This season is building up some good storylines between u and the U… top two teams in the conference and the nation, and top two heisman candidates. This is a season for sure

I’d stay away from any qb named Rattay

Week 6 Preview: at Pittsburgh (2-3, 0-1)

Synopsis
Going from clashing a few times in integral games such as the ACC Championship game and during the College Football Playoffs to this has been a devastating decline for head coach Pat Narduzzi and the Pittsburgh Panthers, but losing your star, Heisman candidate quarterback to the transfer portal will do that.

After quarterback Ify Cashman opted for greener pastures (and a more potent NIL package, we're sure), the Panthers have stumbled out of the gate to a 2-3 record, suffering an embarrassing loss to Georgia Southern in Week 3, starting a three-game losing streak that have seen them fall out of the Top 25 ranking after falling to Alabama (34-25) and Syracuse (24-20). The Panthers get a chance to right the ship, but will have the tall task of facing the streaking number one team in the country.

The Panthers are currently getting lost in the details, averaging only a 27% conversion rate on third down, leaving them last in the ACC. Conveniently, SMU does not fare much better, with only 40% of their third downs getting over the yellow line. Their offensive and defensive units are both in the middle of the pack in the ACC, with the hopes they can catch an SMU squad that hasn't quite caught fire despite beating great teams by surprise.

The team has shifted to true freshman quarterback Levi Byham as their salvation, and the young quarterback has responded well with 1,259 passing yards and 9 touchdowns through the air to only two interceptions. He adds two scores on the ground. WILL linebacker Matthew York would have had all eyes on him after his amazing start to the season rushing the quarterback, with 8 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks accumulated in 5 games but he will be out for today's game with a torn labrum. Making up for him being out will be edge rusher Brian Roberts (11 tackles for loss and 3 sacks), who will no doubt leave SMU's offensive line with their hands full
