Quarterback Ben DiNucci was replaced by true freshman backup Kenny Pickett in Pitt’s loss to NC State this weekend. But despite some miscommunication between DiNucci and head coach Pat Narduzzi, DiNucci will remain the team’s starting quarterback this weekend against Duke.
That was revealed in the depth chart released on Monday and Narduzzi said as much during his press conference this week.
It will be interesting to see if he holds that job throughout the rest of the year. The decision to replace him with Pickett seems just as odd a few days after the decision and you have to wonder if there could be a rotation still coming.
