Pitt names Nathan Peterman as starting quarterback

Nate Peterman will be the University of Pittsburgh’s starting quarterback moving forward, football coach Pat Narduzzi said on the ACC coaches teleconference today.

This wasn't a surprise to anyone even remotely familiar with the situation. Despite head coach Pat Narduzzi not declaring Peterman the guy after last weekend's game, it was pretty obvious that was the direction things were headed.

Incumbent starter Chad Voytik played only two series against Akron the week before and two series against Iowa, despite the fact that Peterman tossed two early interceptions against the Hawkeyes. Peterman was also the starter for the Panthers' contest against Iowa.
