PITTSBURGH—Pitt sophomore center Jimmy Morrissey underwent ankle surgery on Monday and will miss the balance of the season, Coach Pat Narduzzi announced today.
The Panthers' starting center in 23 consecutive games, Morrissey was injured in the waning moments of Saturday's 34-13 win at Wake Forest.
"Jimmy has been tremendous for us this year, both as a player and a leader," Narduzzi said. "We all share his disappointment, but I know this will only be a temporary setback for him. Jimmy will be back next year better than ever. In the meantime, I know he will continue to do all he can to help our offensive line perform at the same high level. That's the type of person and teammate he is."
No. 24/25 Pitt (7-4, 6-1 ACC) will play its regular-season finale at Miami (6-5, 3-4) this Saturday, Nov. 24. The game will be nationally televised by ESPN and kick off at 3:30 p.m.
The Panthers will then face No. 2 Clemson (11-0, 8-0) in the Dr Pepper ACC Football Championship Game on Dec. 1 (ABC national telecast at 8 p.m.).
