Well, that UNC-Pitt Thursday night game on November 9 looks to be one hell of a dog.
That Pitt lost was not a surprise. That the running game struggled again, not a surprise. Poor handling of working Kenny Pickett into the game — kind of a surprise.
Let me get the positive part first. I’m not displeased with the defense. It isn’t a shut-down defense by any stretch, but there is clear improvement. Each week, they are getting better. There are leaks. There are busted plays — which are always going to happen with a defense that takes risks — but they have been far better then the low point that was Oklahoma State.
