@ChrisDokish Been the best transfer class in Pitt history.

Holstein was returning as a potential young star, but another potential young star, Heintschel, replaced him. What if Heintschel is now replaced with Dailey, and he becomes a young, potential star? And then this just keeps happening until the end of time?

Plenty of comments from Pat Narduzzi today about Pitt’s QBs situation worth examining: “Holden (Geriner’s) had a shot. We need 60 minutes. It’s a 60-minute game. We don’t need 30 minutes, we need 60 minutes of your best football.” “We’ll have a shorter rope this week.”

All eyes on Boston College. 🫡 #H2P

Braylan Lovelace has actually been the fourth most productive linebacker for Pitt so far this season. Sanford and Ward have been good additions.
