Australia 42-8 and 29-9 in their first two Bledisloe encounters in A

Entering his second season at Pitt, Pat Narduzzi isnt sure exactly who quarterback Nate Peterman is going to throw the ball to, or how often.Who knows? Maybe never. Thats not a dig on the options wide receiver since Tyler Boyd headed to the NFL but a testament to the depth at running back, one boosted by the return of 2014 ACC Player of the Year James Conner, who is back after a bout with cancer.Doctors cleared Conner in June after six months of treatment, providing the Panthers with an emotional boost as well as what could be an embarrassment of riches in the backfield. Qadree Ollison earned ACC Offensive Freshman of the Year last fall while filling in for Conner. Darrin Hall is back, too. So is safety Jordan Whitehead, who averaged 10.2 yards a carry during occasional forays into the offensive huddle.Theres going to be times where you see two or three tailbacks out there, maybe four, who knows? Narduzzi said.Thatd be fine with Conner, who worked out alongside his teammates despite draining chemotherapy sessions. Given the success the youngster behind him had last year, Conner doesnt want to stand out so much as fit in.With all of us out there on the field, its going to do some damage, he said.The Panthers began the Narduzzi era with a promising 8-5 mark last fall. Enthusiasm surrounding the program is rising. There will be plenty of chances to make noise in Year Two thanks to a schedule that includes the renewal of an old rivalry when Penn State visits in September and a visit to Clemson in early November.This is exactly what Narduzzi had in mind when he took over for Paul Chryst more than 18 months ago. A head coach for the first time in his career, hes settled into the job. So, it seems, have the Panthers.Im a little grayer, Ive got a little less hair, Narduzzi said. Our kids know what theyre doing. Theres more recall in what were doing. They could go out there and really run the practice themselves. They know the offense, they know the defense, and they know the tempo we want.Basically: fast.Some things to look for as Pitt tries to continue its trend northward in the crowded ACC Coastal Division.KEY GAMESHow about Penn State, Penn State and Penn State? The Panthers and the Nittany Lions renew their in-state rivalry after a 15-year hiatus when Penn State visits Heinz Field on Sept. 10. Though both sides will try to downplay the importance, a win would give Pitt a serious boost both in the win column and recruiting.FOR STARTERSThe Panthers open the season on Sept. 3 at home against Villanova. The perennial FCS power is hardly a pushover. The Wildcats are a tough out. Each of their last three openers against FBS opponents has been decided by 10 points or less.PREDICTIONPitts ability to reach improve on 2015 will depend on how quickly the offense gets going under new coordinator Matt Canada and if the defense can continue to make strides after an impressive start under Narduzzis watch last fall. The Panthers biggest issue in recent years has been consistency. Too often they will back up impressive wins with puzzling losses. Given the questions surrounding the passing game, lets call it more of the same with a 7-5 finish likely as Pitt continues to endure the growing pains that Narduzzi believes will disappear as time goes by. Dawson Knox Jersey . LOUIS -- Alexander Steen scored a power-play goal with 59. Andre Reed Youth Jersey . Kiriasis and brakeman Franziska Fritz finished two runs in one minute 55.41 seconds -- a mere 0.01 seconds ahead of Meyers and Lolo Jones, who likely bolstered her Olympic hopes by helping give USA-1 a huge push in the second heat. http://www.shoptheofficialbills.com/Elite-Cody-Ford-Bills-Jersey/ . But by the time the game started, the Toronto Raptors forward felt even worse. And, for three quarters, it showed as Gay shot a woeful three-for-13 from the field. O. J.

Thurman Thomas Youth Jersey . -- Claudio Bieler hadnt scored since early September, and not from the run of play since mid-July.
