I dont post too much on the site, but do I read alot of the message board to gauge a game and get some insight. I have a mathematical formula I use to calc pts/play and take into consideration the PR between the teams. PR is the power ranking that this site displays after each weekend.
I ran the nos. and I got Pitt 32-17. I do agree it's hard to get a feel for this Pitt team sometimes. a friend of mine says that when Pitt is expected to win, they shit the bed and when they are underdogs, they come thru and pull out a victory.
Without a doubt SMU's biggest win was TCU, but after watching TCU in the bowl game, their Def was definitely down this year and u can see why SMU threw all over the place vs. them.
Pitt has a played an above avg schedule this year, alot of Bowl teams on that list. I do agree that they will need to run the ball and keep Sunseri from having to make big plays for them, that's not his style. Pitt's DEF has played decent at times as well.
The keys to this game are TOs and Pitt's ability to run the ball effectively. If SMU can go early, build a lead, Pitt will be in for a battle.
One item is that is joker in all of this is how Pitt responds to the loss of Coach Graham. The players were pissed and everyone saw Twitter and their opinion. If they use that to galvanize the team and show him what he lost, then I can see Pitt putting up the score I wrote, 32-17.
