William 1967 Ron Turner Quarterbacks Ron Turnertakes overthejob of coaching the quarterbacks as he begins‘ his first season as a member of the Panther staff. He has shown in the past that he has a knack for developing young talent, and his addition to the staff will be invaluable this year. Turner comes to Pitt from Northwestern University where he spent two years coaching quarterbacks and receivers. Prior to his position at Northwestern, he coached the running backs and receivers at Arizona for three seasons, and before that he was a graduate assistant at the University of the Pacific for one year. “Ron is one of the bright, young quarter- back coaches in the country,” said Coach Fazio. “He developed two outstanding freshman quarterbacks at Northwestern. He’s an excellent teacher and has a good understanding of the passing game. We’re very impressed with his credentials. Look- ing at the freshman quarterback who threw for 2,800 yards at Northwestern, Ron developed an unproven talent." Turner coached freshman All-America quarterback Sandy Schwab at North- western. Schwab completed 57% of his passes and tossed the ball for 2,800 yards. A 1977 graduate of the University of the Pacific,-Turner was a two-year Ietterman at wide receiver and received his Bachelor’s Degree in Physical Education. COACHING EXPERIENCE: COLLEGE — University of the Pacific, 1977, graduate assistant; University of Arizona, 1978-80, wide receiver and running back coach; Northwestern University, 1981-82, quarter- back and wide receiver coach. PERSONAL INFORMATION: Date of Birth: 12/5/53. Hometown: Martinez, CA. Alma Mater: University of the Pacific ’77. Married to the former Wendy Morgan. Andy Urbanic Running Backs Andy Urbanic enters his third year as the offensive backfield coach for the Pitt staff. He is no stranger to the western Penn- sylvania region, having coached high school football in the area for 19 years. Before coming to Pitt, he had been at Penn Hills High School in suburban Pittsburgh for 11 years and led his teams to eight state championships while earning Coach-of-the- Year honors five times. Besides his tenure at Penn Hills, Urbanic gained head coaching experience at Wheel- ing Central Catholic High School, Triadelphia High School, and Dillonvale (OH) High School. Coach Fazio said, “Andy has been with us for three seasons and has done a fine job. Bryan Thomas owes a lot of his suc- cess to Andy’s tough, spartan-like practice sessions. Andy has a great rapport with his players and is an outstanding recruiter.” Urbanic had previously been involved with collegiate athletics at Bethany College where he served as assistant football coach, head swimming coach, and assis- tant track coach.

PITT IN THE POLLS Since there is no national playoff system for Division I-A football teams, the polls published by the Associated Press and United Press International are two of the ways of determining some sort of consensus on a National Champion. The AP poll, which is voted on by sportswriters and broadcasters, has been in existence since 1936 and in that time the Pitt Panthers have finished atop the rankings twice —in1937 and 1976. Other Panther finishes in the AP ratings include a second (1980), a third (1936), two fourths (1963, 1981), a seventh (1979), two eighths (1938, 1977), and a tenth (1982). The UPI rankings are based on voting by coaches. Since the first poll in 1950, the Panthers have landed one National Championship — 1976, two years after the coaches began waiting until the conclusion of the bowl games to vote on a national champ. Before that time. the poll was taken after the regular season and before the bowl games. Other Pitt finishes in the UPI poll include two seconds (1980, 1981), a third (1963), a sixth (1979), a seventh (1977), and a ninth (1982). ASSOCIATED PRESS 1936 1942 1948 1954 1. Minnesota 1.

Born in Oakiand’s Magee Hospital, Grosso earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Physical Education at the University of Miami and his Master’s from Barry College in Miami, FL. He had been a high school coach and athletic administrator in the Miami area for 12 years before coming to Pitt. As athletic director, assistant football coach, and then head football coach, Grosso was Dade County’s Coach—of-the- Year in 1976 when he led his lmmaculata LaSalle team to a 9-3 mark and conference and district championships. He has also served in similar capacities at Miami’s Deerborne High School and Coral Gables High School, where he also was the head soccer coach. While at LaSalle, Grosso coached two student-athletes who went on to play football and graduate from Carnegie-Mellon University. Grosso joined the Miami staff in 1979 and had the opportunity to work with Fred Marion, a Kodak All-America who now plays with the New England Patriots. He has also worked with a pro scouting combine. “Carmen came to us from Miami," said Coach Fazio. “He brings with him a tough, disciplinarian-type attitude. He’s a fine teadcher and will do a good job with thetight en s.” COACHING EXPERIENCE: HIGH SCHOOL — lmmaculata LaSalle High School, 1970-75, assistant football coach; lmmaculata LaSal|e High School, 1976-79, head football coach and athletic director; Deerborne High School, 1979-81, athletic director; Coral Gables High School, 1982, head soccer coach.

