I kind of like the zoomed out, scenic screenshots instead of the close up running shots. everyone does that. #oneofone
Chill on the depth of field then. Looks goofy with the players being the only thing in focus. Get some of the grass in focus. Doesn't have to be completely wiped out but take it out a couple of clicks.
Top 10 team being the underdog this doesn't feel right
Pitt is averaging a touchdown more a game and allowing a touchdown less per game than Miami with an undefeated road record and a better winning percentage. I probably should add rankings into my excel formula though

Miami topples Pittsburgh in convincing 45-17 win
Rumors of Miami's demise proved to be unfounded with Miami opening ACC play with a kickoff return for a touchdown on the opening kickoff against Pittsburgh. It would prove to be a positive omen for the Hurricanes who completely dominated the Pittsburgh Panthers as they cruised to a 45-17 victory.
Miami quarterback Emory Williams exorcised his early struggle demons and avenged last year's loss to Pittsburgh, completing 15 of 23 passes for 165 yards and a touchdown. Williams played the majority of the competitive snaps with Keke Hagg completing a 66-yard touchdown pass to Eric Incoom on his first pass attempt and finishing the day with 116 yards and two touchdowns on just six pass attempts, all completions.
The Panthers showed some signs of life late in the second quarter, converting a 3rd and 19 from their own five-yard line with a 24-yard completion and Eli Holstein followed it up with a 19-yard completion and a 29-yard scramble to get the ball on the Miami 23-yard line but would throw a pick six on the ensuing play to Robert Stafford.
Pittsburgh would continue to find success in the passing game with Holstein completing back-to-back passes of 35 and 52 yards with the latter going for a touchdown to Kenny Johnson to make it 21-10 with 1:21 remaining. It would be Williams' turn to execute a flawless two minute drive, completing three passes and was aided by a roughing the passer penalty that allowed Miami to rush it in from the goal line to extend the lead.
Miami's defense would shutout Pittsburgh's offense in the second half with Pittsburgh pulling Holstein and the majority of their starters in the fourth quarter. Scoring Summary Quarter 1 Chris Johnson Jr, returned kickoff 97 Yds (11:49) Sam Carpenter, 44 Yd FG (7:58)
