Pitt Alters OL Depth Chart for Syracuse Game
PITTSBURGH -- Another week has passed and another round of edits has been made to the Pitt Panthers' offensive line depth chart as they try to find their best five over these final three regular season games.
This week, with a road trip to Syracuse on deck, Pitt first and foremost codified in writing what had been true since Week 4 - Terrance Moore is the sole starting center, with Jake Kradel moving from co-starter to backup. But Kradel will remain the starting left guard as well. Blake Zubovic has been demoted to a backup role at that position and B.J. Williams and Jason Collier Jr. take over as co-starters at right guard.
The Panthers have dealt with a litany of injuries, some minor like those to Kradel and Zubovic, who only missed one or two games each, but some have been devastating, like those to starters Matt Goncalves and Ryan Jacoby.
Pitt's embraced some youth with Williams, Moore, Ryan Bear and others taking over starting jobs at different points throughout the season but they will try to balance a look toward the future with a desire to keep Christian Veilleux upright.
The Panthers allowed three sacks this past week against Florida State after allowing three total over the previous three games combined.
