Austin Peay at Pittsburgh 9/12/20 - College Football Picks & Predictions

The Governors get a chance to play in their second game of the seasons. The first game the Governors played in was a 24-17 loss to the Central Arkansas club in what looked like a very poor showing defensively for Austin Peay.

In the game the passing attack for the Governors was led by Jeremiah Oatsvall who threw for 181 yards and a pick. CJ Evans Jr. did look good on the field running the ball with 10 carries for 98 yards and a touchdown.

Pittsburgh is one team that is not rand, but that could change. The Panthers are returning 7 starters on the offensive side of the ball. That includes Kenny Pickett who threw the ball for 3098yards, 13 touchdowns, but he was picked off 9 times. It also includes A.J. Davis who carried the ball 127 times for 530 yards and 4 touchdowns.

Defensively the Panthers are bringing back 8 starters. Now, what is very impressive with that fact is the Panthers had the 12th ranked defense against the run in the nation. The Panthers even ranked 34th in the nation when it came to protecting against the pass. Those could definitely help the Panthers out in this game.

The Austin Peay club would like to look more impressive than what they did in the opening game. The difference, though, is the fact the Panthers have a better offense and the defense for Pittsburgh is among the best in the nation. Look for the Pitt defense to shut down the Governors offense, but alos play better offensively as well. Final Score Prediction, Pitt Panthers win 39-6.
