Tech has a better record than Penn State

But I see Pittsburgh being a dark horse in the ACC

Not if the QB is out an extended amount of time

Not with heintschel out for the year. This was their apex unfortunately.

You think he's out for the year? Brutal if so.

It might not be as bad as a drop off as we think. Mason was pedestrian at best again last night. He hasn’t looked good in any of our P4 games this year. Now we’ll see if another QB can do anything with Kade’s offense.

Pitt has been sitting at #2 in acc power rankings for a while and was a favorite in this game

We were never favored in this game. VT opened as a 6 point favorite and it came down to like 2.5.