The names and faces have changed, but the tradition continues. Panther head coach Foge Fazio enters his second season at the helm. having led his 1982 team to a 9-3 record and a Cot- ton Bowl bid. Gone are 24 seniors (131/2 starters) who compiled a 42-6 mark in their four years in a Panther uniform. Twenty-seven lettermen (81/2 starters) return with the hope that they will be able to carry on the tradition of their predecessors. Nine of last year's seniors were selected in the spring NFL draft, during which three Panthers — Jimbo Covert, Tim Lewis, and Dan Marino —- were picked in the first round. Those figures bear a striking resemblance to the numbers produced by the 1980 Pitt team when that 11-1 ballclub had 12 players drafted, including Hugh Green, Mark May, and Randy McMillan in the first round. People worried over the depletion of the ranks then, much the same way they are wondering about what ‘83 may bring. Well, 1981 was not too shabby a year for the Panthers as Pitt went 11-1, including the 24-20 thriller over Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. Just like 1981, there are questions. There are holes to be filled. There is inexperience. And the schedule is as tough, it not tougher, than a year ago. But there is quiet, determined optimism. And it is possible that the question marks could become resounding answers. Only time will tell for Fazio and his Pitt Panthers. Of course, the biggest question that faces Fazio is who will be calling the offensive signals when Pitt travels to Tennessee on September 3rd to open the season. With the graduation of Dan Marino, the Panthers‘ all-time leading passer, the quarterback position is up for grabs. Waiting for the nod are sophomore Chris Jelic, a 5-11, 185—pound all-around athlete, and junior John There’s no question that junior All-America tackle Bill Fralic is a serious contender for the Outland and Lombardi Trophies . . . 12 Cummings, who at 6-2 and 190 has the size and the arm to get the job done. The two other candidates for the position are sophomore John Congemi and freshman Matt Daniels. Spring prac- tice gave Fazio and his staff a few of the clues they were looking for in order to find the answer. “Both Chris Jelic and John Cummings had outstanding scrimmages," said Fazio. “Both showed the leadership qualities that we’re looking for. John Congemi came on very strong at the end. All three of the young men can run the ball well and run the option well. Matt Daniels is a young, inexperienced guy who is very strong and very aggressive. Because of this situation, we were able to move Tom Flynn back to free safety and he'll be our insurance policy." Flynn, a senior All-America candidate at free safety, took a shot at the quarterback job in the spring; however, with the development of the other potential QBs, Fazio was able to move the tri- captain back to the spot where he has earned acclaim the past three seasons. One of Fazio‘s spring practice goals was to build an offense around the available personnel. After reflecting on the spring drills, he feels this goal was met. The offensive look of the Panthers will take on a different countenance this season, as Fazio and offensive coordinator Joe Moore will employ the option game and sprint-out passes in their package. It should be quite a change after watching Marino set passing and offensive records over the previous four years. It goes without saying that the forward pass will be a prominent part of the Pitt attack. The reason can be found in the person of All-America flanker prospect Dwight Collins, who will wind up his spectacular career this year. Collins enters his senior season within long-bomb range of several Panther career offensive marks, including career touchdown receptions and receiving yardage. Senior tailback Joe McCall and junior fullback Marlon Mclntyre provide experience in the back- field. McCall lived up to his nickname, “Do It All," last year as he filled in at both running back spots and gained 647 yards rushing and receiving. He will be the man expected to fill the void left by Bryan Thomas‘ graduation. Senior Mike Boyd and sophomore Darnell Stone saw limited duty last year but will provide more-than-adequate backup. Senior Marc Bailey, coming off an injury a year ago, will provide relief for Mclntyre, who gained 246 yards up the middle last season. The depth in the backfield will undoubtedly prove advan- tageous to the Panthers in '83. Because of inexperience, the offensive line is a big area of concern for the Pitt coaches. However, that line will have the great equalizer —— junior Bill Fralic. Fralic, an All-America in 1982, has gained the reputation of being the premier lineman in the country in just two years of college ball. He has been named to several preseason All-America teams, including Playboy magazines, and is a legitimate candidate for the Outland and Lom- bardi Trophies. The other experienced lineman is tri-captain senior center Jim Sweeney, whom Moore feels is one of the finest. While the left tackle and center positions are in proven hands, the other three positions will be handled by untested players — sophomore Mike Dorundo (left guard); senior Mike Dahl (right guard), one of the three winners of last spring’s most improved player award; and junior Greg Christy (right tackle), a two-year letterman who and senior cornerback Troy Hill will help the Panthers answer the call in ’83 when he returns in- terceptions like this one against Rutgers last year. missed all of last season with a knee injury. Heading into fall camp, sophomores Tim Jones, Bob Brown, John Rees, and Tony Brown will all be counted on in the trenches, while senior Tony Magnelli, a three-year Ietterman, will back up Sweeney in the middle. Junior Bill Wallace inherits the split end posi- tion from Julius Dawkins, the school's all-time career touchdown receiver. While Collins is known for his game-breaking speed. Wallace is a steady, precise-pattern-running wideout with good hands. Backing up Collins will be Matt Stennett, a former Parade All-America from nearby Shaler High School who moved to flanker as a result of the depth at tailback. The tight end spot has been cause for concern. Junior Clint Wilson returns after starting most of last season when John Brown went down with a knee injury. “Clint has made great strides and he's gotten a lot bigger," noted Fazio. “Bob Lawson (a sophomore) and Pat Schipani (a redshirt fresh- man) are both pushing him. The thing is that there is a lot of competition at that position, and that alone should help." Competition is what the Panther defense has been known to give opposing offenses. It's never been easy to move the ball versus Pittsburgh, and with tradition in its favor, this year's “D‘-' could continue in the line of the defenses of the recent past. With Flynn back at free safety, the Pitt defense has the chance to carry on the legacy of tough, hard-nosed defense — a reputation that is well- 13 earned considering the Panthers are ranked Number One by the NCAA in rushing and total defense over the past five years. Flynn and All-America tackle Bill Maas lead the way for the '83 edition. There are just two other starters returning from last year‘s third-ranked defense: three-year Ietterman and tri-captain Troy Hill, who led the team with three interceptions last season, at left cornerback and senior Al Wengli- kowski, another three-year letter-winner and steady performer, at left end. Sophomores Bob Buczkowski (left tackle) and Bob Schilken (middle guard) must fill the shoes of Dave Puzzuoli and J.C. Pelusi, respectively. Buczkowski and Schilken, a former Parade All—America, were both highly touted coming out of high school, and their transition to being starting players should be a smooth one. ' Both linebackers — juniors Caesar Aldisert and Troy Benson — have gained experience as backup players. Aldisert was in on 28 tackles a year ago and intercepted a pass, while Benson, another winner of last spring‘s most improved player award, made 16 stops with an interception. The two have played as a pair since their arrival at Pitt and could form one of the best linebacking tandems in recent memory. Junior Chris Doleman will hold down the right end position. At 6-6, 220 pounds, Doleman has the quickness and range to become a dominating player. Two years ago he was a freshman All- America. Doleman made 28 tackles last season and added five sacks and an interception, as he displayed his ability to either rush the passer or drop back in pass coverage. Senior Ray Weatherspoon will get the nod at strong safety where he is known for his willing- ness to come up and make the big hit against the run. He is probably the most physical of the defen- sive backs. Bill Callahan, a sophomore who let- tered at fullback last year, has switched to the defensive backfield and will provide solid relief for Weatherspoon. Junior Melvin Dean, the other most improved player during spring practice, will man the right corner. Dean saw action in ’82 as a backup player and a special teams performer. Placekicker Eric Schubert, who turned in a nine- for-nine PAT effort against Louisville a year ago, is back — as is punter Tony Recchia. “Eric should be greatly improved in all placement kicking and, hopefully, Tony Recchia will be more consistent in the punting game. We have probably one of the finest kickoff men in the country in Eric," said Fazio. After a year under his belt, Fazio is hoping to improve on last year's 9-3 mark. Nobody knows if indeed the question marks will become solid answers or not, but Fazio does know what kind of club he would like to field. “I would like to have a team that is very aggressive, that enjoys football, not only on game day, but enjoys football from the time they get here, all the way through practices and on to game day itself. I'd like a team that never gives up, a team that will be exciting and make things happen — both defensively and offensively. I don't want a team that is going to sit there waiting for things to happen, hoping that somebody‘s going to make a big play. “Hopefully, our defense will be reckless and aggressive enough to hold us in the game. I'd like to see the offense with a quarterback playing the part of runner as well as throwing the ball, along with people like Dwight Collins coming back who will help us be quite exciting.“ Yes, there are questions, and 1983 will bring the answers.

