PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) – Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi said after the game on Thursday night he thought quarterback Eli Holstein would be fine. He provided his own breaking news during his radio show on Thursday.
“Eli Holstein is ready to go and got cleared today,” Narduzzi said with host Larry Richert. “Eli Holstein is ready to roll. That’s excellent news.”
Holstein was injured in the fourth quarter of the Syracuse game as he was running towards the sidelines, a Syracuse defender landed on him while making the tackle. Holstein went to the injury tent and then to the locker room.
The redshirt freshman is top five in the ACC in several categories. He’s completed 64% of his passes for 1,808 yards, 17 touchdowns and five interceptions.
It’s likely the only road game against a ranked team as Pitt is at SMU Saturday at 8p with Panthers pregame starting at 5p on 93.7 The Fan Saturday.
