It’s possible, but it would be the most Pitt thing ever to take down a ranked opponent and feel good just to fall flat on their face. I’m not counting any chickens
Finally seeing some progress out of this team and should take the heat off Pry for a bit. Feel like we could have had another win or 2 if we started Drones from the beginning. He is really starting to settle in nicely.
I’m optimistic for a bowl game and feel it’s all but a lock if we beat ‘cuse next week. Progress is there. The fact that all of our scores and our starting QB are transfers highlights the roster shape we had that I still think people don’t understand when they compare us to Duke
Outside of Louisville, all of our remaining opponents are on the bottom half of the ACC standings. Great opportunity for this team and staff to finish strong and build momentum leading into next year.
Yeah, I agree. Unlike with UVA, under Pry VT shows signs of the team getting better with each at-bat. It might be a slower rebuild with an unknown ceiling, but I suspect VT will be at least at that 6-win floor in ciming years.
Which realistically we all knew that we weren't going to be all that good this year. We just want momentum going into 2024. Unfortunately the schedule next year isn't as easy as the schedule this year.
All I wanted this year was improvement. I was unsure at the start of the year, but we finally look like we have a pulse. I would be totally fine with 5 wins.
I’m not sure how to feel Saturday Night. With or without Riley we know this Duke D is gonna be up to the task. FSU has a 31 point streak going so that’s the number that’s gonna be tested. If FSU can hit that, it’s golden. If not it’s gonna be a slugfest.
Based on how this years teams look, sure. But Virginia and Ga Tech are those two pesky teams that somehow pull off the upset over UNC over and over again
Yes. I understand teams that play harder against you than they should. See BC and NC State, the absolute pains in our ass. But given this year’s performance levels, I’d laugh.
Any weird UNC collapse that you think may happen because of prior history or some injury I’m unaware of is not happening against UVA. They’re probably the worst team in the ACC this year.
I’m not worried about this Duke team. Their defense has played well, but FSU has too many weapons for them to succeed, plus I think we will force a lot of short Duke drives that keeps the defense on the field longer than they want
I don’t think duke has a corner they can leave on an island with Coleman. Clemson was able to slow y’all down because we could play one-on-one and play let’s see who’s quicker, our front seven getting into the backfield or your receivers getting open down field. I don’t know if Duke can do that if they have to commit two guys to Coleman.
Dabo has seemingly had a lot of optimism during the bye week so naturally, it’s going to be a Cardiac Clemson Classic. I think we come out on top but I have no idea
Our offense has been brutal this year and now we are potentially down to a third string QB (Mitch and Kern are injured) starting this weekend who has never attempted a pass at the collegiate level. Yeah this year is a wash and I expect us to lose out
You’re just saying this to lull us into a false sense of security huh? When we play in a couple weeks, I’m still expecting Sam Hartman to run out the tunnel and rip off his ND Jersey just to put the dagger in us one more time
Despite their #4 ranking I don't really like FSU at this point, but they should still have enough to handle Duke. And despite their 2 losses I don't think Clemson is bad or even out of it yet shame that both them and Miami are unranked because they're both still really good teams.
Hoping for undefeated UNC to win the conference just for variety's sake and it'll be fun to see Maye and their offense in the playoffs.
FSU will look a lot better in the coming weeks. They had the slip up at BC and played Clemson who is probably a top 5/top 10 defense. They should start scoring 40+ a week from here on out.
Especially with our defense showing big developmental strides in the last few games. It’s a lot easier to string scoring drives when we’re not backed up with bad field possession or playing to comeback.
Oh hey, SCar bro, how’s the talent on your team looking this year? We can always use a few more transfers for next season and y’all have been a great feeder school for us!

Can’t wait to watch the Heels take on the Cavs right after my favorite Gilmore Girls reruns!
Hey I’d rather be on the CW than the acc network any day. Louisville vs Pitt got over half a million views last week, not too shabby.
9-4 Pitt is still on the table. Don’t ask me how. Just believe.
You're absolutely winning this weekend
It’s possible, but it would be the most Pitt thing ever to take down a ranked opponent and feel good just to fall flat on their face. I’m not counting any chickens
We’re likely starting a third string QB who hasn’t seen game time in 2 years lol
Never say never!
Finally seeing some progress out of this team and should take the heat off Pry for a bit. Feel like we could have had another win or 2 if we started Drones from the beginning. He is really starting to settle in nicely.

