I was surprised by what I saw from Eli Holstein and the Pitt offense in Week 1. In fact, I was so surprised that I'm having a hard time believing the Panthers will be able to do it again. It won't be low-scoring, but this total feels a little too high.

I think this is about a TD high, and in fact the SL Model has 52 points being scored. Pitt freshman QB Eli Holstein was terrific in the season opener but a bit of a different level of competition facing Cincinnati on the road compared to Kent State at home. Cincy's defense will get a boost with the expected season debut of 2023 second-team All-Big 12 DT Dontay Corleone. He was treated for blood clots in his lungs in June and was cleared today to play in games and resume all football activities. Corleone didn't play in the opener but has been practicing. UC is also breaking in a new young QB in sophomore Brendan Sorsby. No opinion on the side.
