2010 SEASON IN REVIEW

RECORD BOOKPITT HISTORY

PRO FOOTBALLTHIS IS PITT

The University of Pittsburgh has won nine national championships — the most of any Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) program in the East and the sixth best ever. Pitt’s national champion teams not only ranked as the best in the land in that given year, but in many cases were among the elite teams in college football history.

■ Under the direction of Head Coach John Majors in 1976, Pitt completed perhaps the most miraculous turnaround in college football history by rolling to a 12-0 record and claiming the school’s ninth national title. The fl awless record was a stark contrast to fi ve seasons prior, when the Panthers went 1-10. The 1976 Panthers were lauded as the 17th greatest college team of all-time by Sporting News.

■ The legendary Jock Sutherland coached Pitt to fi ve national titles during his coaching tenure. Sutherland’s 1937 unit ranked as the best team in the land with a 9-0-1 record. Among the Panthers’ vanquished opponents that year: Penn State (28-7), Notre Dame (21-6), Nebraska (13-7), Wisconsin (21-0) and West Virginia (20-0). The tie? A 0-0 deadlock with Fordham.

■ Under Glenn “Pop” Warner, Pitt won three national championships in four years. Considered one of the greatest coaches in football history, Warner directed the Panthers to titles in 1915, 1916 and 1918. During that period, Pitt won 30 straight games.

■ Perhaps Pitt’s greatest team ever didn’t win a national title. The Panthers’ 1980 team fi nished second in both major polls with an 11-1 record, its lone blemish an October loss at Florida State. Although Pitt

fi nished second in both the Associated Press and United Press International polls, The New York Times Computer Poll ranked the Panthers as the best team in the country. An amazing 12 players from that squad were selected in the NFL draft the following spring, including three fi rst-rounders.

■ Pitt has fi nished second in a major poll three times. It has ranked in the top four 10 times.

Marshall Goldberg and Coach Jock Sutherland helped Pittsburgh to national championships in 1936 and 1937.

Sports Illustrated trumpets the Panthers’ 1976 championship following a victory over Georgia (27-3) in the Sugar Bowl.

John Majors following the Jan. 1, 1977 Sugar Bowl win over Georgia.

BOWL HISTORY

ROSE BOWL • JAN. 2, 1928

Pasadena, Calif., The Rose Bowl

STANFORD 0 0 7 0 — 7PITTSBURGH 0 0 6 0 — 6

Pitt’s fi rst bowl trip resembled a poli tician’s whis tle-stop tour—wherever Pitt was at lunch time during its trek west, it practiced. The routine was simple: deboard the train around 11:15; explore the day’s town until noon; lunch at 12; walk lunch off, then practice; reboard the train. So it was that Pitt prac ticed in Dodge City, Al bu-quer que and Winslow, Arizona, on the way to Pasadena. The game had a sentimental storyline: the coach against his mentor. Panther Head Coach John B. “Jock” Sutherland had played for Stanford Coach Glenn “Pop” Warner when the latter was at Pitt. Amidst all that, the game, although close, was controlled by Stanford. Pitt grabbed a 6-0 third-quarter lead when Jim my Hagan scooped up a Cardinal fum ble and ran 20 yards for a touch down. The extra point was missed. Stanford, which made several march es deep into Pitt ter ri to ry, fi nally scored on an unusual play. On fourth-and-goal at the two, Stanford quar terback Biff Hoffman completed a pass to Bob Sims, but it was short of the goal line. Sims was hit and fumbled, but Frank Wilton picked up the loose ball and carried it in to tie the game. Hoffman’s extra point won it, 7-6. Pitt, a slight favorite entering the game, mus tered very little offense in its fi rst of four Rose Bowl games.



