Pitt offensive line among most experienced in the nation

It's easy for Pitt fans to see that the Panthers return a pretty experienced offensive line. But Phil Steele crunched some numbers recently and, the result? Pitt has the 12th most experienced line in terms of returning 'starts' in the country.

Pitt's returning lineman have a combined 99 starts among them and that's second-most in the ACC behind only North Carolina. Leading the way are tackle Adam Bisnowaty and guard Dorian Johnson, who have a combined 59 starts.

Truthfully, it can be argued that the Panthers bring back even more experience than that. In addition to all of those starts coming back, the team also returns redshirt junior Jaryd Jones-Smith.
