The Pitt offense has had its ups and downs this year. The passing game has generally been pretty good but has struggled at times. The field goal misses on special teams have been well documented, too. But without a shadow of a doubt, it’s the running game that has failed to provide enough of a boost.
Heading into the season, there were question marks about the running backs and that’s because, well, last year they were not great, either. In 2019, A.J. Davis led the group with only 530 yards. But if you go beyond the totals, the picture wasn’t quite as bleak as it seemed.