SOUTHERN CAL 13 13 14 7 — 47PITTSBURGH 0 0 7 7 — 14

If vintage football fi lms give you the im pres sion that the game of the 20s and 30s was run, run, and run again, think again. USC’s Trojans bombed Pitt with an all-out passing attack. The game start ed on a bright note for “Jock” Sutherland’s team when Toby Uansa rushed 68 yards on Pitt’s fi rst play. Pitt failed to score, then the walls caved in. Gaius Shaver con nect ed with Hen ry Edelson for a 55-yard touchdown. Later in the quarter, Shaver hit Ernest Pinckert for a 28-yard score, cap i tal iz-ing on a Pitt fumble. Another fumble led to USC’s third touch down, a short run which opened the score to 19-0. Two Jesses set up the Tro jans’ next score when Jesse Mortensen and Jesse Hill teamed for a 51-yard pass play. Russell Saunders helped con vert a USC in ter cep tion into a 33-0 lead with his 13-yard scoring run. Pitt fi nally broke through in the third quarter when Uansa threw a 28-yard pass to Wil li am Wallinchus. Southern Cal sand-wiched two more long touch down passes (38 and 62 yards) around a Tom Parkinson-to-Paul Collins 36-yard TD pass for Pitt to arrive at the fi nal score. In all, the Trojans scored the most points against Pitt since 1903. It would be Sutherland’s second-worst margin of defeat in his 15 seasons at Pitt; the worst would come three years later, also against USC in the Rose Bowl.

Pitt’s coach, John B. ’’Jock’’ Sutherland, would try a new ploy after two Rose Bowl losses, so he took the team to Tucson to practice for its fi rst Rose Bowl win. Instead Sutherland suffered the worst loss in his Pitt career. It was the fi rst time since 1928 that Pitt was shut out and actually lost the game; it had played four scoreless ties since a 6-0 loss to Car negie Tech. With 83,000 in at ten-dance, the Pan thers stayed close until the fourth quarter before collapsing. USC’s Homer Griffi th threw, and later caught, a touch down pass as the Trojans built a 14-0 lead through three quarters. After Irvine Warburton scored to make the score 21-0, Pitt fumbled the kickoff, and Warburton scored again shortly thereafter. A blocked punt set up the fi nal touchdown. Several Panthers were singled out by the crowd with standing ovations: ends Ted Dailey and Joe Skladany, guard Charles Hartwig, and back War ren Heller, who rushed for 63 yards in the fi nal game of his brilliant Pitt career.

“Jock” Sutherland was intent on win ning the Rose Bowl in his fourth try. To that end, Pitt spent two weeks working out on the west coast, for Sutherland was not going to accept 0-4 in Rose Bowl play. His tactics worked, and captain Bobby LaRue led Pitt to a 21-0 victory. LaRue’s running set up the fi rst touchdown of the game, which, fi ttingly, he scored. LaRue’s 50-yard run in the third quarter, which would have gone 75 yards for the touch down if not for a diving tackle, set up Frank Patrick’s touchdown. Pitt led, 14-0, after three quarters. The defense added a late touchdown, returning an intercep tion. So elated was Sutherland that he substituted every player who made the trip, so each could forever relate the experience of playing in a Rose Bowl victory. After four tries, the coach had fi nally overcome one of the few obstacles in his remarkable career.

A new era in Pitt football was ushered in with the Panthers’ fi rst bowl appearance in 17 years. Coach-of-the-Year Johnny Majors had revived a struggling program and Pitt was 6-4-1 entering this game. Freshman Tony Dorsett was a big part of the turnaround, rushing for 1,686 yards. Pitt struck fi rst, with Dorsett scoring two plays after Tom Perko recovered Arizona State quarterback Danny White’s fumble on the fi rst play of the game. But the Sun Devils, playing on their own fi eld, proved too tough. Woody Green scored four plays after Dorsett’s touchdown to tie the game. Arizona State scored three touch downs in 6:04 of the fourth quarter, and although Pitt blocked all three extra points, the game ended one-sided after being tied at half time. Dorsett rushed for 100 yards, but Pitt turned the ball over seven times. Both quarterbacks, White and Pitt’s Billy Daniels, threw three inter ceptions, but White completed 14-of-19 for 269 yards. Daniels was 7-20 for just 57 yards.

A fumble killed a fi rst-quarter drive, then quarterback Corny Salvaterra was stopped on a fourth-and-goal just before halftime. Pitt’s Ray DiPasquale intercepted a pass to squelch a fourth quarter threat by Tech. In the fi nal moments, Pitt made a furious attempt to tie the game.

