BLACKSBURG, Va. — Pitt is now off to the worst start of the Pat Narduzzi era, dropping to 1-4 after a brutal loss to Virginia Tech Saturday night, and Narduzzi addressed the media following the loss.
He — once again — defended Phil Jurkovec’s play at quarterback, talked about how Pitt will need to self-scout to figure out what ails the spiraling team and figure out how to fix those issues before Louisville comes to town on Oct. 30.

The coach made excuses for having 8 penalties. Did not take any responsibility for them. Don’t expect those to get any better.
Narduzzi needs a check up from the neck up!!

because duzz can’t recruit.
I would say they have been lying thru their teeth about the recruiting and possibly the coaching has gotten comfortable and slacked off.

Already have…Nebraska TE last week.
