It doesn't seem to be talked about as much as other issues but outside of the running game, the pass defense was the biggest problem last year IMO.
It essentially lost the NC State and BC games and wasn't good in the any of the other three losses either. Pitt was ranked 85th in pass defense last year.
Has Narduzzi done anything to address this? They lost three experienced players in the secondary and gained one back. I dont see how it could be any better.
Is he going to continue to put his corners on an island against Clemson, UNC, and Miami? With the talent these teams have at QB and WR, there is no way that will end well for Pitt especially without Weaver and Jones applying pressure.
Seems like the pass defense has been bad almost every year under Narduzzi and he sticks with the same schemes that only worked in the Big Ten 8-10 years ago.
Tired of watching Pitt's secondary get torched over the top every game.
