SOUTH BEND -- The Pitt Panthers continue to suffer a some back-breaking attrition along their offensive line as they hit the back half of the 2023 schedule. 

After playing the past two weeks with the same five starting on the offensive line, the Panthers will be without starting left tackle Branson Taylor for a date with no. 14 Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana. 

Taylor likely suffered an injury during practice this past week. He played in and finished the game against Wake Forest. No reason for his absence was provided. 

During warmups, the first unit of Pitt offensive linemen featured Ryan Bear at left tackle, Jake Kradel - who played in just the second half last week - at left guard, Terrance Moore at center, B.J. Williams at right guard and Terrance Enos at right tackle. This would be Enos' first start. 

Guard Blake Zubovic was dressed and warmed up but did not warm up with the first unit. He played against Wake Forest after missing the Louisville game the week prior with an injury, but didn't appear until the second half.
