Turnovers do increase with rain!Pitt 56 - GT 28
The Yellow Jackets fumble five times in the first quarter.
wet and sloppy not a given..last time I looked they were calling for 0.04 inches of precip in the evening..Gonna be wet and sloppy. 24-7 Pitt.
I concur and don’t believe it will get even as high as that. 27-13, but not nearly as close as that score looks. I could see GT come out gung Ho with something to prove, scoring an early TD early in a tightly scripted possession, then basically neutered the rest of the way. Pitt dominating TOP and yards gained throughout, but dropping a couple big passes, and punting instead of scoring on multiple possessions, leading to an unsatisfying 14-7 lead at the break. But a crisp possession to score a Td to open the second half for breathing room, then Ground Frank takes over, hunkering down and trading punts and leading 21-7 though three periods. With GT wearing down, grinding out a couple long possessions in the fourth that still peter out in the RZ, setting up late FG’s. GT hitting on a cheap slant that goes to the house against the backup D with a minute to go, to make it look much closer than it was.GT in disarray, so this should be a relatively easy win. If Pitt gets up early they will run the new Cignetti offense (aka the single wing) and we will run on first, second, and third down. Score won't be as high as some are predicting.

Tons of rain during the game now. Take the underIt looks like the rain is mostly during the day. Maybe a shower at night, from the latest forecast.
The field will be wet, but I don't think we'll be in a monsoon.
Pitt needs to limit GT to under 10 points and shut them down defensively. I think we'll score 42 on them.

The field is going to be destroyed by the end of the Steelers game on Sunday. Hang on the the ball!Forecast I'm looking at this morning says 80-90% chance of rain through to about 5 am Sunday morning.
It's going to be one of those days I'm glad I live on a hill.
yeah, forecast went south in 24 hours ... gotta think Hillgrove might actually hit 60% on his "loose football" calls being actually, uh, loose footballs and not blowing Pirmanti's wrappers....The field is going to be destroyed by the end of the Steelers game on Sunday. Hang on the the ball!

last words often uttered by distraught gamblers just before higher than expected score games with 6 or 7 turnovers by teams in their own territory..Tons of rain during the game now. Take the under

Our luck this will be the day we decide to “open it up” like in the Wanny Sun Bowl….We must remember that while GT got rid of their coach and AD, they still have the same group of players that put up 21 and 20 points against Pitt football teams the last two years. Taking that into account and after checking the weather for tomorrow night (Accuweather is saying that it is going to be 55 degrees, winds at 10 mph with an 87% chance of rain).
Considering all that and know what we have seen of the Cignetti offense, I'd expect Pitt to run the ball 70% of the time and throw those annoying short passes the remaining 30%.
Playing with the conservative Cignetti offense versus a poor GT run defense that is ranked #120 in the country, I see the following...
