If you are wondering, Pitt is 1-1 after a bye week under Head Coach Pat Narduzzi. A win at Virginia Tech in 2015 and then a loss last year on a Thursday night game — also against Virginia Tech.
As usual after a bye, a big thing is players getting a chance for a little rest and recuperation. And that is mostly the case for Pitt.
The defense, at least has players coming back.
Cornerback Avonte Maddox, defensive end Dewayne Hendrix and defensive tackle Keyshon Camp are expected to dress, if not play.
