Junior Bill Stull will be named the Panthers' starter again appears to be a formality. Stull has taken his snaps exclusively with the first-team offense, has worn a red jersey to indicate off-limits to contact in practice and has earned the respect and admiration of coaches and teammates. Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt said Stull would have been the "best-kept secret" in the Big East Conference last season. Instead, Stull took a medical redshirt, while the Panthers' passing game struggled with a pair of freshmen quarterbacks in Pat Bostick and Kevan Smith. They combined to throw almost twice as many interceptions (17) as touchdowns (nine).

Pitt will still not win their conference, and Wannstedt will be fired. At least that's what I think. Besides their skill position players, there was not much to look at last year.

If Stull would have been with the team all of last year it would have made a huge difference in the standings.

YEah it was pretty obvious last year that our backup QB's were not ready to play. Kevin Smith was just terrible until he was injured then Bostick was not ready to play at all. I mean the guy missed half of camp then he had to start, and his mechanics where awful. he need to redshirt a year. As long as Stull stays healthy Pitt could win 9 games this year.

Why do people write "I could care less." when they actually mean "I could not care less."?

And I would think Stull was a better kept secret by not playing.
