Pitt vs Miami Game Preview
Why Miami Will Win
Well there we go, Miami, was that so hard?
The Hurricanes had struggled through tough loss after tough loss, but they’re still fighting and still trying to make something out of the season.
It all finally turned the other way with a 31-30 win over NC State with a great day out of QB Tyler Van Dyke and a passing game that picked a perfect time to have one of its best games of the season.

Pickett is playing as well as any quarterback in the country – he threw for over 300 yards with two scores in the win over Clemson, and he has just one pick on the year. More than anything else, he’s moving the chains for an O that leads the ACC in time of possession, keeping the ball for close to 34 minutes per game.

Just when it seems like it’s all going to implode for Miami, it doesn’t.
It could just as easily be coming into this on a four-game winning streak right now rather than be fighting for its bowl eligibility life, but it’s all of those little missed details that are adding up.
Pitt will get the better play from its defensive line, the quarterback, and as a whole as it pushes through with a strong early fourth quarter to maintain its hold on the Current Best Team In The ACC honor.
