It\u2019s Thursday, so you know what that means… time for the blog that gives you the internet\u2019s most ridiculous college football preview series- it\u2019s #FakeNunes time.<\/p>\n
Now onto this week\u2019s opponent<\/p>\n
Opponent: Pittsburgh Panthers<\/p>\n
Students: 35,528 students who will put fries on everything<\/p>\n
The 2026 Fake Nunes Statistical Index (#FNSI)<\/p>\n
We continue to look to innovate our analytics model so we here\u2019s what the lab cooked up for this season.<\/p>\n
The FNSI staff won\u2019t give up on their quest to bring back more tradition into today\u2019s college game. Let\u2019s see what they\u2019ve got for this one<\/p>\n
What do you give someone that you are aquaintances with and not really know what gift to give them? A nondescript gift card that they can use everywhere\u2026and since you can\u2019t display a gift card well, we\u2019ll put in the middle of a desk clock.<\/p>\n
In our quest to be New York and New Jersey\u2019s College Team, we\u2019ll once again compare players from the Garden State.<\/p>\n
Pitt has three players from New Jersey and one really only played high school ball there, so it\u2019s less than the nine that Fran Brown has on his roster.<\/p>\n
The time in the preview where the FNSI staff decides to drop some science and kick a bit of knowledge to help our loyal readers win a trivia night.<\/p>\n
Marvin Harrison vs Larry Fitzgerald<\/p>\n
Two Hall of Fame wide receivers, but only one\u2026..(Ed. Note: Yeah that FNSI staff member has been asked to take some time off\u2026.let\u2019s just call it)<\/p>\n
A new comparison tool this year. FNSI staff believe that the number of Dunkin\u2019s locations in the school\u2019s city can impact performance. Pittsburgh has 16 locations, but it\u2019s just a bit short of the 19 in Syracuse.<\/p>\n
Fran didn\u2019t wear a hat last week. We\u2019re not saying that\u2019s why the Orange threw the game away but we\u2019re also not not saying it.<\/p>\n
The Official #FakeNunes Game Prediction<\/p>\n
Hey did you know that Syracuse hasn\u2019t won a game in Pittsburgh since Troy Nunes was quarterback. Well the Nunes Curse continues another season. The Orange have two special teams wiped out by penalties, have a punt blocked out of the end zone and somehow give up a receiving touchdown to Mason Heinstchel.<\/p>\n
