Thoughts on Pitt

Just curious to see how everyone is feeling about Pitt this week. After a good game against UNC last week that the crowd really showed up for, I think it's time for the Hokies to end this losing streak to the Panthers. Here are a few thoughts/keys that I've been considering:

  • Pitt's Receiving Corps: Devin Street and Tyler Boyd are both averaging over 100 yards/game and look to be on their way to All ACC honors. The O&M secondary will have their work cut out for them. If Antone plays on Saturday, there will be kids at the Day Care that will need his undivided attention. The Hokie secondary will do well if...
  • The Hokie front seven wreak havoc in the backfield. Cavman's Crew sacked Pitt QB Tom Savage 7 times and in the process, knocked him out with a concussion (he wasn't wearing a Hokie Stone Brain Bucket). I hope to see Gayle, MANBEARPIG, Big Lu, etc. to have a big game and pad the Hokie stat numbers. I also have a hunch that Dadi will somehow be involved in putting points on the board. If they cause problems up front, look to see our good turnover margin go up and Logan's Fuller-Adjusted Interceptions to go down.
  • Finally, I know I speak for all of us here on TKP when I say that I'm elated that Rushel Shell won't be in Blacksburg this weekend. Nothing personal, Rushel, but what you did to the collective Hokie confidence in our defense last season was not cool, bro. I hope you're enjoying Morganhole.

I wish I could be at the game this weekend to see the streak end. To anyone going: have fun, stay loud, and Beat Pitt.
