Pittsburgh Sports Now rounded up some Pitt football predictions from local media. I added my thoughts and my general feeling for this team is another 8-4 year.
That likely won't please head coach Pat Narduzzi if it happens but it would be a solid year with a challenging schedule and lots of key personnel losses from last year. The non-conference schedule is difficult with two ranked teams and while the Panthers avoid the deadly Florida State/Clemson pairing this season, they also must face the competition in the Coastal, which includes Miami, Virginia Tech, and North Carolina squads that have all been above average teams.
