Pitt quarterback Kenny Pickett deserves start against Miami
Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi declined to name a starter at quarterback for Friday’s game against Miami. Instead, he said that practice this week would probably decide things between Kenny Pickett and Ben DiNucci.
But at this point in the season, there’s only one reasonable decision and that’s to play Pickett.
That’s no real knock on DiNucci. As I’ve said all year, I don’t think he’s Pitt’s long-term option at the position. But despite not being a great passer, DiNucci has at times done a very admirable job in keeping the team in position to win games. There’s no doubt that he’s done some good things for the team.
