This will be the Bearcats’ opening game in the Big East. Pitt has a 4-0 record against Cinci. Last time they played was in 1981. So naturally this game is ripe to be given a trophy and deemed a rivalry. Whatever.
Pitt has its game notes available (PDF). The depth chart shows nobody lost their starting job (or #2 position on the chart) despite hints of change. Brian Bennett is out with an injury suffered in the Rutgers game. J.J. Horne is the official starter with Adam Gunn as the back-up.
Tyler Palko needs 64 more yards to pass John Ryan and move to 6th on Pitt’s all time passing leaders.
Disturbing stat. Pitt has yet to recover a fumble in 5 games (3 chances).
