2. Pitt should not be too much of a challenge

In Week 3, Oklahoma State faces their toughest non-conference test of the 2017 season. However, Pitt is not the same team that they were in 2016 when they were the only team to defeat the eventual National Champion Clemson Tigers.

Pitt took on the Penn State Nittany Lions in Week 2. Penn State downed the Panthers by a 19-point margin, not having much of a chance at any point during the game. While we don’t know how good the Pokes are compared to the Nittany Lions, we do know both are top 10 type squads.

USC transfer quarterback Max Browne does not measure up to Mason Rudolph in any way or form. Browne threw for less than 150 yards and also tossed two interceptions. If Pitt does end up defeating Oklahoma State, it will be because of the ground attack.
