The read
Pitt returns home at 5-3, with a 4-1 home record and a 1-2 road record. Its latest result was a 23-52 loss at Miami. The Panthers also lost at Boston College and against North Carolina. The current run follows the 35-33 win at Virginia Tech, where Mason Heintschel suffered the injury that ended his season.
Holden Geriner now leads Kade Bell’s offense under Pat Narduzzi. Geriner passed for 268 yards without an interception at Miami. Corey Dailey also played and threw a touchdown to Cam Sapp. Cataurus Hicks had 149 receiving yards against Miami and leads Pitt in receiving. Pitt’s weekly depth chart lists Geriner ahead of Dailey.
The backfield has several contributors. Damon Ferguson Jr. leads Pitt with 477 rushing yards, while Ja’Kyrian Turner and La’Vell Wright are also part of the rotation. Turner is questionable for tonight. Tyreek Robinson is doubtful, and Elijah Lagg and Max Hunt are out. The Friday availability update gives no diagnoses or return dates for those players.
