you're talking like Pitt is BC or Wake Forest.  This isn't previous versions of Pitt there were about defense and grinding it out.  This year's Pitt teams has put lots of points on everyone.  Pitt hung 43 points on Clemson AT Clemson.  Pitt put up 56 last week against Duke.  They've put up 40+ points 6 times this year, including against Penn St.

This defense is not good.  There is no way to sugar coat that.  However, this defense was abnormally young and lacking in depth in many key areas.  Beyond that, people need to recalibrate their expectations at what successful defense will look like at Syracuse.  So long as Dino is here, we will play offense at a breakneck pace.  Doing so means more plays and opportunities for us, but it also means more possessions for the other teams and opportunities to score.  People are going to need to get used to giving up 30+ points regularly, as that will be part of the equations when we do, eventually, find success under Dino (which I firmly believe we will).
