You play with fire enough and you’re liable to be burned.
Pitt came into today’s game against Miami with a minty-fresh 5-2 record and a bit of national publicity with today’s game on ESPN. But the Panthers had won their five contests by an average of less than five points per game and have really had close calls all year long.
Some have argued that the Panthers could have actually been 6-1 if it weren’t for a poor decision by Pat Narduzzi in the Penn State game. While that’s technically true, I argued that the Panthers could actually have been 2-4 or even 1-5 at the midway point of the season.
