Premature Anticipation

Last week, we saw Sports Illustrated's Campus Union roll out their list of "100 things we’re most excited for in the 2014 college football season." From that, we found a new definition of Pitt football at #82. This week, they have finished off their list, and Penn State makes an appearance at lucky #13:

13. James Franklin’s impact at Penn State. Franklin redefined expectations during his three-year stay at Vanderbilt. Now, the Nittany Lions new coach has a chance to revitalize Happy Valley. The Langhorne, Pa., native has wasted no time making an impact: His 2015 recruiting class ranks second in the nation, according to Rivals.com. Better yet? Franklin inherits an ultra-talented quarterback in Christian Hackenberg and a trio of pass-catching tight ends in Jesse James, Kyle Carter and Adam Breneman.

I don't know about you, but the anticipation of this 2014 season is killing me!

Definition of Pitt Football

From Sports Illustrated's Campus Union . . . 100 Things We're most Excited for in the 2014 Season . . .

82. Pittsburgh’s attempt to enter ACC contention There are certain college football teams that exude confidence, precision and ferocity. Oregon is a screaming attack fighter. Alabama is a fearsome, unyielding tank. Pitt, on the other hand? Pitt is an overweight mail clerk rolling backwards down a hill in an office chair. Wide receiver Tyler Boyd is pretty good, though.

Pitt Football . . . Are you ready to RUMBLE?
