For much of the season, Pitt's running game has been in flux.
James Conner suffered a season-ending injury in the team's opener. Darrin Hall and Qadree Ollison both picked up starts in his absence, but Hall missed the team's last game against Virginia Tech with a leg injury himself. Last year's backup Chris James has battled a concussion sustained earlier in the season and has missed time. Now, though, it appears like someone has finally taken hold of the job.
Ollison, who started the last game, has been the team's best rusher all year. This week when the official depth chart was released, he sat atop it without the familiar 'OR' designation used when players are battling for a spot.
