1. Take us through the Pitt football season to date, have things gone as expected?

Not exactly. Pitt knew this was a particularly daunting schedule going into it, but the Penn State game was more lopsided than it should’ve been. So was UCF. As for North Carolina? That was just a bad loss to a team that projects as one of the worst in the ACC. Quarterback Kenny Pickett hasn’t shown much promise, the defense continues to struggle and even special teams was a comedy of errors in that 51-6 loss to the hated Nittany Lions. That one cast an early pall on the 2018 season.
