ESU is a ton better on special teams than Pitt. I think that could make a huge difference.
I honestly don't know what to make of Pitt's chances in this one.
They are young and inconsistent on offense, and it seems like the playcalling is almost Broyles like at times, stubbornly sticking with what doesn't work. The OL is questionable at times, the qb is good if he throws enough to find a rhythm, the backs are pretty steady, but I think Horack is still hurt, and Adkins got dingeda little tonight. Bryce Murphy will be back at WR, so that will help with depth there.
The D can't get pressure without blitzing, and the back end lacks depth. Playcalling there is also slow to adjust. ie: never bringing any heatvafter the UNK qb when he was in obvious passing situations. The soft zone they like to get in is very susceptible to a good qb.
Pitt will have to put a much better game together than they have so far if they want to hang with Emporia.
I think they have the pieces to do it, but don't know if they will.

It seems to me that "play it safe". Has been the default at times. That may just be a function of not having the right pieces in place, idk?
The staff will have a learning curve. If Pitt beats 2 out of unk, mw, esu, wu, nw, hays I will consider it a good first season for the staff. They have 5 chances left to do that.
