Louisville is 6-4 and two of their losses were to #1 Clemson and #24 Houston, both by only 3 points. Their other losses were to Auburn by 7 and FSU by 20. Miami is a disaster this year but they did take FSU to the wire, losing by only 5 at FSU. I know HCPN will prepare them well but either of these teams is capable of an upset. A good crowd will certainly give us an advantage!
These next two games are not slam dunks!

Miami is not going to show up. They had every reason in the world to last year and they didn't. I'd be extremely surprised if Pitt lost this one.
No, they're not. They're uncontested layups. .............. just kidding.........You're 100% correct. I want to see 9-3 so that we're in a bowl game that's commensurate with the record. I want to see Pitt in a game that's hyped, against a traditional power and preferably prime time, so that recruits can actually see Pitt being the program that was hoped for 12 months earlier. 9-3 say's we're already a big-boy program and with you can be even bigger.
I hope to see Conner back in these last two but I am a dreamer. Certainly give a boost to a bowl committee resume.
not happening....he is not coming back this year nor should he..let him heal!
We lost to the #4 and #5 and the#20 teams in the country. We're not chopped liver. At halftime, If we're even, we're leaven' H2P!!!
This will be n extremely difficult game. They have at least as much talent as Pitt. Should be a nail biter.
As a Pitt fan I don't think any game is a slam dunk. They usually have a way of making it interesting.
What this guy said. We have seen far too many examples of losing game PITT shouldn't. With that said, I do believe this team is far different than those teams and has far more fight and will to win.
From a coaching standpoint, this staff has the team focused. From the opening kickoff against Duke, when PITT planted the receiver, I have never heard a head coach as vocal as Narduzzi.
The Kool Aid is to my liking, Pitt will win both games
The Kool Aid is my favorite flavor, I believe Pitt wins both, finish with a 9 and 3.
Louisville is 6-0 against teams not named Clemson, FSU, Houston, or Auburn. We lose all 4 of those games as well. This game is a coin flip.
yep, could not see Pitt (even in the universe where Spock had a beard) getting past that Auburn juggernaut. geez, they also beat BC by 3 and Wake by 1....
PITT is 7-0 against teams not named Iowa, ND, and UNC. They lose all 3 of those games as well. See how easy that is?
In all honestly, I haven't felt any of our games this year were going to be slam dunks. Feeling better about the team and certainly about the coaching, but still not over the past 6 years!
Just want the team to play its best, and not quit, ever! Those expectations have been met for the most part. Building step by step is great! Enjoying the ride and the process.

In their defense, they did not show up last year with Al Golden as their coach. That has been known to happen a lot. I really think firing Golden was the biggest addition by subtraction in recent college coaching memory. That Duke/Miami debacle would've been a 42-3 Duke win if Golden was still "coaching".
