All good here. Since you asked for my opinion, here it is. Pitt had a very nice year by Pitt standards. It only took a 5 year starting qb (who is great)in one of the worst conferences I can remember in my lifetime. It also took 3 + teams imploding in the final minutes by fumbling snaps when they were about to win the game. Virginia, UNC, and Tennessee(interception). Basically Pitt had a lot go their way this year which is great for their fans. When you make it to the ACC championship and your opponent is Wake Forest what more is there to say.
As for Starkey’s column of next year and beyond, these two programs are not close. Pitt would be Maryland in the Big 10. Actually, Maryland probably recruits at a higher level. They would struggle to stay .500. Is Pitt ranked 60th in recruiting right now? My guess and it’s probably a good one is Pitt plummets back to reality next year and loses to Western Michigan on the road and finishes 6-6 or 7-5. Cherish this season
@HailToPitt725 it might be another 40 until it happens again
