A quick check of the Pitt Roster shows about three seniors still on the team who were there when (and were recruited by) Chryst when he ran off to Wisky (one local Ohio kid I know was recruited by him and would be a senior, but quit after last year).
To you amatuer (or professional) sports psychologists: Do you think they will be motivated to fire up the team to beat Miami and send the coach that abandonded them to the CFP or will the opposite occur?
Yeah, Yeah, they are not playing for a bowl game and the 'Canes have won the last two trips up there, so it's probably theoretical, but it is an interesting wrinkle to this season.
Anyone who underestimates Pitt does so, as they say, at their own peril. I find it impossible to understand how people are already calling for a Canes blowout over the Panthers, after watching today's game.
The Pitt game will most probably be played on an off track in very cold weather. Pitt will see the Canes game as way to redeem themselves for an ugly season.
Finally, it is without question that our Canes play down to the competition.
PS: I am not calling for a Pitt upset, but do not rule out a very competitive game that with a few bounces going in favor of the Panthers we might all be surprised...not in a good way.
