Pitt Makes More OL Changes

The Pitt Panthers are trying to overcome a slew of injuries along the offensive line.

PITTSBURGH -- The Pitt Panthers' offensive line has been a revolving door all season long as the Panthers try and deal with injuries and look for a solution to their pass protection woes and they've made some more moves ahead of a primetime kickoff against North Carolina. 

The Panthers will roll out a third different offensive line in four weeks, according to a report from Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Terrance Moore and Ryan Baer will slide into the starting lineup at center and right tackle, respectively, for the first time in their careers. Moore and Baer had been taking first-team snaps during practice this week. 

Moore has 17 games' worth of experience as a guard and center, but has primarily played on special teams and in garbage time. He faces stiff competition in a North Carolina front that is No. 38 nationally in sack percentage and linebacker Kamarion Rucker, who is tied for 13th in the country with six tackles for loss. 

Baer, a redshirt freshman, played sparingly during his first season in blue and gold. He appeared in three games, all at the tail end of the regular season.
