00:00Now, we might have the perfect bowl game of the bowl season here, Joe.
00:02This is going to take place tomorrow morning.
00:04Yes, Saturday morning, 11 a.m.
00:06It's Pittsburgh and it's East Carolina.
00:08This line opened up as a favorite towards Pittsburgh, Joe.
00:10Anywhere around six is that opening number.
00:12We're now seeing double digits across the board.
00:14Most outlets chiming in at 10.5 in the total, which that look-ahead number was 61.5.
00:19We're now seeing 52.5s in the marketplace.
00:22The Go Bowling Military Bowl, Pittsburgh and ECU.
00:27What do you got, Joe, on the spread line here?
00:28Well, the big story here is who East Carolina is not going to have.
00:34And you got to be on the lookout in these bowl games for this, right?
00:37East Carolina will not have its starting quarterback, Caten Hauser.
00:40He's in the transfer portal.
00:42Already said he's not playing.
00:44Pitt's going to be without their second leading rusher and second leading tackler on defense.
00:49Not to mention both of East Carolina's coordinators, the defensive and offensive coordinator, have left for new jobs.
00:57So, we've got a lot of newness on the East Carolina side.
01:01So, it's not a shock that we've seen the money and the line move towards Pittsburgh here.
01:06But what I do find interesting is the total, Donnie, because as much as Darduzzi is known as a defensive guy, this guy has given up more points.
01:1694, 72, 52, and 64 points are the last four bowl games that Pitt has played in, including a, what, triple, quadruple overtime game last year.
01:27So, I would be careful with the total here.
01:30Yes, he's known as a defensive head coach.
01:33But the defense don't show up in bowl games for Narduzzi.
