Louisville-Pitt Open Thread

Filed under: Football,Open Thread — Chas @ 11:16 am

Come on. Pitt has to play well at home some time. Don’t they?

Let’s see if what you people see on the TV matches what the rest of us see at Heinz Field.

Quick Linking Before Louisville

Filed under: Football,Opponent(s) — Chas @ 1:33 am

Oh, it’s been a heck of a week.

Just going to hit the highlights of what I haven’t been able to get to.

Joe Starkey wrote about Pitt getting to the “next level” being in sight. That’s the goal, but to say it is in sight as Pitt hasn’t even guaranteed a season above .500 yet is bull. That’s Rutgers-esque delusions. Their fans started talking that way after getting to a second bowl. Now…

Greg Cross is apparently still being held out as they wait for the, uh, right moment. It won’t be Louisville.

Cross, who was not made available for this story, hasn’t appeared in Pitt’s past three games. But the surprise element is likely lost against Louisville because Cross chose the Panthers over scholarship offers from the Cardinals and Kansas State.

“I think they’re aware of him,” Wannstedt said. “We have a package for Greg – we’ve had it all year – and it’s just a matter of finding the right opportunity.”

Still?

The coach of the last Louisville team Pitt beat is dead.

Louisville struggles against good running teams. Add in a QB a couple weeks removed from a concussion and LeSean McCoy should be getting plenty of work.

Of course, Louisville likes to run as well. A lot. I guess we will see whether Shonn Greene was just a really good back, or if Pitt’s defense is overrated against the run. Let’s admit that Pitt hasn’t really faced a lot of teams with strong running games beyond Iowa and Navy. 50-50 right now
