Pitt Reveals Starting Lineup vs. Miami

Reid is back and will have his fair share of touches, but Ja'Kyrian Turner — coming off the best game of his young career — has earned the start. Carretta is also back, but as of now, the Panthers have Kendall Stanley remaining in the lineup at left guard.

Cruce Brookins, who returned to the lineup last week in the upset win vs. Georgia Tech, is not listed in the starting lineup but should receive a whole bunch of snaps.

It's also Senior Day at Acrisure Stadium, and there is a large group of senior leaders who are playing their final game for the Panthers.

"Coaching this entire team this year has been pure joy," Pat Narduzzi said this week. "Like I said, they're just coachable. They listen to you. They get it. And every team's a little bit different. But this group is special."

"Again, it's led by those seniors. These older guys that sit in the front rows of this room are the main guys. And I think your team goes as your seniors and your leadership guys go in this room. And what happens in those locker rooms, the cohesion that that senior group has brought to this football team has been one of the best I've been around. And I've been around some pretty good ones, too."
