Pitt opens -11.5 over Syracuse

[FloridaCuse]

SMU opened -13.5
Clemson opened -15.5

 

[690West]

Down to -10.5 at FD

 

[HRE Otto IV]

Pitt is a physical team. How can we expect SU to play well against such a physical team? SU hasn’t been very physical this year.

Do the odds makers (or gamblers) know something we don't? That LC is going to start, or maybe RC has transformed into SA during the bye week? [Or maybe we beat the B.Y.E.] I thought the spread would be going higher.

 

[elimunelson]

Pitt will throttle us. Physical team vs our qb….38-3 game coming

If we get 3.

It is frustrating that the board insiders don’t have the connections they used to… unless they are being told to keep the Luke reveal under wraps.

Or maybe they still do, and they choose not to share the info on a message board that's viewable by the public.

If we come out w a Dino Dud after the bye week, the dam will begin to crack. I’m expecting DART at the very lease and hoping for a victory. We beat Clemson at their home. We can beat Pitt at ours. It’s sports. Anything can happen. Just have to DART

Or they choose not to share because a handful of idiots attack them when they do decide to share a nugget of inside info.

 

[Newhouser]

Another flat effort will be a major downer to this fan base, and spoken or not, result in some "here we go again" thoughts.

I wouldn’t call myself an insider, but I hear things now and then.

I think all of the reasons above are true. Sometimes reality hurts and people bite the hand that feeds, sometimes stuff doesn’t need to be public, and if you’ve heard me complain about not getting a practice invite yet it is both literal and a metaphor.

But at the end of the day if locking stuff down helps Fran and the team, that’s fine, I trust their judgement on that.

 

[cusefan88]

If they only beat UNC and maybe BC this year they go 5-7 and that basically is in-line with a lot of preseason predictions.

I don't see the doom and gloom. People got excited after Clemson but with Angeli hurt it's a reversion back to expectations in August.

I gotta be honest. After reading your first sentence I put on my reading glasses and got all giddy…..sigh lol.

Haha sorry. The silence on this one is deafening. My gut feel is that there’s some other factor we don’t know or understand, e.g., “money don’t sit”. But that is 100% speculation.

That prediction was based on Clemson and SMU being top 25 teams. 9 wins were there with Angeli.

And losers don't get washed. I'm certain we can take it to the bank that FB will play the players who the staff feel give the team the best chance to win today. It isn't any more complicated or mysterious than that.

 

[IHeartSUFball]

Pitt got banged yesterday too

People keep saying this but since Colgate Rickie doesn’t sit at all. Not a half not a quarter not a garbage minute possession.

With all the changes in the CFB landscape it is OK to be suspicious of that.

And anyway he's building a program. If we only cared about today I don't think we'd be recruiting freshmen so hard we'd just go for the portal.

 

[upperdeck]

Auburn played a game yesterday with 14 yds in the 2nd half. They didnt change QBS
MIchigan lost because their big stud QB cant throw but they keep throwing him out there
Flo has gone a couple years riding a QB that can barely move the ball
Texas is riding the Mannin train to the end
Neb has lost with the Rioli train wreck decisions
Sellers threw for 120 again

People like to think flipping QBS is a thing when it really isnt

 

[CanadianSU]

I’d love to be wrong, and Cuse wins… this won’t be close however for the wrong reasons.

 

[sufan59]

This game and Boston College are the two most important games left on the schedule.

 

[721Comstock]

Can we go with the Villari wildcat offense again?

It can't be worse than what we're doing now, and
Nard-Dog probably still won't have any clue what to do about it.

Apparently it's like "Crane style" to Nardouchey -
When do right, no can defense.

What do we have to lose?

 

[HRE Otto IV]

Worst Dome Ls to Pitt

1. 37 points
2. 31 points
3. 24 points
4. 17 points

I have to think this game could push into the Top 3

 

[djorange1989]

Is that spread the final score or after Rickie gets picked and/or fumbles twice in the first 6 minutes of the game?
