Pittsburgh -9, my foot.

Difference in SP+ is 10 points and so should be -7 with 3 points for home field. You could argue too that computer ranking underrate improvement in performance on offense. We had 5.3 ypp against Miami versus Pitt's 4.4 ypp.

I didn't watch Miami-Pitt, but this series seems bad. Wasn't the delay of game intentional to set up a better angle for the FG? With 7:33 left, no way the FG was the correct play.

The keys to the game will rely upon our outside rushers and LB making about 5 big plays in the game; and our O getting about 4 big drag route completions by our TEs.
 
There's the key right there. Just when you start to think they're ööööty, they go out and beat a Clemson or Penn State. Then you start to think "oh wow they're pretty good" and they get blasted by Duke. That's pretty much the entire Coastal right now.
Hell it’s the entire ACC minus Clemson

Their left tackle was abused by miami’s Pass rush. Curious to see what Thacker dials up.
