Pitt secondary draws praise from head coach Pat Narduzzi

As Pitt’s football team gets a few practices under its belt in training camp, there’s been a little more focus on some individual positions.

This week, head coach Pat Narduzzi addressed one of the problem areas for the Panthers - the secondary.

Pitt’s secondary, putting it mildly, has not been real good the last couple of seasons. The unit has been repeatedly burned for big yardage plays and finished near the bottom of the FBS each year. Now, to be fair, the pass defense did improve last year as the season went along. The Panthers did not allow a 250-yard passer in the last four games and did not allow a 300-yard passer in the final six contests.
