Pitt Head Coach Pat Narduzzi on Nippert Stadium Crowd: 'I Don't Remember It Being That Loud'

CINCINNATI — Pittsburgh head coach Pat Narduzzi isn't worried about his offense succumbing to crowd noise on Saturday. The Panthers run a hurry-up system that may not get affected like a traditional full-play clock offense.

The system worked to the tune of 55 points at home in Week 1, but Nippert Stadium is a different animal.

"Not really," Narduzzi said to the media this week. "It really doesn't matter, we do it all the time, we got crowd noise out there during practice every day. It's loud, it doesn't bother us at all. And we expect Nippert to be loud as well so we practiced loud. I don't know how loud it'll be down on the field, but I imagine we were louder out there today than it'll be there. I don't remember it being that loud but I was in the press box back in the day."

The home-field advantage has helped UC to an 87-28 record when playing at Nippert since the start of the 2000 season. UC fans will have to knock the Pitt offense off tempo after posting 85 plays last week.

Cincinnati is a 43% underdog on ESPN's Matchup Predictor.
