And given the multitude of injuries is Pitt even a .500 MAC team. Bad recruiting is taking its toll. Thanks coach cignetti for bringing in diffenbach
Assuming Eli does not play

It's also why we have to try and retain Coach Bell and also nurture his replacement with the same system if he does leave. One of Pat's biggest issues as a coach is he keeps changing the offensive style every few years. Should have hired a similar system coach to replace Whipple instead of flip flopping back to a pro style once again.
Cignettis offense wasn't wildly different than Whipples.
In fact it looked similar early on under Slovis.
So who is our qb for this bowl game? Are we going to see Dugger running around like a chicken with his head cut off??
The biggest issue is the lack of talent and depth he’s recruited .
Yeah
The real problem is how bad the talent level is currently
At least JD is a superior athlete. Probably fastest player other than Desmond . No excuses not to give him pt
Cignetti signed his severance by going with Jurkovec & Vellieux. Offense wasn't bad with Izzy and a serviceable Slovis. The injury to him in the Tennessee game changed the course of the season. He didn't get back to form until the last 2 games.
This. He was never the same after getting creamed in the Tenn game.
If Pitt is trying to run their program on a NIL budget of $6 to $8 million, talent is going to remain a huge problem.
I'd be surprised if we had an 8 million NIL budget, to be honest.
Kade Bell MUST be retained. He is the reason for the 7-0 start that the program had last year. His offensive approach finally brought the Pitt offense into the 21st century. The days of the "Pro-Style" offense being used are gone and need to stay that way. Bell's offense turned a Alabama backup into a start FBS QB. Who knows what would have happened if Holstein doesn't get injured?
Crazy trajectory on this kid. Went from being considered a solid 5-star as a high school sophomore to having his picture on a milk carton.
Don't know who they will play at QB, but I sure hope it isn't Holstein. Don't care if he is 100% cleared by the doctors, he needs the time off to just heal from his injuries, especially the concussions. I would love to see Dugger be given a shot but if he plays, does that blow a season of his eligibility? If it does, it is not worth it.
Playing JD will not impact his redshirt . At least put ithe n a package of plays and not just running plays
Holstein had a surgical procedure performed. Can't imagine that they will take any chances here.
Well, they have had a solid month to prepare for this game. I think it is going to be Dugger. Let's see what Cade Bell and the offensive coaches have put together. Dugger is a plus athlete, but, our line is stacked with minus athletes, which could lead to him getting maimed. I really had no interest in seeing this game, but, Dugger is going to make it fun if it's him.
Absolutely a perfect setting to go all in on Dugger! And if he can run maybe he's even a better fit for this offense, not like the walk on is any good.
Dugger right now is probably behind 2 walk in QB's and you want him to start at QB? Do want the chance to win the game or do you want to see the 5th or 6th string QB on the season's roster to start?
The dude got inured like 8 times this season .. is he not in a full cast from the narduzzi OL line?
If he comes back Pitt should be lucky.