Fazio‘s nine wins equalled the number of his predecessor, Jackie Sherrill, who posted a 9-2-1 record in 1977, and John Moorhead, who recorded a 9-1 mark in 1907, his only season at the Panther helm. wait The Panthers will be out for their 11th consecutive winning season in 1983. Pitt had eight straight winning years from 1904-1911 and 27 consecutive from 1913-1939 under “Pop” Warner, Jock Sutherland, and Charles Bowser. Since 1973, the year that marked the beginning of the modern era in Pitt’s winning tradition, the Panthers are 92-25-2 (.773), 43-9 at home (.827) and 43-15-2 on the road (.717). They have averaged 9.2 victories a season since 1973. Pitt football teams have recorded an overall record of 509-321-36. «vita Pitt has now won eight or more games in eight straight seasons, a record in Panther football history. That mark includes the 33 victories from 1979-1981. The Panthers have recorded a Top 10 ranking (A.P. or U.P.l.) six of the last seven years. watt Pitt’s success among the nation’s top teams is evident in its record over the last seven years. In that time the Panthers have the best mark in the country with a 71-12-1 record (including bowl games). Alabama is second (69-13-1), B.Y.U. is third (69-17), Southern Cal is fourth (67-14-2), and Oklahoma is fifth (65-16-2). According to the NCAA statistics, which do not include bowl games, the Panthers have the third best win- ning percentage in the country over the past five years with a 47-8 mark (.855). Georgia is first at 47-7-1 (.864) and Nebraska is second 48-8 (.857). Pitt has won 41 of its last 46 ballgames. «cut The Panthers have been bowl-bound for nine of the last ten years beginning in 1973 with the Fiesta Bowl (1975-Sun Bowl, 1976-Sugar Bowl, 1977-.Gator Bowl, 1978-Tangerine Bowl, 1979-Fiesta Bowl, 1980-Gator Bowl, 1981-Sugar Bowl, 1982-Cotton Bowl). The Panthers have won six of their last eight bowl games. Qt!-Q Pitt’s defense has finished in the top five in the country in each of the past four years. Last season, the Panthers were fifth in rushing defense (93.5 yards/game), third in scoring defense (12.0 points/game). and third in total defense (243.7 yards/game). In 1980 and 1981, under the direction of then defensive coordinator Foge Fazio, Pitt was ranked first in both rushing and total defense. In 1981 Pitt allowed 62.4 yards-per game on the ground and 224.8 yards/game overall. The 1980 marks were 55.3 yards/game rushing and 205.5 yards total. in 1979 the Pitt defense was seventh in the nation versus the run at 106.5 yards/game and fourth in total defense with an average of 210.5 yards allowed. start The NCAA statistics have the Pitt defense ranked number one in total defense and rushing defense over the five-year period from 1978-1982. During that time, the Panthers have given up an average of 225.9 yards/game, which is almost 20 yards better than second-ranked Texas (244.8 yards/game). Pitt’s rushing defense over the past five years has allowed an average of 88.2 yards/game. Southern Cal is second at 108.8 yards/game. The Panthers are the only team in the country to give up an average of less than 100 yards/game on the ground since 1978. Also, Pitt is third in scoring defense over that time; Nebraska is first, giving up 11.5 points/game, Alabama is second (11.87 points/game), followed by Pitt (11.93). The Panthers and the Crimson Tide have played the same number of games the past five years, and Pitt has given up just three more points than Alabama. - nan: Pitt has had at least one first-team All-America selection each of the last 10 years starting in 1973 (Tony Dorsett, 1973; Dorsett and Gary Burley, 1974; Dorsett, 1975; Dorsett and Al Romano 1976; Matt Cavanaugh, Randy Holloway, Bob Jury, and Tom Brzoza, 1977; Hugh Green and Gordon Jones, 1978; Green, 1979; Green and Mark May, 1980; Dan Marino, Sal Sunseri, Jimbo Covert, and Julius Dawkins, 1981; and Covert, Bill Fralic, and Bill Maas, 1982). fltfit Pitt lost quite a few veteran players with the conclusion of the 1982 season. The Panthers will attempt to replace 11 players who were four-year lettermen and five performers who lettered three years. «:9: ln1982 Pitt broke nine school records. Of course, quarterback Dan Marino rewrote virtually all the Panther passing marks, while also breaking Tony Dorsett’s career total offense record. Julius Dawkins set the career touchdown reception record with 23, a mark that will undoubtedly be tested with the return of senior flanker Dwight Collins. Eric Schubert’s nine-for-nine PAT effort against Louisville set two records. twat Dwight Collins, who has caught 19 TD passes in this career, needs five more to put his name in the school record books in that category. ollins also enters his senior year in second place on Pitt's all-time receiving yardage list. Gordon Jones is atop the list with 2,230 yards, while Collins is just 399 yards behind at 1,831. Collins is also 14th on Pitt’s all-time scoring list with 114 points. After spendin much of the 1982 season as a more than adequate fill-in at fullback and tailback behind Bryan Thomas, 'oe McCall will be counted on in 1983 to lead the Panther rushing attack. McCall averaged SIX yards every time he touched the ball last year. He gained 385 yards rushing on 85 carries and added 260 yards on 22 receptions. Against Army last year, he ground out 129 yards rushing. «rat The year 1982 marked the highest attendance average ever for Pitt football. in six home dates the Pan- thers averaged 54,818 fans, which broke the mark of 50,860 set in 1981. Four of the six games were sellouts, including the North Carolina game at Three Rivers Stadium. A measure of the difficulty of the 1982 slate is that five of Pitt‘s opponents went on to post-season bowl games. Things don’t get any easier in 1983 — five of this year's opponents played in ‘82 bowl games. Ten- nessee lost to Iowa in the Peach Bowl, 28-22; Maryland lost to Washington in the Aloha Bowl, 21-20; Florida State beat West Virginia in the Gator Bowl, 31-12; and Penn State beat Georgia in the Sugar Bowl, 27-23. Thregeggf those opponents —— Tennessee, Maryland, and West Virginia — will be road games for the Panthers in 1 . 16 DATE Sept. Sept. Sept. Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct. Nov. Nov.

A TRADITION IN TRAVEL The University of Pittsburgh football team was a pioneer in air travel for college athletic teams. The 1939 Panther football squad was the first team ever to travel across country by air, when the squad travelled to the University of Washington. The total party of 41 used two DC—3s. Departure was Wednesday morning with stops in Chicago, Madison, and an overnight stay in Minneapolis. Thursday had stops in Fargo, Billings, and an overnight stay at Missoula, Montana. Friday had a stop in Spokane and a 6:30 PM arrival at Seattle. The team won the game but could not begin the return trip until Monday because of poor weather, since TWA had not flown over the Rockies and they flew visually. The return route was San Francisco, Los Angeles, Albuquerque, Amarillo, Kansas City, Columbus, and Pittsburgh, finally, at 3:00 AM Tuesday. Pittsburgh Press sports writer Chester Smith, who covered the game, returned home by train and beat the team back to Pittsburgh. The Panthers were also the first team to travel by jet, booking space in the rear of a plane to Los‘Angeles in 1959 for a game against USC. Luckily, for the Panthers, air travel has improved vastly since that original trip in 1-939.

