1. Can Chad Voytik lead the offense to more success through the air?

This will be the defining factor of the Pittsburgh offense in 2015. This will also separate whether the Panthers can be among the upper echelon of teams in the ACC or if they are merely in the middle of the pack once again. Voytik is a relatively mobile quarterback, but will most likely do most of his work from the pocket.

I do not love his arm strength and I think he can be a little wild at times, but he is definitely someone who can be good enough to get Pittsburgh where they want to go. The question mentioned from the last slide was if he can do enough to keep the defense honest and prevent them from stacking the box against Conner. I definitely think that is a distinct possibility.

In the spring game, people will get to see how good the connection from Voytik to Boyd looks and how the other receivers not named Boyd step up. This will show how comfortable they look in play action as well, which is sure to be a big part of their offense.
