Pitt pulled out a big win against Georgia Tech on Saturday, but also had to deal with yet another key injury. Starting cornerback Avonte Maddox was knocked out of the game and redshirt freshman, Dane Jackson, stepped in for him. Also out for the game was starting linebacker Mike Caprara, who didn't dress.
Maddox and Caprara are just the latest in a long line of starters to be injured. The team already lost starting defensive end Dewayne Hendrix for the season. Also out for the year is Elijah Zeise, who started for the team at linebacker in the opener against Villanova.
