PITTSBURGH – Walking around on the field pregame told us a little bit about what we would see Saturday, but it didn’t tell the entire story.
Pitt graciously allows the media to head to the field for pregame warm-ups, a rare opportunity we gladly take advantage of (we only get to do that at certain road stops). We saw starting linebacker Wade Woodaz in a warmup suit and his jersey, and it was obvious from his limp he wasn’t going to play.
Offensive line coach Matt Luke, like defensive line coaches Nick Eason and Chris Rumph, nervously walked laps around the field, his brow furrowed.
