Pitt is settled at quarterback with Nathan Peterman returning as the team's starter. However, one spot that is still up for grabs is the backup job.
Currently, Manny Stocker and Ben DiNucci seem to be the leading candidates there over true freshman Tom MacVittie, per head coach Pat Narduzzi. And of those two, Stocker holds a slight edge.
"Right now, if I had to guess I would say Manny [Stocker] is a little bit ahead of [Ben] DiNucci right now, but they've been neck and neck. And then [Thomas] MacVittie has shown some good things out there as well, so there's some competition at that spot.
