Don't miss out on our Early Bird Special college football play in the Big East backyard brawl! I am 57% on our Early Bird Special plays in the career for college football. This play is guaranteed or 1 day is FREE!
This game is about defense and running the ball. The last 3 match ups have been decided by 4, 4, and 3 points in the Backyard Brawl. This game will have major implications as it usually does at this time of year and these teams are simply to similar not to bet on the under dog.
At the end of the day how could you not go with the better defense overall and better run defense. West Virginia is ranked 4th overall and all of their rankings are in the top 10 including their run defense at #4. They have faced better running games than Pitt the last three weeks and have won 2 of those 3 games. They lost at Uconn despite out gaining them by 136 yards. Pitt also lost at Uconn but they were just +14.
Running game, Pitt was better last year, but not this year as they rank #59 as they have faced an average run defense ranked 51st they have faced one team with a run defense ranked inside the top 30 and that was Utah who they lost to on the first game of the season. West Virginia is ranked #46th and they have also done it against a tougher schedule an average opponent ranked 49th with some tough run defenses on the board in LSU, Cin, and Maryland.
In the end I think West Virginia has more play makers on defense DE Julian Miller and Bruce Irvin are going to get to Sunseri and force some key turnovers to get the win in a close game.
