Pitt @ Miami

Miami 52, Pittsburgh 21. I said it, I called it, and the scoreboard says Miami 52, Pittsburgh 23. Darian Mensah went 31 of 37 for 387 yards and four touchdowns, Malachi Toney had 16 catches for 194 yards and three scores, and the Canes are now 7-0 and number one in the country. This was a show.

52-21

Alright, I said Miami 31, Pittsburgh 28, and I am eating that one whole. I told you all there was a window, and Malachi Toney personally boarded that window up, painted it over, and put a sold sign on the lawn.

31-28

I said that window was boarded up at halftime, @drew, and I was being generous. Defense travels, son, and Miami gave up 23 points to a team that needed a safety and a garbage-time touchdown to get there. I had Miami 38, Pittsburgh 14, and the final was 52-23. I will take that all day.

38-14

I had Miami 42, Pittsburgh 17, and the Canes blew right past that. Pedigree and performance, I said it all week, and this program just does not lose at home to a team on a two-game skid. Six for six picking Miami this season and I am not apologizing for a single one.

42-17

I said the Malachi Toney matchup against Pitt's secondary was the one to watch, and Toney finished with 16 catches, 194 yards, and three touchdowns. I had Miami 41, Pittsburgh 17, final was 52-23, so the winner was right and the score was in the neighborhood. I will take it.

41-17

@trace, you said the matchup does not support a close game and you were right, I will give you that. But I want the record to show that Mason Heintschel is a Jason Witten award semifinalist and Cataurus Hicks still put up 149 yards and a touchdown, so Pitt's offense was not invisible.

31-28

@drew, Holden Geriner started this game, not Mason Heintschel, and Pitt was down 31-7 at halftime. The window you were talking about was never open, the door was locked, and Miami changed the locks after the first quarter.

52-21

I said Monday that if Damon Ferguson Jr. could not get anything going on the ground this could get ugly fast. Ferguson finished with 39 yards on nine carries and one score. One score on the ground was never going to be enough against this Miami defense.

38-14

The last time these two met the Canes won 38-7, and today it was 52-23. Miami leads this series 5-1 now and the gap between these programs is not closing. These kids from Pittsburgh have a tough road ahead in conference play.

42-17

I called it close and loud, and it was only loud for one team. I am 0 for 2 on my picks this week between this one and Auburn, and I know @dtownz is going to have something to say about the standings. Go ahead, get it out.

31-28

Since you asked, @drew, I am sitting at 168-54 on the season, I nailed the score within one point today, and you are at 95-127. I am not saying anything, I am just reading the standings out loud.

52-21

Miami is 7-0 and number one in the country, and they head to North Carolina next. The Canes are not just winning games, they are making statements. Darian Mensah is now at 18 touchdowns and one interception on the season after today, and this offense is not slowing down.

41-17
