Pitt seems like they will have a good football program with their coach and all but honestly, I watched the Pitt game and never really thought Pitt had a chance. Sure, they made it a game but honestly, what game did the Pitt fans watch?
Wanted Pitt to beat Notre Dame and finished ranked. That would have helped us. No one can predict next season but if we have the same team spirit and winning attitude, I'd think most reasonable fans would expect us to win.
That being said we had an exceptional year where everyone really played well, hard, intelligently and got it done. That's what it takes. Minus that, though we are very talented, we aren't going to overwhelm with just talent. We are more a blue collar program in a lot of ways. We don't have stacks of 5 star recruits like Alabama. We can win, beat anyone, even go undefeated but we have to give it our all and have that certain mental edge, however one wants to define it.
We had it last year. We were weak on the D-line and had injuries there and lacked depth. Outside of that, we're playing Alabama for the title match, and we could well be doing that next year.
Pitt may be a good team, could beat us, but they are not yet at that level.