But his physical stature takes a back seat only to the tremendous talent possessed by this young man who has the potential to become one of the premier players of collegiate football. Two years ago, Bill Fralic stepped on the turf of Pitt Stadium and became the first freshman to start his first collegiate contest at Pitt since Tony Dorsett did so in 1973. And with two fine seasons behind him, it only makes sense that the next two years could add up to a more than sensational college career. When the Associated Press named its All-American squad in 1982 and it included the name “Bill Fralic," the Panthers became the most recognized offensive line in the country for the season. Not only was Fralic an All-America at one tackle, but Jimbo Covert earned All-America status at the other tackle spot. There have only been two other sophomores at Pitt to win such acclaim. Those two were Dorsett and Hugh Green, not bad company. Recognized as one of the finest offensive linemen in the country in ‘82, Fralic is a legitimate contender for the Outland and Lombardi Trophy this year. ‘ After his freshman year, Fralic left no doubt that he was headed for greatness. Everyone seemed to agree that Fralic was the top frosh lineman in the country. “He played his position better than any freshman we ever seen play any position,” said Panther offensive line coach Joe Moore, who has seen some good freshmen, such as Dan Marino and Green. Moore's opinion of Fralic has done nothing but grow since that intitial season. Today Moore says, “Bill Fralic is simply a great, great football player. As a freshman, his pass blocking was unbelievable. In his sophomore year, his pass blocking improved. As a freshman, his run blocking was outstanding. His sophomore year, he improved his run blocking. If he continues to make the same improvement, I feel he has a chance to become one of the greatest, if not the greatest, offensive linemen to play the college game. He was the best freshman I've ever seen play. He was the best sophomore I've ever seen play. Now we’ll see if he is the best junior we ever seen play. He is the best tackle in the country. He possesses all the tools. How well he develops now depends on his own personal motivation. “Bill's definitely off to the finest start Ive ever seen for an offensive lineman. In two years, he‘s just about dominated everybody he’s played against. If he dedicates himself and continues to improve, i think it’s unlimited as to how good he can become.” Pitt Head Coach Foge Fazio can only agree with Moore. “Bill Fralic, although he will only be a junior, is proving that he is one of the premier offensive linemen in the game of college football," said Fazio of the young man who has already been named to several preseason All-America squads, including that of Playboy magazine. “Not only is he an excellent blocker both on the run and on the pass, he‘s just so aggressive that he's not satisfied with just keeping his man out of the play. He wants to completely demolish and complete- ly dominate the line of scrimmage." As a freshman, Fralic earned honorable mention All-America honors from the Associated Press. He had such a fine season, one that was highlighted by his grading out to a perfect 100% on run blocking in a game against Boston College. Not once did his man touch the ballcarrier during the day, and for that effort he was named Offensive-Player-of-the-Game by the Pitt coaches, none of whom could recall the last time an offensive lineman was so honored. Fralic took over the spot left by the graduation of Outland Trophy winner Mark May. Teaming with Covert to form one of the most impressive tackle tandems in the country, Fralic was a big reason for the record-setting success of Marino, who set 13 school records before advancing to the pro ranks. Fralic showed signs that he would become the athlete he is today. At Penn Hills High School in suburban Pittsburgh, he was a Parade All-America and winner of the Dial Male Athlete-of-the-Year Award as a senior. The previous winner of the award was none other than Herschel Walker. Fralic won eight letters in high school — four in football and four in wrestling. He was coached by Andy Urbanic, who now coaches the running backs for Pitt. William P. Fralic was born 10/31/62 and is the gin of William P. and Dorothy Fralic of Penn Hills, 32 ALL-AMERICA BILL MAAS DEFENSIVE TACKLE 6-2/265 SENIOR NEWTOWN SQUARE, PA In the rich tradition being built that is “Pitt Defense," a tradition within a tradition has been going on for several years now — the great defensive line. The names come to mind instantly — Bill Neill, ary Burley, Greg Meisner, Al Romano, Dave Logan, just to name a few. Of these staples of the Pitt defensive unit, Bill Maas has come to distinguish himself already, in only his junior season, becoming the first Pitt interior defensive lineman to gain All-America status since Randy Holloway achieved that goal in 1977. Maas was named first-team All-America at the conclusion of his junior season at Pitt, after totalling 59 tackles, including an amazing 10 sacks and seven more tackles for losses in 12 games. Panther fans will remember his sack of Mountaineer quarterback Jeff Hostetler to help save the game against a feisty West Virginia University offense last fall. Maas is the third top returning tackler for the Panthers in 1983, behind defensive backs Tom Flynn and Troy Hill. Maas has held down a starting position since his sophomore season and has been a mainstay on the tough Panther defensive unit ever since as the starting right tackle. “I think potentially, if Bill progresses as he has been, he will be one of the best defensive tackles in the country this year," said Pitt defensive line coach Don Thompson. “In the past, Bill has deemed himself as a big-play defensive lineman — that shows in his 10 sacks. All he’s got to do is to continue to work hard to in- sure that he'll be the best. “With Bill’s size and speed, with Bill's tackles and sack production, with Bill’s intelligence, he’s got the potential to have an outstanding future in both college and pro football." Thompson compares Maas performance—wise to another great Pitt defensive lineman, Bill Neill (now a starter for the New York Giants). “Performance-wise, both Bills compare favorably. They do have different styles. Neill was a classic-type defensive lineman — like classical music. Maas is more a flamboyant-type player — like rock or disco music. Just remember, both types of music sell albums. “Maas, in the past, has been a big-play guy. We want him to continue to make his big plays, but also create big plays away from the ball. Make things happen all over the field. If he continues to develop in those positive ways, then I think he can be as good as he wants to be — the sky can be the limit for Bill. The people who he's played against — those offensive All-Americas — he did a real job on them last season. I feel that ii: he can play with that intensity every game this year, then at season's end, he’ll be everybody's All- merica." For his outstanding play against North Carolina in last season’s opener, Maas was named CBS “Player- of-the-Game.” His freshman season, Maas had a quarterback sack and blocked an extra point in the Gator Bowl; he had 72 tackles as a sophomore. Said Pitt Head Coach Foge Fazio: “We expect Bill Maas to fall in line as one in the tradition of Pitt defen- sive linemen — Bill Neill, Jerry Boyarsky, Greg Meisner, Dave Logan — the players who have played defen- sive line here at Pitt and have gone on to make a name for themselves in pro football. Bill has great size and he’s very aggressive — he’s been working very hard. He’s a freelance type guy and he’s been working hard on improving his technique. I feel that if he develops the consistency we’re looking for and he continues to work hard, then he‘ll be one of the best defensive tackles in the country this year.” _ Maas earned letters in football, wrestling and baseball at Marple Newtown High where his football coach was Bob Kenig. A sociology major at Pitt, William Thomas Maas was born 3/2/62 and is the son of Thomas and Elizabeth Maas of Newtown Square, PA. MAAS’ STATISTICS Year Games Sacks Fum. Rec.

