After a week off, Pitt football gets back on the field this weekend with an important matchup against Duke.
The Blue Devils haven’t been completely untested but they, like most teams, haven’t played the level of competition that Pitt has. The best team Duke has faced this season was Virginia Tech and they were beaten soundly, 31-14. Their best wins have come against 4-3 Baylor and Northwestern teams. At 5-2, Duke has looked pretty good. But I sort of equate it to something I said earlier in the year against Syracuse. If you switch the opponents Pitt has played with the opponents Duke has faced, the records would probably look different.