Coach John Michelosen’s team had wanted a rematch with Georgia Tech, but the result was the same—a seven-point loss. Pitt outgained Tech by 106 yards, 313-207, but was plagued by turn overs. Georgia Tech converted an early inter ception into a touchdown and a 7-0 lead. Pitt was stopped on a goal-line stand at the start of the second quarter, and Tech increased its lead late in the quarter with a halfback-option TD pass. Pitt quarter back Corny Salvaterra hit Dick Bowen with a 36-yard scoring pass just before the half, and Pitt trailed, 14-7. Bowen’s fumble on the second-half kickoff set up the clinching touchdown. Pitt pulled to within seven on Salvaterra’s sneak, but could draw no closer.

A player rushing for 100 yards is impressive. Two players on the same team is remarkable. Three is unheard of, but that is how Pitt knocked off Kansas. Elliott Walker (11 carries for 123 yards, 11.2 average) got the ball rolling with a 60-yard touchdown run in the fi rst quar ter. Tony Dorsett (27-142) scored two touchdowns in the second quarter. Pitt had nearly 300 rushing yards at the inter mission. Quarterback Robert Haygood ran the veer offense to perfection, rush ing for 101 yards (14 carries) when he wasn’t busy pitching out to Dorsett. Haygood also connected with Gordon Jones for a touchdown after Walker scored his second of the game. Jones set up his own touchdown with a 63-yard kickoff return. With eight wins, Pitt had its best season since 1963. Dorsett rushed for 1,686 yards on the season, matching his 1973 total.

Pitt’s defense wanted this game badly. Its leader for four years, Hugh Green, fi nished second in the Heisman Trophy voting behind South Carolina’s George Rogers. With the chance to avenge that result, Pitt smothered Gamecocks with a swarming defense and an effi cient offense. Rick Trocano and Dan Marino split time at quarter back; each threw a touchdown pass and Trocano added a short TD run. Although Rogers gained 113 yards, his two fumbles were more of a factor in the game than his rushing out-put. Tom Flynn recov ered Rogers’ fumble on the fi rst play of the game, leading to Trocano’s score. Randy McMillan scored two touchdowns as Pitt rolled to a 37-3 lead. The defense was led by Rickey Jackson, who made 19 tackles (14 solos). Pitt fi nished the season 11-1.

It faced a fourth-and-5 at the Bulldog 33. Coach Jackie Sherrill disdained the poten tial 50-yard fi eld goal attempt. “With fi ve minutes to go I said we were not here to tie, we were here to win,” Sherrill said. Dan Marino wanted to throw a short pass to a running back to get the fi rst down, but a Georgia blitz left tight end John Brown in single coverage down the middle.

Primarily a running team in 1978, Pitt attempted to open it up on this night, throwing 48 passes. Four were intercepted, however. The Wolfpack, led by star running back Ted Brown, rolled up a 23-3 fourth quarter lead before Pitt quarterback Rick Trocano tried to bring the Panthers back. An 18-play drive featured four fourth-down conversions, the last of which resulted in a Freddie Jacobs touchdown. Pitt moved to State’s 34-yard line with fi ve minutes remaining, but an interception settled the issue. Trocano was intercepted twice more before the game ended, but he also led Pitt to the game’s fi nal touch down. “Execution on our part was our biggest problem,” Coach Jackie Sherrill said. “’We didn’t play well...and the turnovers hurt us.’’ Pitt fi nished 8-4.

The many remarkable accomplishments Tony Dorsett achieved in his four years at Pitt were punctuated by his role in this win, one that gave Pitt its fi rst national championship in 39 years. Dorsett, quarterback Matt Cavanaugh and a marauding defense just would not be denied in the fi rst indoor Sugar Bowl game. Cavanaugh, named the game’s MVP, scored from six yards out to give Pitt a 7-0 lead. The celebration of that touchdown became a Sports Illustrated cover that can be seen at several sites around Pitt’s campus. The photo headline simply read: “PITT IS IT!” Gordon Jones turned a short pass into a 59-yard touchdown excursion in the second quarter. Dorsett’s 10-yard score late in the half cemented the victory. He was far from through, however. After gaining 65 yards in the fi rst half, the Heisman Trophy winner exploded in the second to fi nish with a Sugar Bowl record 202 yards rushing, including 67 on one run that set up one of Carson Long’s two second-half fi eld goals. The defense created six turnovers, and limited the Bulldogs to 181 yards. Pitt defenders actually caught more Georgia passes than did Georgia receivers (four interceptions, compared to three completions in 22 attempts). Vince Dooley, Georgia’s head coach, said this about the 12-0 Panthers: “They proved today they are the best in the country. They have amazing balance; they are the best defensive team we’ve seen. I think that is obvious. They are also the best offensive team we’ve faced.” Pitt coach Johnny Majors, who completed his four-year stint at Pitt with a 33-13-1 record (after a combined 13-29 mark in the previous four years) was named Coach-of-the-Year for the second time at Pitt.

