Last week BTAN predicted that Kenny Pickett was unlikely to continue his blazing pace given four prior seasons of good, but not spectacular play. Sure enough, the Hokies defense slowed him to his worst rating of the season (123.4). Further, the nugget was offered that one should bet the under, which was clearly the right call.

Braxton Burmeister had what I believe was his worst game as Tech quarterback, and there wasn't enough running game to compensate. Pitt happens, I guess.
