Pitt was expected to have a standout secondary this season, and while it didn’t quite come to fruition, one of the unit’s leaders will be back next season.
PITTSBURGH — Pitt secondary/cornerbacks coach Archie Collins, tight end Jake Overman, safety Javon McIntyre and defensive end Jimmy Scott all took to the podium Wednesday afternoon on the South Side to talk about the team’s performance at SMU and how the 18th-ranked team in the College Football Playoff has responded in practice.