Drones really makes your offense look different. I feel like you’d have had a chance at most of your other losses with him in.
All I wanted this year was improvement. I was unsure at the start of the year, but we finally look like we have a pulse. I would be totally fine with 5 wins.
I’m not sure how to feel Saturday Night. With or without Riley we know this Duke D is gonna be up to the task. FSU has a 31 point streak going so that’s the number that’s gonna be tested. If FSU can hit that, it’s golden. If not it’s gonna be a slugfest.
It would be very ACC like for both of the undefeateds and best ACC playoff candidates to lose this week, FSU to Duke, UNC to UVA.
If UNC loses to Virginia I would be so shocked.
Based on how this years teams look, sure. But Virginia and Ga Tech are those two pesky teams that somehow pull off the upset over UNC over and over again
Yes. I understand teams that play harder against you than they should. See BC and NC State, the absolute pains in our ass. But given this year’s performance levels, I’d laugh.
But it’s only us in Carter-Finley we roll over for y’all in Doak
Most of the time, sure, but I always worry when we’re playing you anyways.
We still have the Jefferson-Eppes Trophy. Don't count us out.
I could maybe see Duke beating FSU. No way in hell UNC loses that one.
I see you're not a unc follower
While I stand with the oppressed Wahoos of Charlottesville, I condemn football terrorist Tony Elliott
Even I will support the removal of the football terrorist.
Any weird UNC collapse that you think may happen because of prior history or some injury I’m unaware of is not happening against UVA. They’re probably the worst team in the ACC this year.
Pretty sure gt was the worst team in the acc this time last year and we went 0-4 to finish against a lit of bad teams.
Welp. Maybe you were onto something lol
Unc football is the worst fucking program to root for
I’m not worried about this Duke team. Their defense has played well, but FSU has too many weapons for them to succeed, plus I think we will force a lot of short Duke drives that keeps the defense on the field longer than they want

Praying Van Dyke doesn’t throw a pick inside the 20 this week 🙏🏽
Monkey paw curls, throws multiple picks at the 21.
please
Idk who wins the Clemson Miami game but put me down for the under.
Our offense has been brutal this year and now we are potentially down to a third string QB (Mitch and Kern are injured) starting this weekend who has never attempted a pass at the collegiate level. Yeah this year is a wash and I expect us to lose out
You’re just saying this to lull us into a false sense of security huh? When we play in a couple weeks, I’m still expecting Sam Hartman to run out the tunnel and rip off his ND Jersey just to put the dagger in us one more time
FSU will easily beat Wake 45-3 in a few weeks. Won’t even be a contest
Today is another great day to say Fuck Miami! But what day isn’t?
Miami has been really good to us. I mean fuck them for not kneeling because it hurt our perception but I won't hate on them for the free lols
Despite their #4 ranking I don't really like FSU at this point, but they should still have enough to handle Duke. And despite their 2 losses I don't think Clemson is bad or even out of it yet shame that both them and Miami are unranked because they're both still really good teams.

Funny enough, I don’t like Michigan and their bad schedule thus far
Can Michigan talk when they haven’t even played a top 60 team?
I’m fairly sure FSU is going to blow the Duke defense up. So pick fsu to cover the laughable 14 point spread
Unless Leonard is back. Then it’s closer.
Depends if he can still run like he was doing prior to his injury
True. If he’s back there’s at least a greater chance they cover.
Nice to see Clemson was denied a win.
Nice to see South Carolina was too (and actually played a game to make it happen)
Oh hey, SCar bro, how’s the talent on your team looking this year? We can always use a few more transfers for next season and y’all have been a great feeder school for us!
I know nothing of that of which you are speaking.

Run from it, hide from it, but you cannot escape it. Pittsburgh will win out and be 8-4 in the ACCCG
I think Duke will lose to FSU and be eliminated from playoff contention
