Beyond the Pitt secondary and its inability to cover Rutgers' receivers, the Panthers have several other immediate issues to address. The biggest is at quarterback where the status of Bill Stull (concussion and stinger) for the Notre Dame game is very much in question. Stull was knocked out of the game Saturday -- and taken off on a stretcher -- and spent the night at UPMC Presbyterian Hospital. Medical tests on his head and neck returned normal and he was released from the hospital yesterday morning but he will have some follow-up evaluations this week. He is listed as questionable against Notre Dame. "We are incredibly relieved and grateful that Billy is OK and out of the hospital," Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt said in a statement released by the athletic department. If Stull cannot play Saturday, sophomore Pat Bostick will have to start.

You gotta feel for this kid. Best wishes towards coming back healthy. Some things are more important than football.

Totally agree. I would keep him out of the ND game. Winning the Big East should be Pitt's main objective.

This is too bad...

Stull is a decent QB.

Good luck to him and his family and team mates..

Good luck to him. Hopefully he has a speedy recovery.

Have to agree. I go to Pitt, and Bostick is not the answer to be a BACKUP D-I QB, but there is no reason to risk the potential long term health of a young guy like this. Hard injury to watch. Best of luck to him.
