Pitt outside linebacker Shane Murray will miss the remainder of the season because of a torn ACL in his right knee. Murray will have surgery next Tuesday.

Murray entered the season as the starter but injured the knee during the preseason and missed the first three games. He appeared in the Panthers fourth game against Syracuse but played only a few snaps and did not play the next game against South Florida because the knee had regressed.

He then was re-examined by a doctor yesterday and underwent a second MRI which revealed the torn ligament.
