Austin Peay vs Pitt Game Preview
While this matchup klicks off Pitt’s season, it will be the second game for Austin Peay, who lost to Central Arkansas, 24-17, last weekend. Peay got off to a strong start, but they couldn’t hold on to the lead in the final minutes. Running back CJ Evans ran for a 75-yard score on the Governors first possession, but that was the primary offensive highlight for Austin Peay.
Junior quarterback Jeremiah Oatsvall had an underwhelming day in the loss, going 14-31 for 181 yards, no touchdowns and an interception. He ran for a score, but the offense only managed 16 first downs all game, and they just couldn’t get clicking.
One of the more interesting matchups of this game will be the Governors’ defense against Pitt’s rushing attack. Peay gave up 177 yards rushing on 31 attempts (that’s 5.7 yards per carry) last week, but they held Central Arkansas to a 25 percent success rate on third-down, so they buckled down when they needed to. They will be facing a Panthers team with a questionable situation at running back, so how well they stop the run will be crucial.
Despite the question marks at running back, Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi is high in his team’s offensive line. “The offensive line may be the most cohesive unit on our football team,” Narduzzi said last week. “Those guys do everything together. They wear the same stinky, smelly shirt (every day).”
Garment choices aside, they’ll be blocking for committee of A.J. Davis, Todd Sibley Jr. and Vincent Davis, and Narduzzi said this week he saw the team’s future starter likely emerging against the Governors.
“There’s a group of tailbacks there that we’re going to find out who gets hot and who’s making plays. Then we’ll find out who our starter is,” the Pitt coach said. “It’s going to be who shows up on game day. But I’ve got trust in every one of them.”
On defense, Pitt is trying to improve overall from last season, where they allowed 22.5 points a game, which was 36th in the nation. Their defensive line is above average, however, and should continue to be. The Panthers led the nation in sacks last season, netting nearly four per game, and Rashad Weaver and Patrick Jones were a huge reason why. Both will be back anchoring the defense this season, and the Governors are going to have their work cut out for them.
