We win 27-17. The passing game will be in gear as the O-line does a better job. We also get a TD from special teams. GDL says 'we're finally making progress".
 
I always think we win this game. It's a sickness. See photo below.
 
22,000-25,000 attendance
27-9 with Pitt pulling away in 2nd half

Nothing motivates like a sword hanging over your head. Don't be surprised if P and friend pull a rabbit out their hats. They know they don't survive without a signature win to sell more hope and play for more time. I predict simplified offense and focus on basic execution.

Nothing says signature win, like a win over a 4-5 Pitt team.

If UConn somehow manages to pull out a 7-3 victory, I can assure you hope is not what I'll be leaving the game with.

You can set your watch to these games. Just saw it happen to Purdue after the Ohio State loss.

We saw it happen to UConn. Collapse against Temple. Short week on road at Syracuse. Disastrous outcome.

Throw in the predictive powers of the official Boneyard prediction thread - it's like a 21-3 UConn win.

It's really more of a basketball concept - but Pitt won't get off the bus.

Is this a serious post? Pitt loses by 17? Or is there a hidden message in here? cuz I don't think we win this, and never would we win by 17

Of course I'm serious. Teams that come close to huge upsets come out flat all the time. Have you seen Purdue since the OSU game for example?

Short week going on the road against a team that is generally better at home and is probably better than their results.

There is a reason the line is 3.5 but everyone here is predicting a Pitt blowout. Let's not go crazy on Pitt anyway. They lost to YSU, slept walked past Buffalo - just because they caught ND on the right day (and still couldn't beat them) doesn't mean they are good.

Whaler you are grossly overrating our ability to play football. We are perhaps the worst offensive team in the country.

If you say so. There are two teams on the field, there is the chance the other team plays worse.

Go read the NCSU, WMU, Temple, Rutgers and Syracuse prediction threads and let me know how well the Boneyard is at predicting outcomes.

I know what generally happens to teams like Pitt when things like this happen and generally they roll over and play dead. UConn's effort was fine on Saturday and that is really the difference when two flawed medicore teams play late in the year.

I can certainly be wrong and this game will be 40-0, but I'll be backing my prediction with real money not just talking out of my a**.

How about Arizona coming off their huge win against USC..........lost 66-10 @ UCLA. Prime example.
 
31-14 Uconn. I'm a homer and I think Whitmer is for real. D played great last game and it will all come together.
 
I think we can score a few TD's. Pitt will be ripe for a few TO's. The crowd will be large and loud enough to have a positive effect. Should be fun. I've to The Rent for 2 great night game wins against Pitt, why not 3?

I'll reiterate my prediction. Pitt will come out flat, UConn will miss out on some early opportunities to capitalize, Pitt plays well enough late in the game to win. 16-9 ish. I'm not predicting a UConn blow-out loss, just another solid performance by the D, and inept performance by the O. You know George DeLeone is our offensive coordinator, right?
 
Starting field position is poor and Uconn will have trouble getting to double digits. Uconn's punt return efforts are very poor, not hurrying the punter, not blocking opponents, not positioning to catch and run (too many let it bounce) and fair catching when have room. Looks like a team that uses JV players on punt return 'cause don't want to hurt varsity players. Defense has been good at stopping scoring but not as good with takeaways and quick 3 and outs - so what saved many a Uconn teams (short fields) has not been the norm recently.
Pitt runs too well which opens up the short passing game (which is killer for Uconn) so I'm seeing a double digit loss; and the 1st digit may not be a 1.
I called for a Pitt over ND game, wife thought I was crazy, but Pitt can play that good; Uconn can not.

Yeah sure that's certainly possible.
 
I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone. People are coming down on Whaler for being too optimistic!!! :confused:
 
Wish I could believe that the offense can move the ball. Pitt goes up 10-3 at the half and the drinking begins to cope with an insurmountable deficit.
 
Pitt wins by 4 TD's.

Pasqualoni has 100 excuses in his post game presser.

OC DeLeone gets off the bus for the Husky Walk looking 100 yrs old and walking like his shoes are too tight.

As usual, not one UCONN player will say anything positive in support of the coaches after the game.

Dance Team will be the highlight of the UCONN performance.

After standing at attention for the National Anthem I will wipe away a tear thinking about the guys and gals who didn't come back from Iraq or Afghanistan in the same shape they went over there.

Almost nailed score and the difference was Whitmer had time, until the went into the fetal position.
