Though senior quarterback Rod Rutherford is expected to play in Pittsburgh’s opener Saturday against Kent State, he won’t be allowed to start because a dispute he was involved in violated team rules.
Coach Walt Harris said Rutherford will also be disciplined in other ways, but he wouldn’t give specific.
“From the information we have, he has engaged in behavior that is contrary to those expectations, our team rules and the responsibilities he assumes as a leader,” Harris said.
So, he won’t play the first series? Quarter? Half?
Take the points and Kent St. Last I saw, the line was Pitt -29. Wonder how much it moved after this announcement.
