Re: The Rise of the Carnegie Mellon Tartans (NCAA Football 07)
at Carnegie Mellon Tartans (0-2) at Pittsburgh Panthers (1-1) Saturday, September 17, 2011 | 6:00 PM (ET) Pittsburgh, Pa. – Heinz Field | FSN Pittsburgh Top Storyline: Will Carnegie Mellon be able to move the ball?Who would have thought a Jules Nottingham-designed offense would struggle this much? That’s precisely what has happened through two games of his head-coaching tenure, though one of those coming at No. 15 Nebraska without Eddie Williams can be given a mulligan. Pitt’s defense isn’t the most daunting the Tartans will see this season, but CMU must get better production from both its passing and rushing attacks. Junior quarterback Kevin Wilson (47.9 QB rtg., 13-43, 170 yards, 1 TD, 5 INT) gets a shot at building some confidence without Gerald Culver taking snaps due to the sophomore’s knee injury, and one of senior Nate Satele (12 carries, 33 yards) and second-year Lawrence McIntire (23 carries, 48 yards) will look to break through and help keep drives alive.Top Matchup: Carnegie Mellon DT Matt Burnsides vs. Pittsburgh RG Jon FiegerA battle between two potential future NFL players will happen in the trenches between CMU’s Matt Burnsides and Pitt’s Jon Fieger. Fieger was graded with 14 pancake blocks last season, earning All-Big East First Team recognition and a 95.0 mark from Pro Football Focus. Burnsides has made back-to-back Associated Press All-America teams after earning Second Team recognition last year, and has compiled 20 sacks over his career. The Tartans junior has gotten off to a slow start in 2011 with two tackles, but a matchup against a talent like Fieger could spark him into a breakout performance.Top Mismatch: Carnegie Mellon Defense vs. Pittsburgh QB Eugene HaltermanWhile the Tartans offense has been poor, the same can’t be same about the team’s defense. The CMU unit has forced eight turnovers through two games and have returned two interceptions for touchdowns. Next up on their hit list is Pitt redshirt junior Eugene Halterman (151.8 QB rtg., 30-51, 361 yards, 7 TD, 3 INT), who is in his first year taking over for the graduated Pat Bostick. Halterman possesses decent wheels, but despite the strong start is only graded at 76.0 by Pro Football Focus. He’ll be without starting runningback Greg Williams (16 carries, 76 yards) to a sprained elbow, and will rely on a pair of true freshmen with redshirt senior Maurice Williams as his top receivers.Prediction: Pitt 24, Carnegie Mellon 17If you asked me this prior to the season starting, I would have said that this was the year CMU finally knocked off its Steel City rivals. However, with the Tartans offense struggling the way it is, the Panthers are the pick here once again. Despite losing pretty much everyone from last season’s Orange Bowl team, Pitt should extend its winning streak in the Steel City Showdown to 11 games. (Dating back to 1939, of course.)Pittsburgh PFF Top Ten

Re: The Rise of the Carnegie Mellon Tartans (NCAA Football 07)
Tough loss again, I'm sure Coach Nottingham is frustrated. I doubt he expected his offense to regress this much when he took over. Statistically, I think this was the best game Kevin Wilson has had this season, which is promising, I think coach made a good call in making him the starter.
I still think this team has a lot of potential and hopefully you guys can pick up a win before entering MAC play.

Wasn't the plan to enter the MAC slate at 0-3, but thankfully the conference seems down again so hopefully we can get back on track against Buffalo! |

Re: The Rise of the Carnegie Mellon Tartans (NCAA Football 07)
Buffalo has had a solid start to the season and is likely looking to get some revenge after the Tartans blew them out to end last season. I think the Tartan's offense finds it's groove and wins by two touchdowns, however. You're 3-0 against Buffalo all time, you just seem to have their number.
Looking around the conference the West has not gotten off to a good start, I think this will be the year Toledo declines, and anyone can win the division.