After a sensational freshman year in which Dwight Collins was named to the majority of frosh All-America teams while gaining Pitt records for yards gained receiving in one year (827), yards gained receiving in one game (183 yds. vs. Florida State), and touchdown passes received in a single season (10), Collins has made his mark and there is just no denying that he has the physical tools to be one of the most outstanding flankers in the country. With a good start in 1983, Collins will etch his name in the Panther record books again. Collins, who has caught 19 touchdown passes in his collegiate career, needs just five more to put his name in the school record books in that category. He also enters his senior year in second place on Pitt’s all~time receiving yard- age list. Gordon Jones is atop the list with 2,230 yards, while Collins is just 399 yards behind at 1,831. Collins is also 14th on Pitt‘s all-time scoring list with 114 points. As a junior, Collins connected on 50 receptions for 696 yards (13.9 avg.) and four touchdowns. His longest of the season was a 41-yarder from quarterback Dan Marino against Syracuse. “I thought that Dwight, from the Notre Dame game on, was one of the finest wide receivers in the country," said Panther Head Coach Foge Fazio. “He had been bothered by minor pulls that had restricted his chances to really show his speed again. He looks like he's in the best_shape he’s ever been in —— He‘s a lot lighter than last year. He‘s concentrating on the ball. Dwight’s the type of athlete that we only have to give him the ball a little bit more, give him the ball on short passes, or maybe bring him in the backfield and pitch out to him. “Last year, I thought in the Notre Dame game he demonstrated that when he got the ball he could not only be a threat but that he is a great runner. I think that Dwight knows that as a senior, this is his last shot and he‘s prepared himself for a great, great season.“ In that Notre Dame game last season, Collins connected on eight receptions for 109 yards, his best in- dividual game of the season. A game breaker who could be one of the nation's most explosive receivers, Collins averaged a touchdown every third time he caught the ball as a freshman and followed that up his sophomore year by averaging six points on every fourth reception. With his size (6-1, 210) he‘s already built in the classic flanker mold, but what makes him almost impossible to defend is his combination of 4.3 speed (he was a Pennsylvania State 100 and 200 meter sprint champion) and an incredible leaping ability reminiscent of Pittsburgh Steeler great Lynn Swann. “Dwight is one of the best receivers in the country,“ said new Pitt receiver Coach Kent Schoolfield. “He is a great game-breaker because he has very good speed and he's larger than most receivers. He‘s a big, strong guy who's not afraid to go downfield and throw a block. Dwight is going to have a fine senior season because I think he realizes it’s his last shot." Collins came to Pitt as a high school All-America running back and was switched to receiver after both Pitt flankers went down with injuries in the initial game of Dwight’s freshman season. One of the most highly sought-after football players in the country coming out of high school, this former Parade Magazine All-America came to Pitt from the same Beaver Valley that produced Ton_y Dorsett. He was a high school All-America in both football and basketball, earning no less than 11 letters at Beaver Falls Sigh School. Dwight Dean Collins was born 8/23/61 and is the son of Eli and Clara Collins of Beaver Falls, A.

It is his responsibility to carry that legacy of fine defense into the 1983 season. After moving to quarterback during spring drills, Tom Flynn is back at free safety for the fall. He is back to the position that he has mastered for three years, and it is a position where he is a definite candidate for All-America honors. Besides the physical abilities that it takes to be an excellent safety, Flynn has the necessary attitude to succeed, as was the case when the tri-captain devoted most of spring practice to providing leadership and guidance for the young quarterbacks who will be counted on this season. “Tommy Flynn is probably one of the best football players that we have ever had here at Pitt," said Head Coach Foge Fazio. “He's dedicated to winning, dedicated to doing whatever it takes for Pitt to have an outstanding football team, whether it‘s at free safety, quarterback, wide receiver — whatever. Tommy‘s just an outstanding young man and we‘re very fortunate to have him.“ At the free safety spot last season, Flynn accounted for 82 tackles (54 solos, 28 assists) in ten games, while also breaking up six passes and intercepting a pass. He also led all Panther return men with 254 yards on 28 punt returns. He missed two games with a sprained foot sustained during the Notre Dame contest. Not only has he been a fixture in the Panther secondary for the past three seasons, but he‘s earned the reputa- tion as one of the top free safeties in the country. As a sophomore, Flynn had 83 tackles and a team-high five isnterceptions. He also had a spectacular 83-yard punt return that broke open a tight game against Florida tate. “In my years of coaching, Tom Flynn is the most complete defensive back I've ever seen," said Pitt secon- dary Coach Dino Folino. “Tommy's got just an unbelieveable wealth of talent. If you were going to hire an architect to design a defensive back, he'd design you Tom Flynn. Tommy‘s got excellent speed, excellent size and he’s a true, true winner. When the chips are down, he’s one player you can depend on. The rest of our defensive players look up to him. They know he won’t let them down. “Tom's a very intelligent person and that shows in his performance on the field. He just has exceptional intelligence. He's got great reactions; he reacts quickly and decisively to everything he sees." So it is no wonder that Flynn was asked to try his hand at the quarterback position. it is also no surprise that the young quarterbacks were able to improve enough during the spring so that Flynn could move back to the safety spot. Fazio attributes their progress as a group to the leadership provided by Flynn during the spring. Even though new Pitt quarterback Coach Ron Turner only worked with Flynn a short time, he was greatly impressed. “From what I've seen of Tom, I can tell that he is an exceptional athlete," said Turner. “He's got unbelievable quickness. I really think that his greatest asset is that he's a great competitor; he's a winner and you can see that in him right away. Tom's a take-charge kind of player.“ His nickname," The Flyer," was given to him by former Pitt quarterback Dan Marino after Marino watched Flynn scar on the basketball court one afternoon. The name Tom Flynn obviously means nothing but good things for the Panthers. Fazio feels that Flynn follows in the line of several other fine defensive backs, such as former Panther Bob Jury and ex-Steeler Mike Wagner, two of the best safeties to ever play in the City of Pittsburgh. Flynn was a WPIAL Class AAA Player-of-the-Year at Penn Hills where he was coached by Pitt running back coach Andy Urbanic. He also garnered All-State and honorable mention All-America honors as a quarterback and a defensive back. Thomas J. Flynn, one of seven brothers and sisters, was born 3/24/62 and is the son of ernard and Mary Flynn of Verona, PA. FLYNN,s STATISHCS Year Games Sacks Fum. Rec. PBU Int.

