The Panthers looked to be markedly improved from last
season’s team that went 5-6 when they easily handled Virginia
38-13 in their opener Saturday. They mixed the run and pass better than they
did last season, and their defense looked faster and more athletic. That’s the
next challenge for these Panthers (1-0) — win away from Pittsburgh.
Last year’s team went 0-5 on the road, including losses by a combined 54 points
to Louisville and West
Virginia
in their final two road games. Pitt hasn’t
won on the road since beating South Florida and Notre
Dame in its final two road games in 2004, Walt Harris’ last season as the
Panthers’ coach. Among last season’s losses were a 16-10 overtime defeat at Ohio
U.—also on a Friday night during the second weekend of the season—and a 7-6
loss to Nebraska. The Panthers
didn’t have much trouble in handling Cincinnati
last season, winning 38-20. The Bearcats, 4-7 overall and 2-5 in the Big East
last season, beat Eastern Kentucky 31-0 in their opener
last weekend.

Cy McCormick of MasterLockLine.com is reporting that Bearcat
head coach for the first time in his coaching career is appealing to the fans
for a huge turnout on national television. 
So far the fans appear to be rallying around the appeal and a boisterous
crowd is expected.
