve in fall camp... - I expect Tipton's athleticism will show up - 4 star Flowers coming in and Quadree Henderson in the slot? - Wow....I don't see a problem at WR.
Stacked at RB - throw in a Whitehead here and there and the O-Line....excellent. Only real concern is if Peterman gets hurt...ouch on that thought.
Lastly, I *love* this coaching staff.
The only definite loss I see is at Clempson and it won't be a blow-out like some expect. We'll lose another one along the way - probably a close one at OK State but, I would not be surprised at a 10-2 season at all.
The most important thing you mentioned is the coaching staff. I don't know if we are ready to get to 10 wins this year. The thing is, I also love this staff and the work they are putting in and the enthusiasm that they bring to the team. Things are definitely going in the right direction. If the Duzz continues to bring in classes as good as the 2016 class or better, the coaches will parlay that talent into some very fine seasons soon enough. It may not be as soon as this season, but we will breakout soon enough. I do admire the people who are thinking this will be a big year, I am hopeful as well, just a little more guarded in my optimism.
All I will say is this. If you are setting your minimum expectations this year at 8 wins, you are setting yourself up for dissapointment. There are not a ton of easy games on this schedule, so I would really put 8, maybe 9 if Pitt gets lucky, as the max Pitt will win this year.
And also, there is nothing wrong with having high hopes. However, I have seen steel post on the bball board, and know that if Pitt has a decent 7-5 year, he will probably meltdown. That is the issue. Some fans have a tendency to set unrealistic expectations in sports (final four or you failed!) then meltdown when that expectation isn't met.

you are comparing final four in basketball to winning 8 games in a very mediocre acc coastal.. we have a nice squad, a good coach and a conference that is less than daunting.. it's time to think that winning 7 or 8 games is no longer "unrealistic expectations." If you believe this program is no better than 5 or 6 wins as the bar of success, that is sad..
We will agree to disagree, im sure we are both going into every game, rooting for a win.. As far as disappointment goes, I am disappointed after my team loses any game. Disappointments are just God’s way of saying: I have got something better. Be patient, live life and have faith.
I love the optimism you have Steel, you always get me super pumped about the future of the program. But I'm trying to temper my expectations just a bit about this coming season. We are not always going to be bringing our A game and our opponents are not always going to be bringing their C or D game. The offseason always brings high expectations for myself but after the debacle of the bowl game to end last season I told myself that Narduzzi needs a little more time to get us going. I'll be ecstatic with an 8-4 season. The 2017 season is the year I'm going to be really excited about. H2P.
Steel also said Pitt will be top 3 in hoops in the ACC, so let's take this with a grain of salt.
Until I see a legit offensive threat, I can't get too hyped about this season.
Until I see a legit offensive threat, I can't get too hyped about this season.
this confuses me though. People watering down expectations for this year but excited as heck for 2017.. I expect the '17 team to be much worse than this year's.. Defensively i'll assume slightly better due to same players being a year older. Backers will all be new but that's actually a good thing.. But damn, offensively, new qb, new LT, new LG, new TE.. You are gonna have a whole new left side of line protecting the backside of a qb that will probably never have played at this level. Scary stuff

Good Post........I always look at another Team's Player if I wanted him on Pitt Roster, in almost all cases I accept and feel it is not only wise but very fair to admire another CFB Player no matter whom he plays for and that includes Penn State, WVU, Michigan, OSU, Virginia, ND, Miami, USC and many others. Those Student-Athletes play their hearts out and often hurting from the tough games and practices, no reason to disrespect them.
Only when one of them decides to take to twitter or media or other aspects and disrespects the other Team or Players do I feel otherwise and then they bring that back upon themselves and free for All Fans Fodder!
Cpt, I don't think anyone is saying he's not a good back.. Just seeing a ton of fans here building up every future opponent, giving them the benefit of the doubt on improvement while on the same side, doing just the opposite with pitt.. And we are seeing the same with Barkley and Ollison and it's weird. Cant for the life of me figure out the lack of respect Ollison gets on this board while pumping up Barkley as some sort of phenom.. Nice stats in blowout losses to Sparta and Buckeyes I guess.
No one is saying he's not good and yes, if he played for pitt, he'd be a great backup to JC..
honestly, taking my metallic gold and midnight blue shades off for a sec, with gun to my head, I see 7-5 regular season.. 8-4 is goal, meaning we can do it IF we don't pull a "pitting" with a boneheaded loss and I see 6-6 as pretty much worst case, meaning if nothing unforeseen happens (AKA Nate goes down), then I see us in that window of 6 to 8 regular season wins..
5 and 7, that would be ugly and any good feelings about the Duzzi will be long gone.. 9 and 3 is pretty much fantasy land.. Possible of course but everything has to go right...5 wins with a senior QB and nfl caliber LG and LT leaving, that is an ugly off season if that happens..