The second—leading returning tackler from last year's defense, Hill made 61 stops (39 solos, 22 assists), broke up 14 passes (a team-high), recovered two fumbles, and led the team in interceptions with three. He ond full season as a starter," said secondary Coach Dino Folino. “It is evident that he has the respect of his teammates because he was elected one of the team captains. Troy is an emotional player. He had great games last year against North Carolina and Florida State. He plays good man-to-man defense and is a very good hitter. Troy has a chance to be a fairly high draft pick." In the N.C. game, Hill made nine tackles, including eight unassisted stops, and broke up two passes. Against Florida State, he knocked down four passes and picked one off. As a sophomore, he returned an interception 26 yards against Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. His brother Carl Hill played football at Colorado State, and his brother-in-law is Dallas Cowboy wide receiver Drew Pearson. Hill played high school ball at South River High for Coach Bill Cstari and was an all-star running back for three seasons. A Communications and Business major at Pitt, Troy James Hill was born 2/18/62 and is the son of Max and Carrie Hill of South River, NJ. 53 JIM SWEENEY*** CENTER P|TTSBURGH,PA SRl6-3/250 Pitt offensive line Coach Joe Moore is rather blunt when you ask him about Jim Sweeney. “Sweeney is a great ballplayer," says Moore. “He's the best center in the country." You can't get any more concise than that. Sweeney, one of this year's tri- captains, beat out Tony Magnelli for the starting job a year ago and has had a lock on it ever since. His biggest contribution to the team, though, may be his ability to play all the positions along the offensive front. Last year, he played every position, including tight end, at some time during the season. “We have been very fortunate in the past to have centers like Russ Grimm, Tony Brzoza, and more recently Emil Boures, and now Jim Sweeney,” said Head Coach Foge Fazio. “The centers were - had over the past several years have been darn good football players. And now, with a guy like Magnelli backing Sweeney up at center, we can move Sweeney to guard or tackle if needed, so we’re very fortunate to have a swing man like Jim Sweeney.” Sweeney says that Boures has helped him more than anybody else with his football skills. A Criminology major at Pitt, Sweeney earned two football letters at Seton—LaSalle High for Coach Tom Donahue and was All-Conference and All-WPIAL. His brother Mike played ball at Thiel and Westminster Colleges. James Joseph Sweeney wa born 8/8/62 and is the son of Charles J. and Shirley Sweeney of Pittsburgh, PA. Q4 34 JOE McCALL*** HALFBACK MIAMI, FL SRl6-1/190 McCall filled in at tailback and fullback last season, but he will have a chance to be the main man this year when he will start at tailback. He lived up to his nickname, “Do It All," as he rushed for 385 yards and caught passes for 262 more in 7 ‘82. Had an outstanding game against Army when he gained 129 yards on 24 car- ries. “Speed is Joe’s greatest asset,” said running back Coach Andy Urbanic. “He is coming off an outstanding spring practice, and with the emphasis this season J on the running game he could develop into an excellent running back.

He’s been associated with the game of college foot- ball for some 25 years now, and it only makes sense that Foge Fazio is the head coach of the Pitt Panthers. in many ways, Foge Fazio is Pittsburgh personified. He was raised 10 miles down the road in Coraopolis, where he played high school football before coming to Pitt as an undergraduate. Since graduating from the University in 1960, he has been a graduate assistant, assistant coach, and he is now the 29th head coach in Panther football history. As Fazio settles in for his second year as the leader of the Panthers, he carries this reputation with him. He is one heckuva coach, an outstanding recruiter, and he is a Pitt man. There’s no mistaking any of those vital characteristics, which all add up to Pittsburgh’s Foge Fazio. Before even taking the head coaching position, Fazio worked hard at laying the groundwork for the reputation. His name was equally well known to Pittsburghers and to those people who comprise the world of college football. As an assistant coach, he was regarded as a defensive whiz and a top-flight recruiter. He was admired by his collegiate coaching colleagues. It is no coincidence that Pitt’s rise to national prominence as an outstanding defensive team occurred with Fazio as defensive coordinator. In 1980 and 1981 he put together a defensive unit that ranked first in the country against the rush and in total defense. So it was no surprise that 1982, Fazio’s first season as head coach, was high- lighted by yet another fine defensive effort. Last season the Panthers were ranked fifth in rushing defense, third in scoring defense, and third in total defense. Good defense is simply a big part of the Fazio Way. And thus it has become a major aspect of the Pitt football program. The Panthers, in fact, have the top-ranked rushing defense and total defense in the country over the past five years, according to the NCAA statistics. Also, Pitt is the only team in the nation to give up less than 100 yards a game rushing since 1978, the year before Jackie Sherrill named Fazio defen- sive coordinator and assistant head coach. While an assistant, Fazio’s defensive phil- osophy pushed him to the top of his profes- sion, as Inside Sports named him one of the top two assistants in the country in 1981. Fazio was known as a hard-nosed player even during his days back at Coraopolis High School. He continued to play linebacker and center at Pitt where, as a starting center his senior year, he was named MVP, All-East, and honorable men- tion All-America, and played in the North- South All-Star game and the All-American Bowl. He also played linebacker for the Boston Patriots for one year. Fa2io’s first squad as Pitt head coach achieved a 9-3 record and a Cotton Bowl in- vitation. His nine wins tied him for the most victories by a first-year Pitt head coach. Sherrill in 1977 and John Moorhead in 1907 are the only other head coaches in the school’s history to record as many as nine wins in their initial season. Although Fazio has proved his expertise in the past, 1982 was, nevertheless, a learn- ing experience. Fazio has seen the Pitt football program from many angles over the years. As an assistant coach and defensive coordinator, he grew accustomed to seeing the Panthers attain top national rank- ings, and was known to take part in the spring alumni game . .. THE 1983 BLUEIGOLD SPRING GAME Joe McCall rambled for 73 yards on the day and scored three touchdowns to lead the Blue squad to a 31-7 win over the Gold team in the Blue-Gold intrasquad scrimmage, which was held April 30, 1983, at Pitt Stadium and which capped Spring Practice. It didn’t take McCall long to get his team on the board. He scored from one yard out late in the first quarter and then went into the end zone again early in the second period. Placekicker Eric Schubert upped the Blue lead to 17-0 when he connected on a 27-yard field goal with just 37 seconds left in the first half. McCall scored his final touchdown of the day early in the third quarter when he scooted in with his third one-yard TD run. Late in the third stanza, Michael Boyd finished off the Blue scoring when he took an 11-yard pass from John Congemi and converted it into a score. The White team’s only points of the day came with less than two minutes left in the contest when Dexter Edmonds caught a 17-yard pass from Al Kniffen. in addition to McCall’s rushing effort, fullback Marlon Mclntyre picked up 34 yards on seven carries, and Boyd added 31 more on eight rushes. John Cummings had the best passing day among the quarterbacks as he hit on nine of 18 attempts for 107 yards. Chris Jelic, who saw action with each team's offense, was a com- bined seven for nine for 66 yards. Boyd hauled in six passes on the day for a total of 44 yards, and Mclntyre was on the receiving end of five aerials which totaled 47 yards. Tight end Clint Wilson gained 49 yards on three catches. THE ED CONWAY MEMORIAL AWARD Ed Conway was the “Voice of Pitt Football” for four years, before his untimely death in 1974. He was an honest, hard-working, professional sportscaster in the City of Pittsburgh for many years. Above all, Ed Conway was a friend. In appreciation of his work, and in keeping alive memories of him, Pitt football will present an award in his honor annually to the Most Improved offensive and defensive player on the squad each Spring.

