When last we saw the Pitt football team in game action, they were trying to contain mobile quarterback Keenan Reynolds in an ugly bowl loss to Navy. They'll begin that same way in working to keep up with Villanova's quarterback Zach Bednarczyk.
After redshirting as a true freshman in 2014, he got his first bit of playing time last year as the team battled through injuries. Bednarcyzk is only a sophomore, but proved he's a force to be reckoned with last season in winning the CAA's Co-Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. He still has work to do as a passer, but he's a scrambling quarterback that requires plenty of attention.
