SMU 35
Pitt 17

Surprising, no?

I would so bet against that if McDermott is guaranteed to be QB for the whole game.

SI's predictions have C-USA going 4-1 in bowls, only loser being Marshall. Current Big East going 1-4, only winner being Cinci.

agree we win if we get just average QB play.

Our best shot at winning is staying out of the red zone. Any time we get inside the 20, we should automatically take a couple of delay of game penalties to prevent turnovers.

I had a vision today of a 34-26 or possibly 34-23 SMU win including a blocked PAT by Margus.

Hope JJ Mc heals and we find a RB to fill Zach's shoes

Doable score w/Pitt's inept offense and now half their coaching staff gone.
I'm also hoping the month off will mean a better McD.

This should finally answer the question of how much of McDermott's performance was "bad" vs. "injured"

If a significant portion of his performance was due to "injured" we should win big.

Looking forward to seeing Zacks backups doing some major damage running the ball.

GO PONIES!!!

McDermott will give them at least 10 points.

We better not take Pitt win for granted. The Pitt players and coaches (those left) now have a lot to prove and sure as heck want to prove they are better than Graham. This will be a tough game.

if what people are saying about JJMcD being injured all season are true, we could surprise a lot of people. he had some pretty good games in the beginning. i think it's going to come down whether our RB's can get the job done.
