Experience, maturity pushing Pitt's O-line to adjust faster

Pitt's offensive line was one of the bigger questions about the team coming out of training camp. When looking at how excited the coaches were to have back Kenny Pickett, Vincent Davis, Jordan Addison, Lucas Krull and to have newer young players like Israel Abanikanda, Jaylon Barden, and Gavin Bartholomew make headway.

But the offensive line operating without Jimmy Morrissey, who was drafted by the Raiders, had to come together. Fortunately, offensive line coach Dave Borbely, entering his fourth year coaching the group, has several experienced players for his starting five linemen.
