Miami (FL) and Pittsburgh Preview

 The lights will flicker on as the Miami (FL) Hurricanes storm onto opponent territory to take on the Pittsburgh Panthers. Both teams had pretty high expectations coming into the year. Miami was ranked 13 but suffered a tough defeat at Ohio State. Jacory Harris threw four picks not all of which were his fault. Recievers were confused and there was miscommunication on routes on more than one occasion and penalties also led to Miami losing any chance of upsetting #2 Ohio State. Meanwhile Pittsburgh took a loss on the road at Utah. The stud sophmore running back Deion Lewis could only amass 75 yards in the game on 25 carries. Now both teams look to bounce back with a win Thursday. I will have to go with Miami to win this game though because I believe they are a far superior team. They at times played with Ohio State and at the start of the game they looked like they may pull ahead of Ohio State with phenomenal special teams play. Jacory Harris is a leader and will likely bounce back with a good game. The problem for Pittsburgh is that teams are zoned in on Deion Lewis and he is a big part of their offense if not almost all of it. If Lewis cant get over a good bit over 100 yards on the ground Miami should easily run away with it. Miami 38-17 over Pitt is my guess because of Miami's advantage on offense and large advantage on special teams. The game will be played Thursday at 7:30 pm at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh
