Pitt Coach Pat Narduzzi Discusses UNC Matchup

Posted Sep 22, 2016
Pat Narduzzi's been using freshman Kaezon Pugh (6-foot-1, 220 pounds) to mimic Elijah Hood (6-foot, 200 pounds) in practice. "If you make (Hood) bounce it, he's got breakaway speed," Narduzzi said. "He's a very good football player. We struggled to contain the rush game last year, and now you've got to worry about the pass as well as stopping him in the run game." (Penn Live)
