UofL needs to beat Pitt to ensure winning season

The University of Louisville football program could take a major step back to respectability with a win over Pittsburgh at Heinz Field on Saturday.

A day of assessment, a time to measure just how far this team has come since losing its first three games and winning six of the next seven encounters.

Pittsburgh looks good on paper, entering the game with a 7-3 won-loss record , those losses coming to good teams — Notre Dame, Iowa and North Carolina. However, the Panthers also struggled against Syracuse and Virginia, two common opponents UofL defeated.

Louisville, with Kyle Bolin calling the signals, is becoming more adept with the Bobby Petrino offense.
