Stuff I want to see:

I'd like to continue seeing a defense that's disruptive.

I'd like to continue seeing defensive backs that we trust 1:1.

I'd like to continue seeing Nykeim fighting for yards on kick returns.

I'd like to see us hit on some of the long pass routes.

I'd like to see quick hit passes - to an outside receiver with a blocker, on slants, on pops to the TE, something, anything to get Jordan the ball in space.

Stuff I do not want to see:

1st down runs up the middle, especially on our first possession. I may shut it off if this happens.

Receivers standing around when DeVito leaves the pocket.

Our offensive linemen knocking DeVito over.

Back to back 3 and outs from our offense.

The defense wearing down because we can't give them a breather.

Timeouts taken after a stoppage of play/at other odd times or to avoid a preventable penalty.

Some flukey thing that happens in Pitt's favor and is the difference in a W and L.

Especially THIS to that last one.

Been far too much of that in our recent losses to them.

Especially the last two points

That's sounds like Doug Marrone's list of things he would prioritize.

I assume that's Doug's list after he's properly hydrated with Gatorade and sated by bologna sandwiches and Dove bars.

Once he gets to the game though his priorities change a little and he wants to see punts in the air.

A defensive or special teams TD would be nice. I’d like to see TD have a chance to get in a rhythm early with some short passes. I’d like to see Benson up the middle of the field a few times on a LB. I’d like to see Pitt turn the ball over 5 times.
