I said it before and I say it again, don't underestimate the Talent Of Pitt Defensive Tackle Taleni....Just A Hunch!
Excerpt:
“The leadership we had last year was pretty strong,” Narduzzi said in his remarks to preview spring ball. “That’ll probably be the biggest role you have to fill is those guys.” Not just on the field, but off of it, too. As far as the intangibles, Narduzzi was hesitant to single out anyone this early in the process of a new campaign, but did mention fifth-year senior defensive tackle Jeremiah Taleni, once a seldom-used lineman from Hawaii who came on strong late last season. He also said he expects those qualities to come from two positions, quarterback and middle linebacker, the loudest voices on each side of the ball. One of those spots is led by a program stalwart in senior linebacker Quintin Wirginis, poised to take over as the full-time starter inside after the departure Matt Galambos, another former player Narduzzi could clearly picture Wednesday in the front row. The other position that traditionally produces one of the leaders of any football team, at any level, is at quarterback. That’s where Pitt could see a newcomer join the fray and accept plenty of responsibility from the get-go, as Southern California transfer Max Browne is already “fitting in great,” per Narduzzi.