Marino is only the third player in Pitt history to be thus honored. On November 8, 1980, at halftime of the Pitt-Louisville football game, Pitt honored senior defensive end Hugh Green by retiring his jersey #99. The first jersey to be retired was Tony Dorsett‘s #33. it was retired at halftime of Dorsett‘s last home game on November 13, 1976, against West Virginia. The following is the text of the announcement which offically retired #13 and was made by Dr. Bozik: As a Hollywood script, it may have been rejected. Just a little too perfect, the producers probably would have said. Not really believable, just the stuff of dreams not reality. He is raised just four blocks from the place where as a 17-year-old he becomes the hometown hero as an All-American High School quarterback. 6-4, 215-pounds, handsome and possessed with a rifle arm and keen intelligence, he can name his choice of colleges. Professional baseball in the person of the Kansas City Royals is also an option. He spurns all that and again his choice is located just four blocks from his home. It is a great institution with a fine football program, but Mom’s home cooking and laundry service sway the recruiting battle. In his first appearance in a college game he throws a touchdown pass on his third try, and that sets the tone for his career. Now, four years later his accomplishments read like this: A four-year starter, a first-team All-American, a fourth-place finisher in the Heisman Trophy balloting, holder of a remarkable 13 all-time school records, four bowl ap- pearances in four years, four top-ten rankings in four years, a record of 42-5 on the field, and off the field a 3.0 QPA in Communications in the classroom. In short, he will leave as the greatest quarterback in the history of the school. A touch of Hollywood, perhaps, but live and in person for sure in Pittsburgh That is why tonight, it is with a great deal of pride that l announce that the University of Pittsburgh will officially retire the jersey #13 of Daniel Constantine Marino Jr. Danny, you will thus join only two other all-time Pitt greats to be so honored by having their jersies retired: halfback Tony Dorsett and defensive end Hugh Green. The Uni- versity of Pittsburgh is very proud of you, Danny, as an athlete and as a young man. Never again will another Pitt football player wear the #13 jersey. It will be retired in our locker room in the same manner as #33 and #99. Thanks, Danny, thanks for the memories. 58 aw;-<~z>‘ §;;‘§2sa»x W; 1982 FINAL PITT STATISTICS WON 9 Ranked: 9th (UPI), 10th (AP) PITT 7 North Carolina 6 54,499 (H) + PITT 37 Florida State 17 56,236 (A) + PITT 20 Illinois 3 71,547 (A) + PITT 16 West Virginia 13 57,250 (H) + PITT 38 Temple 17 57,250 (H) + PITT 14 Syracuse 0 42,321 (A) PITT 63 Louisville 14 53,017 (H) Pitt 16 NOTRE DAME 31 60,162 (H)+ PITT 24 Army 6 40,475 (A) + PITT 52 Rutgers 6 46,728 (H) Pitt 10 PENN STATE 19 85,522 (A)+ Pitt 3 SMU 7 60,359 (A)# + Denotes Sellout #The Cotton Bowl ‘Three Rivers Stadium Home Attendance Average . . . . . . . . . .54,818 Away Attendance Average . . . . . . . . . 59,410 SCORING BREAKDOWN PITT 65 86 76 73 — 300 OPP. 19 30 34 56 — 139 Rushing Att.

(October 30) — The Pitt offense had been waiting six games for an outburst, and in this game Dan Marino and Company did indeed explode. After Tim Lewis returned the opening kickoff 91 yards, Joe McCall scored the first of nine Panther touchdowns. Later in the first period, Julius Dawkins caught a 41-yard Dan Marino pass for the 21st receiving TD of his career, tying him with Gordon Jones for the school record. Bryan Thomas became the first Pitt player of the season to rush for over 100 yards in a game, as he ran for 119 and scored two TDs, including a scamper of 51 yards. Placekicker Eric Schubert connected on all nine of his PAT attempts and set a school record for single-game points after touchdown attempted and made. Tom Flynn returned a punt 63 yards for a score early in the second quarter, while Lewis, Pitt's other top return man, suf- fered an ankle sprain which caused him to miss the next couple of games.

ATTENDANCE: 53,017 GAME 8 PITT 16, NOTRE DAME 31 PITTSBURGH, PA (November 6) — If one game can represent a season, then that’s just what the Notre Dame game meant to the Panthers. A national championship, the bowl bid of Pitt's choice, and an undefeated season were all on the line. But the Fighting Irish pulled out all the stops to score three fourth-quarter touchdowns and wipe out Pitt's 13-10 lead. Joe Howard scored ND‘s go-ahead touchdown on a 54-yard flea-flicker pass from Blair Kiel. Freshman Allen Pinkett scored on runs of 76 and seven yards to put the game away for the Irish and hand Pitt its first loss. The defeat dimmed one of Dan Marino‘s finest performances. Marino, who completed 26 of 42 passes for 314 yards, had his streak of 17 consecutive games with a TD pass thrown come to a halt. Dwight Collins caught eight passes for 109 yards, moving him into second place on Pitt‘s career receiv- ing list, while Bryan Thomas, who scored the Panthers‘ only touchdown on a one-yard third quarter run, gained 93 yards on 27 attempts. Besides losing the game, Pitt lost the services of safety Tom Flynn, who injured his foot in the first half. Eric Schubert had his best day of the year, as he connected on all three of his field goal attempts, including two from 48 yards.

