[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 91923, member: 639"] I think Pitt has a good D and they deserve their ranking. However, you can usually throw out defensive rankings when it comes to playing GT. We are different. There have been a few D's that have slowed us down over the CPJ years, but they haven't always been the great statistical D's against the rest of CFB. The defenses I fear the most in the CPJ era are the ones that are both fast and disciplined. We can option off a certain amount of DL dominance, although not all of it. If teams can play their assignments, get off blocks, and chase to the sideline, then they have a chance to give us trouble. All three of those elements have to be in place if we are doing our job. Not many defenses are doing all three against the option. I suspect PITT will be able to get off blocks some, plus they might be decent in following assignments, but the chase part I am not so sure. We will have to work for it, but we are likely to get our points and yards. I look for us to chuck it some effectively this week, plus the well executed option is a great equalizer. We have that now. We might score 40, if we get them off the field on D, but most likely a bit under that. [/QUOTE]
