Crisan: Relax, folks, Pitt doesn't need to target Jurkovec out of the transfer portal

I can 100% understand why Phil Jurkovec would be an attractive commodity to Pitt fans.

But, I also don't see the logistics of that fantasy playing out in the way that many of others might.

The Pittsburgh native and Pine-Richland graduate is looking for a new home, after entering the transfer portal on Friday as a graduate student.

Jurkovec spent the last three seasons as the starting quarterback at Boston College, passing for 5,183 yards with a 35:17 touchdown-to-interception ratio on a 59% completion rate. He played in 24 games, but only played in eight this season after sustaining knee and rib injuries.
