Another article on finding Pitt’s #2 QB. Both are seeing a different game, even in practices.
“We’ve been working hard to get the playbook down over the summer,” Stull said. “We’re learning something new all the time, but we’ll continue to work hard during training camp. And we’ll see what happens. It should be a good competition, and we both should get better.”
Murray marvels at the increased speed of the college game.
“When you go full with the linebackers and linemen, the speed is amazing,” Murray said. “You have to get rid of the ball, and you have to have hot reads and things like that. You get used to it, but you can’t just automatically pick it up. Gradually, we’re picking things up.”
Another story points out how the secondary remains loaded with guys from Aliquippa. Not just Lay and Revis, but add Freshman Tommie Campbell to the mix. Campbell is just looking for a way into the game any way he can.
Campbell said moving into Pitt’s secondary at either safety position – or even as a corner – would be great, but he’ll do whatever he has to do to get on the field. Expect him to return some kicks as well.
“I think I bring size and smartness to my position and being at the right place at the right time,” Campbell said. “I know all the coverages and everything, and Coach (Dan) Short got me ready to play at this level.”
Campbell has very good speed, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see him get in the mix for punt and/or kick returns. After last year the competition for that should be wide open.
