"Pittsburgh Panthers O:6 D:6" For the Pittsburgh Panthers, chalk 2005 to experience. After a 2004 season of success the Panthers had a nightmare of a season in 2005, even with 16 of their starters coming back, the new philosophies on both offense and defense brought in by new head coach Dave Wannstedt were just too much to grasp.
The Pittsburgh Panthers had their first losing season since 1999, and lost their first three games of the season for the first time since 1984. This year 6 starters are coming back, including quarterback Tyler Palko, who no doubt has been having nightmares all year about the 2005 season. With a very young offensive talent, they will have much to grasp but should get better as the season moves along.
" Bet on the Pittsburgh Panthers here."
The defense on the other hand have a few studs in middle linebacker H.B. Vlades and Cornerback Darrelle Revis, which should help them in becoming a more balanced stop unit, as they were ranked #2 against the pass but #94 against a running game. With a lot of talented incoming frosh the Pittsburgh Panthers will look to improve and forget the 2005 season all together.
