PITTSBURGH — It was another hot morning on the South Side, but that didn’t stop Pitt from padding up for the first time this summer and raising the intensity level again.
There were six periods available to the media on Tuesday, with one live session toward the end, but unfortunately, it wasn’t able to be filmed. So, you’ll have to take my word that the defense was flying around again, especially on the backend.
Pat Narduzzi and the coaching staff hyped up the live session since the offense and defense were able to actually hit each other for the first time this summer, and it didn’t disappoint.

I don’t think we’ll be as bad as last year I mean that’s nearly impossible but we lost… Read more »
