1. It's on a friggin Wednesday night. At least it's not a home game then.
2. It's so difficult to focus on football with all this realignment crap floatiing around. With the Huskies and the Giants off, I did not even put the TV on this weekend. I'm finding it hard to care about sports through all this BS.
3. We have accomplished next to nothing through 7 games this year but Pitt, which was clearly playing better than us in September, now can't get out of it's own way on offense and this game has every possibility of being offensively ugly squared. And that kind of game we can win.
4. Like last year, it's deja vu all over again. Lose this game, as we will be supposed to do, and we are going to have to claw our way through a three game home stand just to get to bowl eligible and hope for an invite somewhere. Win , against a team that has decided it doesn't have a QB, and with a three game homestand coming up, mediocre or not we only have home games against other mediocre opponents to get to the last week of the season with a chance to go to the Orange Bowl.
We have been here before, haven't we? Last year, I absolutely thought we could smash Pitt in the mouth and win the game. This year, I think we have to play it the same way, but this year we need Pitt not to play it's best. If they do, we don't win. But if they play like they played their last two games, and we can limit mistakes and control the clock a bit, this is a doable game.
Since joining the Big EAst, we are 4-3 against Pitt overall, 3-1 at home and 1-2 at the Ketchup. The only time we didn't have a chance to win at the Ketchup was way back in '05, with what was frankly an inferior team. I don't know what to expect.
