JMU's $$ game against SMU is in week four, which is better then week one.
If we played our 1-AAA teams in weeks one and two, we would have a 2-0 record and rising fan excitement. If you lose to Pitt on week three, then you still can boast a winning record going into conference play.
My fear is that a loss to Pitt, after years of underachievement, will bring about a "same old, same old" attitude and an early dismissive feeling amongst the casual fans.
Pitt is not the toughest team on our schedule, but the most important game of the season IMO.
This YSU team is a more talented team with a wiser HC than the one that beat Pitt. Last year, Akron beat Pitt. It could happen....but if I had to set the spread, I'd say Pitt minus 10, Over/under 45.
