Submit your Pitt football question

Thanks for participating in the Pitt football Q&A.

Keep the questions rolling in and I will answer them every day throughout the season and through whatever bowl game Pitt goes to and through signing day in February.

You can follow the Panthers daily here as well as our Pitt football blog.

You can also view my new daily video reports on Pitt football at PG-Plus. Membership in that site is only $3.99 per month or $36 per year.

One other thing -- my weekly live Pitt chats will take place Thursday at noon.




Q: Do you think the Panthers are getting tired? I've noticed that Aston Gibbs has played 265 of the 285 minutes since league play has begun and he his struggling with his shooting. Does Coach Dixon need to use his bench more the remaineder of the season?

FITTIPALDO: Jamie Dixon mentioned after the Seton Hall game that he should have played his reserves more minutes. I think that is something the coaching staff looked at the past few days. However, I'm not sure if there are many good options. Travon Woodall has not played well. Chase Adams has barely gotten off the bench in Big East play. Maybe Adams starts to play more, but there was a reason he wasn't playing to beign with. I'm looking forward to the St. John's game to see what changes are forthcoming.
