Second wide receiver still not emerging for Pitt football

After three games for this year's Pitt football team, one aspect looks alarmingly similar to last season's squad - the lack of a second wide receiver to go along with future NFLer Tyler Boyd.

In 2014, converted tight end Manasseh Garner won the starting job. Despite lots of potential, however, Garner was largely ineffective, catching only 17 passes all season for a meager 201 yards. The rest of the Panthers' wide receivers added only 34 receptions.

It's still early, but 2015 looks like more of the same. No. 2 receiver playing alongside Boyd, Dontez Ford, has only three catches on the year - and that actually leads the way among the Panthers' other wideouts.
