PITTSBURGH (AP) — Maybe Pitt will see the Louisville team that held Connecticut to 195 yards of offense. Or maybe the Panthers will get the Cardinals that gave up five touchdown passes to Cincinnati.
Perhaps during Saturday’s Big East game, Louisville will see the Pitt team that couldn’t throw against Utah or couldn’t pull away from Florida International until well into the second half. Or maybe the Cardinals will get the Panthers who scored 45 points against Syracuse and 41 against Rutgers the last two weeks.
As Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt said, the Cardinals (4-3, 1-1 in Big East) and Panthers (4-3, 2-0) are teams that are very similar, right down to their matching overall records and inconsistent play. Many of their statistics are close to identical.
