Kind of an interesting spot here.

- Noon kick coming off an emotional OT win for us. While I’m holding out hope for better-than-historically expected attendance, the atmosphere is going to feel “sleepy”

- Their offense is down to scrub QBs. True freshman they started looked AWFUL for the most part against BC. The transfer that started last week against UNC essentially lost them that game.

- their defense on the other hand is significantly better than FSU’s from what I’ve seen. I could see Narduzzi looking to exploit our pass pro in particular

- was surprised to see they still haven’t had a Bye yet.

Really want to see us flush this FSU result and turn around and kick this teams ***. But could also see a flat first half too.

Thoughts?

This should be enough for us to sleepwalk through Pitt & win by 3 scores but....

Nobody has given Miami issues this year except Miami. Guess we just have to wait & see who shows up.
 
Agreed. Would be a standard letdown game but hopefully the staff and team have passed that stage.

I honestly don’t know what we are going to get. I mean you know Toney is going to show up. Mensah for all his struggles last night was probably an aberration whereas last year you could get a little more inconsistent play from Carson Beck. You have to imagine Lyle is chomping at the bit for more opportunities with something to prove. I just don’t know yet. Would be nice to dominate for sure.

What’s crazy is the game Mensah had last night would have been considered elite by Miami standards from 2003-2023

They are tough to run against, pressure the QB, and force turnovers. I don't think they can score enough on offense to win, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's an ugly game.

Yeah, they’ll kick some field goals on us however will struggle in the redzone. Narduzzi isn’t going to go for it on fourth much, I suspect.

They were 12-0 on BC w/ half of the first quarter left to play and only scored 21 points by the end of the game. We should dominate them even more than last year.

Boston College had two red-zone interceptions and a turnover on downs at Pitt’s forty. Pitt committed a ****ton of penalities and their DBs hold every play.
