Reed forwarded me the annual Athlon “ACC Coaches Talk Anonymously About Conference Foes” article last night, and I’m glad he did, because it’s one of my favorite articles of the year.
You’ll remember what they said about Pitt heading into last year:
“The division title was a great thing for Pat (Narduzzi), but it probably doesn’t change much for the program. Year in and year out you always see the same thing from these guys — they reflect Narduzzi in how they’re physical and disciplined and really mean working against you, but it’s always a question of how far their talent can take them. It’s not about a limitation of their culture or their play calling. It’s really all about what kind of talent they can get. They’re losing a lot of guys heading into this season, and the crowning achievement for that group was a 7–7 run. That’s just the reality of the program right now.”
