Week 4: Pitt

Even with Connette as our QB (and I use that term loosely), it looks like the line is Duke -4. Is Pitt really that bad?
 
Incorrect p-fac. Duke is 4 point underdog, Pitt -4. That means that really Pitt is favored by about a touchdown, given that the home team is usually given 3 points for home field advantage (something that bookies should not take into account with Duke, but nevertheless do.)

I would like to see us run the ball about 65-70% of the time and any pass plays be on roll-outs or out of a QB option where Connette is running. He passes so much better on the run than standing still in the pocket. The problem is that since he is not a threat to throw deep, the receivers can be jammed up at the line of scrimmage pretty much the whole game, no need to give a cushion, which makes it a lot harder to throw short routes that have been our bread and butter the past couple of years.

I see us losing this game by about 10 points, but would like to be proven wrong. I'll just pray to Baby Tebow I guess.

Oh oops, I must have crossed my eyes or something when I looked at it. I knew that couldn't be right.

lol

Stupid pfac.

The real line, in my head, is around Pitt -14. I just have no faith in us being competitive with a real team with our current situation.
 
I'm the same way. If we keep it under 20 it's a win in my book. Our defense seems like it's better but it's not good enough to overcome the ineptitude of a Brandon Connette led offense.

We should juts lock this thread now and save it as the worst thread of all time. And probably also ban pfactor while we're at it.
