Pittsburgh 5-1  (2-0) : A- Kenny Pickett is getting Heisman buzz, and there was a win at Tennessee. If they had not lost to Western Michigan, they could have got an A+. Pittsburgh can win every remaining game on their schedule, I’m just not brave enough to call it. Predicted Finish – 10-2 (7-1) Virginia …

Do you know how you might be pretty darn good? You sleep walk to a 3 Touchdown victory on the road. That’s exactly what Pittsburgh did Saturday in a 28-7 victory in Blacksburg over Virginia Tech. Pittsburgh jumped out to a 21-0 lead at the half, and never looked back. At no point after the …

After escaping with 17-14 win over Syracuse, it’s become abundantly clear there’s no fixing the Clemson offense in 2021. After a BYE week to reset the offense, it was more of the same as we’ve seen all year with barely 300 yards of offense, and an ugly 5 for 15 on third down. Here’s the …

Miami (2-3) Last Week: 13 From pre-season nationally ranked 14, to the ACC’s 14th ranked team. A loss to UNC could create a very ugly situation for Manny Diaz. 13. Syracuse (3-3) Last week: …

As good as Virginia Twitter felt after their comeback against Louisville, well there is the other side of coin. Louisville was cruising to victory, and then they weren’t. Louisville twitter didn’t take the loss well. Still can’t get over the fact this staff doesn’t do the simple things that work. Presssure on the QB, plays …
