Iowa - Pitt game - Prediction

[Panthergrowl13]

Last year I predicted that the Iowa and Pitt teams were evenly matched and either team could win (which Iowa did).

This year I believe that Pitt will win the game (IMHO).

Last year Pitt had a young (sophomore QB (Voytik), RB (Connor), WR (Boyd)) but talented team.
The QB was making his first start and I was concerned that the inexperience would cost us a few lost games (which it did).

This year I believe Pitt will be returning 16 starters including WR Boyd (Phil Steele 1st Team AA) and RB Connor (Phil Steele 2nd Team AA).

Additionally, I think coach Narduzzi will be an upgrade from coach Chryst (time will tell).

Narduzzi (hometown Youngstown Ohio) has stated that he looks at Pitt as a final destination job (keeping a successful coach at Pitt for 15 plus years would be a huge plus for the program).

Enjoyed playing the Hawks and hope we will be able to schedule additional games in the future.

I think we will next be playing Penn State for a 4 game series starting in 2016.

HAIL TO PITT!!!!

it will be a fun game to watch, IA returns 7 starters on defense as they lost DT's LTP and Davis, MLB Alston and S Lowdermilk.

 

[Vroom_C14]

Pitt wins it.

Nope, they're going to get CJB'd.

 

[MarshHawk1]

Either they'll get CJB'd or we'll get Connor'd.

Hawks will win in a shootout after a hard fought 6-6 tie with ISU the week before.

 

[markfromj]

A tie?

 

[Ironmen1939]

A tie?

I was being a bit facetious.....my point being who knows what state of mind the hawks will be after the ISU game. If they win big let down? If they lose they rise up? Who knows.

 

[MadDogC]

Nope, they're going to get CJB'd.

Lol...Iowa with CJB does score at will on Pitt...or at least that is the meaningless trend and i plan to enjoy it...

Pitt has a lot better talent on offense, and a lot better coach on the sidelines, so they should win.
