4. Clelin Ferrell has a field day

You want to look for a guy who’s going to have a big day? I think that man is Christian Wilkins.

The talented defensive end is just stronger and more athletic than any offensive tackle Pitt has on its roster.

Considering the Panthers are going to have to throw the ball a lot to have a chance against Clemson- something they don’t do superbly- I believe we’ll see Clelin Ferrell have a big day. Perhaps a couple of sacks. Maybe even a forced fumble.

Look for Ferrell to get in the backfield and create some pressure in that Pitt passing game.