I understand but Barkley has been on my radar since High School and was Rutgers loss and PSU Gain. i could go back to my 15,000 posts and look up where I posted it way back in 2014 after recruiting season was over, but not enough time right now. Honest PSU fans will admit their OL was terrible and play calling too, why they fired Donovan, but Barkley had a big year anyway. Respecting his abilities is not a vice, and respecting PSU Football Program with the 2012 Reforms is not a sin either.

Agree and you are correct and I am one of the Pitt Fan Posters with doubts and not so convince that Pitt can win 8 Games with this schedule. I do so because it is just Coach Narduzzi second year and he is just bringing in new talent. Second, the Schedule is tougher. Third, it is very early to predict anything until we see August Summer Camps over and Rosters decied?
At the same time, Steel and Others including PSU Posters are not wrong if they predict 9 to 11 games either. While PSU Posters are just as fair to question if Pitt can beat PSU and vice a versa? Both Programs are younger and rebuilding and just want to be back in the Top 25 again and along with WVU.
And we are seeing the same with Barkley and Ollison and it's weird. Cant for the life of me figure out the lack of respect Ollison gets on this board while pumping up Barkley as some sort of phenom.. Nice stats in blowout losses to Sparta and Buckeyes I guess.
It is Sports Banter between PITT-PSU Posters and expected, respected and it is Sports Talk. never always right and seldom wrong after a win or loss? Ollison and Barkley both had some mistakes and struggles but both ended up Freshmen Offense Rookie of the Years ACC & B1G too? Yet, I predicted Barkley would be very good and I never knew about Ollison, so I was right and wrong too.
No one is saying he's not good and yes, if he played for pitt, he'd be a great backup to JC..
Pitt and Penn State both have 3 to 4 Top Running Backs and it will be up to Narduzzi and Franklin will help decide which ones play and they will help decide the games.
Barkley is starting with Robinson and possible Sanders and I would want all on Pitt team, and all recognized by National Media. At the same time, how is Narduzzi going to not play Conner even if Ollison and other Pitt Running Backs are ready too? In my opinion, National Media will cover the game, players and in particular how Conner and Barkley and Ollison all do in that game. Or the other backs either?
Finally, up to Pitt Coaches & Players to win 8 to 11 Games and same for Penn State Coaches & Players to do the same, but one thing is for sure, this proves both PSU-PITT Fans do acre about playing each other and the Banter is just starting, and that is a good thing, and will be tough when one loses and great joy when one wins, but I will wait to predict the game 2 days before it, not 4 months.
But Barkley and Ollison will just be one match up to watch and enjoy, and Both deserve respect as you say, and both Programs, Universities, Coaches too. I am here to share and learn and get hit giving my opinions but that is what banter is all about and learning when I am wrong from others views?

Keys to a successful 2016 season:
* Offense needs to be better, especially Nate Peterman and the passing game. Must find a couple of playmaking WR's among; Weah, Henderson, Tipton, Flowers, Ffrench and possibly Hill.
* Must be better at stopping the run. Teams know that rushing the passer will be a Pitt strength. Therefore they will run the ball. Teams were successful at running the ball against Pitt last season. If we don't stop the run, it will be a long season. Young DT's will need to step up.
I see wins against; Marshall, Villanova, Virginia, VT, Duke, Syracuse.
I see losses to Ok St, Clemson, Miami
Toss up games against; PSU, NC, GT

