ESPN writers named Bollinger as Pitt's top assistant.
Pitt -- Brooks Bollinger, quarterbacks. The first-year college coach stands out here for his work with fifth-year Panthers quarterback Tino Sunseri, who came into the season much-maligned and didn't do much in the first two weeks to convince anyone things would change. Since then? Pitt is 6-4, with Sunseri's only other pick coming in a Week 3 rout of Virginia Tech. He has gone 270 passes without another interception, the nation's longest active streak, and he has 19 touchdowns and just two picks on the season. The Panthers are tied for the nation lead in fewest turnovers, with just eight, and Sunseri looks much more comfortable back running a pro-style attack.
