Heralded freshman quarterback Pat Bostick unexpectedly left camp before practice even started, then, a few days later, Derek Kinder, Pitt’s star receiver and steady team leader, tore his ACL and will be out for the season.
It sure wasn’t the reassuring spark to the year Pitt fans were looking for. Message boards were flooded with depression. Possible threats loomed of alumni discontinuing their donations.
