The talk is there every year that Pitt will look to utilize its tight ends more. We're only two games into the season and while it's premature to say that the team is greatly utilizing the tight ends, the Panthers' combination of J.P. Holtz and Scott Orndoff is already seeing some opportunities early this year.
Holtz has three catches through the first two games, and they all came against Akron as part of a 42-yard game. Of course, he also caught the big 18-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Nathan Peterman and really made his presence felt after being shut out in the opener.
