Everyone forgets but Arizona forced Pitt into a shoot out 2 years ago. Pitt was only 19 for 58 on the ground. Pitt went up 10-0 and Arizona was on fire the rest of the way except for Harrison's 100 yard TD return and Big Ben's last drive.
It will be interesting to see if GB can force Pitt out of thir running game as well.

BUT...
AZ didn't give up an embarrassing 4.7ypc either, and Mendenhall has since matured and has become a devastating power-back in PITT's offensive scheme. Meanwhile, nobody is better at stopping the run in the NFL than Pittsburgh, the best defense in the business... to wit, Green Bay has struggled to run the ball ALL SEASON LONG, save for Starks' nice outing in the playoffs... the loss of Pouncey may be a blessing in disguise, bc now Legursky simply won't be asked to pass-block for 60min, therefore I fully expect PITT will lean heavily on their rushing attack until Green bay slows them down...
Do yourself a favor and just throw those other SB rushing stats out of the window in this case MassCap, based on whose healthy for PITT's O-Line and the fact that GB is inconsistent at best rushing the football...
