on Saturday night, per an ESPN source, a week after he left Pitt's loss to UNC after taking an illegal hit.
Jurkovec's status for the game was uncertain after an injury that occurred on a second quarter play against North Carolina where he got targeted. Jurkovec missed the rest of the game and a source described Jurkovec's injury as the lower body variety, as he was both hit illegally and horse-collar tackled on the same play.
Jurkovec is a six-year senior quarterback who returned home to Pittsburgh for his final year of eligibility after stints at Notre Dame and Boston College. He's been up-and-down this season, as he'd completed 11-of-15 passes against UNC before the injury. He'd struggled against West Virginia the prior week behind a porous offensive line, finishing with three interceptions and just 81 passing yards.Jurkovec maintained the starting job through the rough patches and completed his first seven passes against UNC.
