Pat Narduzzi says Cal is ‘a talented football team’

Pittsburgh‘s Head Coach Pat Narduzzi spoke to the media this week about how he’s preparing to play Cal.

What comes to mind when you’re preparing for Cal?

Cal, another talented football team we get to play. Justin Wilcox, great coach. Defensive-minded head coach, team plays with an attitude and toughness. You can see that on the video.

I think they've got a ton of speed. When I think of their speed, I think of their running backs, their backs overall. Their running backs and quarterbacks are talented.

And I look at their defensive backs and linebackers, just their skill guys are maybe as good of skill guys we've seen this year so far. That will be a challenge for us.

They're third in the country in turnover margin. And third in the country, they're being opportunistic on defensive. They're making a lot of plays on defense. They have 14 interceptions on the year. They're making plays. They got great ball skills on the back end as well. The linebackers got a few of those as well. Really good football team that has been tested.
