PITTSBURGH -- As the Pitt Panthers prepared to take on the undefeated No. 14 Louisville Cardinals, they made some adjustments to their starting lineups. 

The new quarterback, Christian Veilleux was expected, but the Panthers made changes up and down the defense and will give some new faces opportunities at the skill positions on offense. 

C'Bo Flemister is the starting running back, replacing Rodney Hammond, the top tailback on the depth chart. 

Kenny Johnson, who was just elevated to co-starter with Daejon Reynolds after starting against Virginia Tech, will make his second career start. Konata Mumpfield remained in his starting role, but Bub Means, who has started every game since he transferred to Pitt last season, was not in the lineup. 

On defense, P.J. O'Brien is back in as a starting safety. Donovan McMillon had taken over his spot against West Virginia and remained there up until this week. He'll man the backend with Javon McIntyre. 

Devin Danielson is also back in as a starter at defensive tackle alongside Deandre Jules after missing the past couple of games.
