Thanks, JR, and thanks everyone for their questions today. I’ll be in Atlanta for the game, which I’m very much looking forward to. Three years in a row of that open-air press box view is tough to beat. Plus, you don’t get many direct flights in ACC play, so that’ll be nice.

While I don’t feel overly confident in it, give me Pitt to win, 31-23. I think Sims is able to cause some problem with his legs. But Kenny Pickett is better than he’s been his last two trips to Bobby Dodd Stadium. That veteran presence and willingness to take what Georgia Tech will give him will be the difference. Also, put me down for two forced turnovers by Pitt’s front seven. As dangerous as Sims is, we’ve seen Pitt’s ability to generate strip sacks. Calijah Kancey's been playing well. But he's due for a showcase game.

Good stuff as always, folks. Join me here next week, and be sure to listen to our podcast, “Off Script,” on the North Shore Drive network. Every Tuesday I chat with Craig Meyer about the Panthers and so much more. This week we took a wider look at the ACC.
