Big Big game. This is going to be a measuring stick for us. They are beatable but the offense has to keep up with theirs and that's a tall task. Pitt beat them 2 weeks ago and won it on a trick play. It was a fight for Pitt.
Box of that game is here: https://www.espn.com/college-footbal...meId=401112461
If everyone's healthy on D I think we might be ok there. Narduzzi at PItt is a defensive guy for those who don't remember him as Dantonio's DC here. He hard a time slowing them down but I like Fickell and Marcus Freeman's ability to game plan on D a little better. The surprising thing was the UCF D couldn't stop PItt. Pitt has almost 200 yards rushing in that game and 300 passing.
I think we have to eliminate turnovers and offensive penalties in this game if at all possible. Have to stay ahead of the sticks on offense.
We have to opportunistic on the back end against their passing game without taking too much risk and giving up chunk yardage. have to be able tackle in space against their speed. I would like to see us disguise coverages and blitzes against Dillon Gabriel. Gabriel's good in this offense but he's still a true freshman.
Sam Crosa need to bring his A game. Need every available point.
Nippert needs to be loud from the opening kick and stay that way all game.
