What Happened

No. 25 Pittsburgh will turn to Holden Geriner at quarterback Saturday, Oct. 10, when the unbeaten Panthers host North Carolina in an ACC game at Acrisure Stadium. Geriner is listed first on Pittsburgh’s Week 6 depth chart, with Corey Dailey behind him. The report does not explain why Geriner moved into the starting spot or whether the change extends beyond North Carolina. Pittsburgh is 5-0 overall and 2-0 in the ACC. North Carolina is 2-2 and 0-1 in the ACC after losses to Clemson and Notre Dame. Pitt has wide receiver Malik Knight available, while North Carolina defensive lineman Jaylen Harvey is doubtful, according to On3 reporter Brendan Howe. Harvey’s final status remains unsettled, but his absence would remove one of the defenders expected to pressure Geriner.
