Both the Pittsburgh Steelers and the University of Pittsburgh Panthers have revamped defenses.

Which squad will have a better season?
Looks like the Steelers are going to try to incorporate some variant of a Cover-2 in their plans.
UPitt is gonna try to play the Michigan State defense Pat Narduzzi's Spartans have had great success with in recent years.
 
Pitt gave up a ton of points today, but the defense looked much improved for much of the game. Fundamentally sound, were able to generate pressure and had some good looking DBs. They have a LONG way to go, but showed some promise for the future.
 
I'm gonna guess Pitt Panthers. Relatively speaking of course
 
Pitt's defense had a great game today, only 9 yards rushing and 100 yards total offense given up.
 
Wow. That was at Blacksburg too. I'd guess the Hokie fans are crying the blues again tonight. I think they will start to call for Beamer to resign soon.
 
Win against Virginia. Not the prettiest of games, they got leaky at times but the defense was again the catalyst for a win.

Defense now nationally 3rd in total yards against, 7th in yards against per game, 6th in rush yards against and 3rd in sacks.
 
It's unfortunate that Conner went down because they probably handle the last few games very easily with him in the lineup.
