With two weeks of training camp in the books, the Pitt football team only has one more week before it has to start preparing for the season opener on September 3rd vs. Villanova. Pat Narduzzi and his staff have to slowly start changing their mindset from camp evaluation to working on a specific game plan.
At the start of camp, some of the questions were: who would start at running back, who’d take Tyler Boyd’s spot, would Damar Hamlin earn a starting spot, would any of the young linebackers earn playing time? Most of these pre-camp questions have been answered.
As we stand 12 days away from the opener, here’s my take on where things stand with the Pitt depth chart.
