-- Pitt was inside for practice today. They were inside last Tuesday as well. There's no rain or anything, so that might be the weekly plan.

-- Pitt was wearing blue helmets today, suggesting they will be wearing blue helmets on Saturday. What's the guess Blue-White-Blue, or Blue-White-White? Or even... Blue-White-Gold? From my understanding the team likes the white pants more than the gold. So I could see it being white pants.

-- So Kirk Christodoulou was wearing a walking boot on his kicking foot today. I am expecting him to play on Saturday, but that's a thing to watch I suppose.

-- Once practice started for real, the kickers and punters went to the outdoor fields for work. Not sure how the weather will be on Saturday, but the coaches want them to have extra work outside in case it rains.

-- During returns: Paris Ford and Rara Araujo-Lopes were working as punt returners. Maurice Ffrench and Shock Jacques-Louis were catching kickoffs. Furthermore, Shocky seems healthy. He wasn't 100% last week from my understanding.

-- Practice during the week is different than training camp, because many of the redshirts are in different numbers as scout team guys. So you can't follow where everyone is all the time like you normally would. So Nick Patti was in number 11 instead of his usual #4 to mirror Nathan Elliott's jersey number.

-- Kenny Pickett was wearing a knee brace, in case you were wondering.
