Not a transcript, but the official Pitt release of quotes from Coach Walt Harris after the second day of practice (PDF version). What can be gleaned from them?
Well, it looks like freshman QB Darrell Strong has a live arm that has been wowing the media, but Harris keeps dousing their ardor. On a larger point, it suggests that Harris would never want to start a freshman QB. He feels there is too much to learn and absorb in his system to ever consider starting one. It’s probably true for Harris, and it may be what keep him from getting a top blue chip QB recruit until he sends one to the NFL in the first or second round. I see that as yet another reason why Harris will want Palko to win the starter’s job.
Fullback Tim Murphy will see a good amount of time at the tailback position because of the loss of Walker because of academics. This suggests that Harris doesn’t see Walker making up the academic problems in time for the season.
