After seeing Furman move the ball well against Pitt, and the fact that UConn has a darkhorse Heisman hopeful in QB in Dan Orlovsky, well the papers are focusing on the young secondary of Pitt. Makes sense when you have a true and redshirt freshman starting at the corners. Staying in the secondary, Safety, Malcolm Postell, who has made some solid hits and some big interceptions in the first few games gets his own puff piece as well.

Right Guard John Simonitis is listed as a starter on the Pitt depth chart, but has yet to play this year because of an ankle injury. For some reason, I don’t think he’ll be in there this week.

Coach Harris thinks Pitt is ready for the first road game of the season. I am hoping the road is the best thing for Pitt and Harris. Maybe getting a game away from Heinz Field can get the team more focused for an entire game. Something they haven’t done yet. It cost them against Nebraska. Looks like the line is up around -7.5 with UConn.
