Looking Back Then To Saturday

Coach Wannstedt’s weekly press conference seemed like a more upbeat affair than in previous weeks. The only real injury is a twisted knee for Junior Defensive Lineman Charles Sallet. He’s day-to-day.

He talked a bit about LaRod Stephens-Howling as the change of pace, exciting back who should get more touches. At the same time he pointed out that Stephens-Howling has a skill at avoiding taking direct shots while running, and how good running backs with long careers have that ability. I was a little bothered that he seems to think that Rashad Jennings and Ray Kirkley are that similar in running styles. I don’t see that at all, but it unfortunately may explain why Kirkley keeps getting run up the middle lately.

There was praise for the offensive line, especially the tackles. He says he still wants to keep getting more players in to the game including John Bachman, Marcel Pestano, Darrell Strong and Bill Stull.

On the subject of Syracuse, he called them a veteran team.

The Pitt game notes (PDF) are available regarding the Syracuse game. Oddly in the game notes, there is no mention of the fact that it is homecoming and that at halftime they will be honoring new College Football Hall of Fame inductee Mark May and the 1980 Pitt football team. I’m guessing there might be a few of his teammates on hand.
