On ESPN’s College GameDay Saturday morning, analyst Kirk Herbstreit felt Pitt was looking past Miami and at the ACC Championship Game when they got beat 24-3 to the Hurricanes last week in Miami.
He feels the Panthers will give Clemson a better game tonight.
“I will say this for Pitt. You can look at the game from Miami and say Miami’s defense, Clemson’s defense built somewhat the same athletically and size. I think Pitt had one eye on Charlotte and one eye on Miami.
“I think Pitt, they relish the underdog role. Pat Narduzzi coached under Mark Dantonio at Michigan State, that is what they kind of build, a chip on their shoulder.
