Today was a scrimmage, Coach Wannstedt had comments afterward (as opposed to telling everyone to f–k off?).

On the scrimmage:

We ran the ball okay today. It was a good day. We wanted to take advantage and take a good look at the running backs today and we did that. I thought the whole group played well. We protected the ball. I think we had one penalty. So that was smooth. The only negative thing was the couple interceptions. I think there are two sides to that. Number one, we can’t turn the ball over. We can’t throw interceptions. But our secondary is playing well right now. You know, if you want to throw the ball on us, there’s a good chance we’re going to come down with it. Josh (Lay) is continuing to have an outstanding camp. He has come out everyday and really performed and made plays. But overall I’m happy with the effort. We got everybody in there. Everyone got some work. Heck, we had a nice little crowd. It was about as nice a crowd as we can get. Some ex-coaches were here. Coach (John) Majors was here. Coach (Foge) Fazio was here. Coach (Louis “Bimbo”) Cecconi was here. So we covered the last 50 years of Pitt football. (laughs)

Stull would appear to have the backup QB job (no shock). The RB position looks to be Jennings and Murphy, with Stephens as the change-of-pace. Wannstedt’s exact words, “I get excited every time we hand the ball to LaRod Stephens. He kind of gives you that feeling every time he touches the ball that he may go the distance. So I think he helped himself today.”

Tony Barnhart at the Atlanta Journal Constitution seems to think Pitt will do better than ND in the short term — and that Domer fans and alum expectations will be the bigger problem long term for Weis.

Looks like parking will be a real problem for the opening weekend. There’s this damn rib fest.