This was Pitt's run defense last year
vs Iowa- 105 yards given up
vs Virginia Tech- 9 yards given up
vs Virginia- 139 yards given up
vs Georgia Tech- 376 yards given up, they had 40 run plays and 15 pass plays
vs Syracuse- 134 yards given up
vs North Carolina- 174 yards given up
vs Notre Dame- 175 yards given up
vs Duke- 113 yards given up
vs Louisville -1 yards
vs Miami- 116 yards given up
vs Navy- 417 yards given up
-What does this show? It shows 2 teams were able to pound the ball on us, Georgia Tech, and Navy. Navy won 11 games and their QB broke the All time NCAA TD record as a senior. We had 3 interceptions in this game, 2 were in the Navy redzone, and lost by 2 TD's. Navy was really good last year. Houston, who won the American Athletic conference over Navy, completely dominated Florida State in its bowl game. These 2 teams had a 24-3 record combined, and were dam good football teams last year. Both of them. You can't give the football away to a team like Navy and expect to win, especially in the red zone. Our defense was gassed at the end of that game.
-We basically shut down the run by almost every team outside Georgia Tech and Navy. They had big runs for 58, 51, etc.. against us and we still won the game on the road.
-Now we get Hendrix and Camp on the line. Like a broken record, the D-line is the most important position in college football. Attacking the opposing QB off the D-line makes all the difference in the world with constant pressure. We should beat the shit out of teams on the line next year.
-That leaves Pitt with a dominant Run game on offense that can control possession and the clock and wear down the defense. And that leaves opposing teams, most of them anyway, the inability to run the football against us. We will simply wear defenses down with this strategy in the second half of games, I guarantee it.
-We need 3 players to step up and be ready. Hendrix, Camp, and Hamlin, and we are ready to go.
-I just listened to Chris Peak for an hour. He doesnt understand defense wins games and championships in football. He constantly talked about the greatness of Oklahoma State's offense, but failed to mention once just how garbage their defense was last year and now they have to replace 2 DT's plus 2 CBS's that are starters. We are going to pound the rock at will against Oklahoma State, bet the farm on it.

Chris Peak typically has a pretty good handle on Pitt's potential. He is not saying they can't win 8 games. He is just saying it will be difficult based on schedule and current depth. This team has major depth issues where 1 or 2 injuries can completely derail the season. Iowa prognositcators probably predicted 8 wins as a solid season for their team last year too. Doesn't mean they are right. Seasons can go a number of different ways based on one or two injuries.
You continually discuss what other teams have to replace and say they won't be able to without even knowing what they have coming in or ready. Ok St might have some studs ready to play. Yet, you make it sound like Pitt true Freshman lineman and Corners are going to be difference makers right off the bat. Players like Jordan Whitehead are the exception, not the rule.
by December, after our 9th regular season win, when me and Steel Curtain are renting out a club in Pittsburgh and celebrating with 75 of the most beautiful, single women in the city, in commemoration of this season, and you guys are all outside trying to get in, SCREAMING " I knew we would all along" I just want you guys to know that Steel_Curtain and myself will still invite you in, despite you guys arguing with us..
Now that's not to say you will have any shot at any of these single girls, those are for me and SC, im just saying you guys can still come in and dance a little bit, throw down some pops, and be a part of the party.. That's just the kind of guys that me and Steel_Curtain are..

-My prediction is in writing. After listening to Peaks interview, Pitt would be lucky to win 3 games next year per peak. He hyped up Tyler Boyd to being the 2nd coming of Jerry Rice, and losing Boyd just crippled the Pitt football program for the next 20 years. Again, we will see what a dominant D-line can do for us. My prediction is in writing. Opposing teams can bring it. And James Conner is squatting over 500lbs right now.

Pitt early picks....6-6 to 7-5 to 8-4 to 9-3!
* To Be Reserved For August & Reserved Game Day Prediction!
-Duke's starting QB blew his leg out. Most likely done for the year and maybe his career. I forgot to mention that. So the same Duke team we routed last year will be the same Duke team minus 13 starters we are going to rout this year.
-Hot Dam I look like a F_ckin Genius.
-Why dont people reread this. I missed the Virginia Tech game but said at worst 7-1. Pitt will be 7-1 just like I said. Prediction made in April.