Three scoring tosses went to fullback Elliott Walker, who joined Tony Dorsett as the second Pitt back ever to rush for 1,000 yards in a season. Gordon Jones scored the other TD on one of his 10 receptions for 163 yards. Cavanaugh threw for 211 yards and two touchdowns in the fi rst half alone. Clemson’s vaunted passing combination of Steve Fuller-to-Jerry Butler was rendered ineffective by a Pitt secondary which swooped in for four interceptions, two by senior safety Bob Jury.

The New Year’s Eve crowd was treated to an action-packed game from the start. Stafford connected with Jones for a 77-yard touchdown on the fi rst play from scrimmage. Pitt retaliated quickly: Billy Owens returned the kickoff 45 yards, Billy Osborn hit Reggie Williams for 45 more yards on a trick play; then Craig Heyward tied the score with a four-yard burst. Six plays later, the Long horns took the lead for good as Stafford hit Jones on a short pass that he broke for a 60-yard touchdown.

It also was Pitt’s fi rst bowl win since the Panthers’ 24-20 Sugar Bowl victory over Georgia in 1982. Van Pelt, who completed 20 of 40 passes and threw for two touchdowns, rallied the Panthers from a 28-24 defi cit, when he connected with Henry Tuten on a 44-yard touchdown strike with just 2:19 remaining in the game, giving Pitt a 31-28 lead. Tailback Curvin Richards rushed for 156 yards on 23 carries and scored the fi rst points of the game with a 12-yard TD. Texas A&M countered with a nine-yard touchdown run by quarterback Lance Pavlas, tying the score at 7-7 to end the fi rst quarter. With the score tied at 10 late in the fi rst half, Van Pelt threw an eight-yard touch down pass to Ronald Redmon, giving Pitt a 17-10 halftime lead. Flanker Olanda Truitt completed his freshman season in stellar fashion, catching four passes for 124 yards, including a key 59-yard recep tion that set up Redmon’s score. Carnel Smith fi nished the game with 10 tackles and Barry Threats had a game-ending interception, which ended Texas A&M’s fi nal drive and secured the Panthers’ victory.

The Panthers (9-4) held the Beavers to 273 yards and forced three turnovers. Unfortunately Pitt’s offense was also bottled up, managing only 178 yards and never penetrating Oregon State’s 36-yard line. The Panthers appeared poised to pull out another fourth-quarter comeback when T.J. Porter returned a punt 36 yards to the OSU 42 with 12:39 left in the game. A sack and forced fumble by the Beavers’ Victor Butler, however, ended the threat. Pitt’s fi nal scoring opportunity came with 2:02 remaining when Conor Lee attempted a 57-yard fi eld goal, but the kick fell just short of the crossbar.

BBVA COMPASS BOWL • JAN. 8, 2011

Birmingham, Ala., Legion Field

PITTSBURGH 0 13 7 7 — 27KENTUCKY 3 0 7 0 — 10

Pitt utilized a punishing running game and forced two Kentucky punting miscues to defeat the Wildcats, 27-10, in the BBVA Compass Bowl played at historic Legion Field in Birmingham, Ala. Andrew Taglianetti blocked a punt to set up Pitt’s fi rst touchdown late in the second quarter, giving the Panthers a 13-3 lead. Pitt then forced an incomplete pass on a Kentucky fake punt early in the third, setting up Tino Sunseri’s 13-yard TD pass to Brock DeCicco that made it 20-3. The Wildcats countered with their only touchdown, a one-yard run by Moncell Allen later in the period that cut the defi cit to 10. But the Panthers answered with a long drive that was capped by a two-yard touchdown run by Dion Lewis to seal the result. Lewis rushed for 105 yards and a TD to earn his second consecutive bowl MVP award. Defensively the Panthers held Kentucky well below its average of 33 points per game. Defensive backs Dom DeCicco and K’Waun Williams had nine tackles each. Pitt, playing the game under acting head coach Phil Bennett, fi nished 8-5, while the Wildcats fell to 6-7.
