I'd rather be wrong if it benefits Pitt... Shady ran behind a line that couldn't get a yard any time we needed it and he still set the big east record for yds by a freshman. When's the last time you saw a draw in the 2 minute drill go for 20+ yards...much less on consecutive plays? I don't think we even know how good Shady is yet... I’ll definitely take 8-4.

That is really saying something. As for Baldwin being the best tight end - HE'S NOT A TIGHT END. He doesn't block at all lined up at wide-out most of the time in high school. Scout finally listed him as a receiver, rivals should do the same.

Basically, the article is a speculation about the 2017 NFL All Pro Team. Shady and Baldwin are on the list. In fact, Shady had his picuture on the Yahoo home page, prominently displaying his PITT jersey. Of course, this means nothing, but it is a nice recognition of the talent on our team. http://collegefootball.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=760917

Also, two of the predicted 4 losses are by less than 0.5 points so they are close to being tossups. And the two other losses predicted are by 3 points or less. IMO, if the team improves with the maturation of Blair, Brown and Wannamaker and Fields comes back it's not beyond the realm of possibility that it could do better than 8-4 therest of the way.

Let’s see:

At Nova? L, as expected.

At USF? W, as required.

Seton Hall? W, one of games i predicted going either way.

Georgetown? W, no one saw that coming. I was wrong.

At Cinci? L, i called this a must win, cancels out georgetown.

At St Johns? W, as required.

I predicted either 3-3 or 4-2 at this point, we’re 4-2…

We have a long way to go, with a loaded back end schedule…

Instead of 9-9, i guess we may be 10-8 or 11-7…we *should* win all the home games the rest of the way except maybe Louisville…we need to find a way to win at SU, anything on top of that on the road is going to be a bonus…unless fields comes back at some point.

I don’t think i was that far off…

How are we doing? I assume you now think we will win a few others that weren't on your original list? How about publishing your latest projections so we can all opine on your selctions.
