By all indications, James Conner will be the starter at running back for the Pitt football team in 2016. We all pretty much knew that, but backup Darrin Hall confirmed in at training camp on Thursday:
"Right now I'm fighting to get that number two spot. I'm really focusing on playing as much as I can, so I've just been going into each scrimmage making sure I do the best I can to make plays."
With that said, the other guy who wants that spot is last year's starter in Conner's absence, Qadree Ollison.
