This is Pitt's first real test of the year. It's our staff's 2nd full season and they're ahead of schedule. Ferris is the heavy favorite, and Pitt hasn't played an elite team yet. I think they may have to take a thumping this year to learn what it really takes to play with the big boys.
Pitt is a pretty complete team, but they aren't great at anything. Just fundentallynsound and decent at everything. Their focus has been complimentary football and they are getting there.
Pitt and NW both have offenses that kind of disappear at times. Pitt because they live by the deep ball, and love to.try and sit on.a lead, and NW because of injuries and lack of offensive identity.
Since their last national title in 2006, here is who GV has lost to in the playoffs:
2007: NW Missouri State
2008: Minnesota-Duluth 2009: NW Missouri State
2010: Augustana 2013: NW Missouri State
2015: Shepherd 2016: Ferris State
2018: NW Missouri State
2019: Ferris State
2021: Ferris State
GV definitely gonna have their shot to get some revenge this week, and possibly next week.
