Article Pitt freshmen make debuts in key situations

[Chris Peak]

Pitt used five freshmen in Saturday's game - and they didn't just roll the young kids out there in garbage time. Rather, the staff used the first-year players in some key spots.

2 true freshman CBs playing in the the first game is a scary thought. The scary part is they did not come in in mop up duty but with the game on the line.

On a positive note....I am glad they got some experience

I'm more disappointed that Clark didn't have an impact than I am happy to see Sear making a contribution. I was more disappointed that Moss was non-factor than I was happy for Davis. Maybe they were saving Clark and Moss for PSU? I really liked Moss last season and Clark seems perfectly suited for this offense. Both seem like possible big-play producers. I've read where AJ has been explosive in camp, so maybe he just beat out Moss.

The CB's have been getting press all summer which is great. I thought our veteran CB's looked good yesterday. Where we need immediate help is at DE and OLB. Our DL looked like the mid 80's Steelers when they had Darryl Sims and Aaron Jones.

Moss is likely injured. Hopefully back soon.

When was there garbage time?

When was there garbage time?

either when the ball was just touching Garner's hands on the interception in OT or the freshman tradition of cleaning up Ollison's puke can.

Thanks for this article. Interesting that Sear got time and a catch given the two new rather celebrated tight ends also made debuts

Moss is still getting healthy.

We have nothing to evaluate Clark by other than his recruiting rankings yet, unless you want to take the YSU game film and focus on his blocking and execution, he was out there a lot of the game so he must be impressing the people that matter.