ATTENDANCE: 46,728 GAME 11 PITT 10, PENN STATE 19 UNIVERSITY PARK, PA. (November 26) — Every year, the Pitt vs. Penn State game is the battle for football supremacy in the East. This game, however, had even higher stakes than normal. A national championship was still very possible for the win- ner. On the strength of four Nick Gancitano field goals, including three in the second half, the Nittany Lions were able to over- come a 7-3 halftime deficit to take the win before a Beaver Stadium record crowd of 85,522. Tailback Bryan Thomas turned in the finest rushing performance of the year for the Panthers as he picked up 143 yards on 31 carries to move him into third place on Pitt's all-time rushing list. Thomas also caught seven passes for 46 yards. Dan Marino hit on 18 of 32 passes for 193 vards. Marino and Thomas each had more productive days than their PSU counterparts, Todd Blackledge and Curt Warner. In- cluded in Pitt’s 397 yards total offense were six Dwight Collins‘ catches for 71 vards. Thomas and Eric Schubert scored all the Panthers‘ points on a four-yard run and a 17-yard field goal, respectively.

Folino later served as defensive coordinator at Central Catholic. Althou n he is young, Folino has a wealth 0' coaching experience at the col- lege level. He came to Pitt from the Univer- sity of Cincinnati where he spent five years as a defensive backfield coach. He pre- viously coached at the University of New Hampshire and was a graduate assistant at Ohio State under the legendary Woody Hayes. He has been associated with teams which have gone to the Rose, Sugar, and Cotton Bowls. “Dino has been with us now for three years and he did an outstanding job recruiting last season," said Coach Fazio. “He’s a bright young man and does an ex- cellent job with the secondary." A native of Pittsburgh, Folino is the father of five children, the youngest of whom is Ellen, who was born in Dallas while the Panthers were preparing for last season’s Cotton Bowl.

Kent Schoolfield Wide Receivers Kent Schoolfield comes to Pitt from Temple University after earning the reputa- tion as a fine receiver coach when he was at New Mexico State and Florida State. Prior to his one-year stay at New Mexico State, he coached under Bobby Bowden for five and one-half years and helped lead the Seminoles to two Orange Bowl appear- ances and a Tangerine Bowl bid. “Kent came to us with an excellent background," said Coach Fazio. “He's an outstanding teacher and a tough dis- ciplinarlan. He coached some outstanding receivers while he was at Florida State, and he is a dedicated and hardworking recruiter." A native of Columbus, OH, Schoolfield was a fine collegiate athlete. He played wide receiver and ran track at his alma mater, Florida A&M, where he was All- Conference and played in the Lions All- American Game. A 1970 graduate of Florida A&M, he received his Master’s Degree in Education from the same institution. Schoolfield attended East High School in Columbus where he lettered in football, basketball, and track. After graduating from college, he was drafted by the Boston Patriots, and he began his coaching career at Miami Central High School as an assis- tant coach.

Cantankerous. Agonizing. Dreadful. Wonderful. These are all adjectives used to describe that holiest of grails in college football — the search for No. 1. To settle countless arguments Sports Illustrated in 1970 researched the first and only complete and wholly accurate list ever compiled of college football's mythical national champions. Every recognized authority that ever presumed to name a No. 1 is included. They include Parke H. Davis Ratings (1889-1935), the Helms Athletic Foundation (1889-1970), the Dickinson System (1924- 1940), the Illustrated Football Annual (1924-1941), The Football Thesaurus (1927-1958), the Dunkel System (1929-1970), the Litkenhous System (1934-1970), the Williamson System (1932-1963), the Associated Press (1936-1970), the United Press international (1950-1970), the Football Writers Association of America (1954-1970), and the National Football Hall of Fame (1959-1970). In all of college football, only 42 different schools have claimed a national championship, and only 28 have managed to win two national titles. As shown below, the University of Pittsburgh is 6th to properly rank as one of the nation's all-time great football names. No. 1 Championships Pitt's National Champions Year Record Coach Selector 1.

Jock Sutherland Dr. John Bain (Jock) Sutherland was a great player and coach at Pitt. Entering Pitt within a few years after he left his native Scotland, he was a regular guard on the great Pitt teams of 1914-1917—teams that lost but one game during the entire period. Upon graduation, with a dental degree in 1918, he went into the service, coached the Camp Greenleat Team with the AEF, then came back to the coaching job at Lafayette. Four years later, in 1924, he replaced Pop Warner at Pitt, and after getting the foundation laid. put the‘Panthers back into the first line again. There were national titles in 1927, 1929, 1936 and 1937: Eastern honors in 1925, 1927, 1929, 1931, 1932, 1934, 1936, and 1937. Rose Bowl appearances in 1928. 1930 and 1933, climaxed with a win in 1937. All-Americans were turned out with regularity during this period. Leaving Pitt in 1939, he coached Brooklyn in 1940 and 1941, then went into the Navy. Upon his return he took over the Pittsburgh Steelers, giving them their greatest day until recent history He died unexpectedly in the Spring of 1948. Bob Peck Bob Peck was Pitt's initial first team All-America, being selected by Walter Camp in 1915 and 1916. in both of these years Pitt was undefeated, and in his sophomore year, 1914. the Panthers lost only one game. He was captain of the 1916 Pitt team that is rated among the greatest of all time, both at Pitt and in the nation. Playing under Pop Warner. Pitt‘s coach during his last two years, he was a terrific roving center of the old variety, and an accurate passing center who could lead the speedy Pitt backs on the famous single and double wing attack which Warner was then perfecting. After his graduation he moved to Culver Military Academy where he was athletic director and head coach until his unexpected death in 1934. Marshall Goldberg Marshall Goldberg came to Pitt from Elkins, West Virginia, and for the three years of his varsity career was the most highly publicized and popular back in Pitt history until Tony Dorsett came along. These three years. coincidental with Jock Sutherland’s last three as Pitt's head coach. saw the Panthers win a national title, a Rose Bowl game, and two eastern champion- ships, In two years as the regular left halfback Goldberg was the leading scorer and leading ground gainer, and then, moving to fullback with the famous Dream Backfield of 1938. he became a terrific blocker and power back, despite his relative lack of weight (185). He was a defensive expert during his three years and starred at this phase when he went into pro ball. On campus he was a member of Phi Epsilon Pi, national social fraternity, and ODK, national honorary leadership society. Upon graduation he played pro ball and was in the insurance business in Chicago, served nearly four years as a line officer in the Navy, and then finished his pro career with the Chicago Cardinals when they won their first title. He is owner of Marshall Goldberg Machine Tools, Ltd., of Flosemont, IL. George McLaren George McLaren, who came to Pitt from Peabody High School, is considered the greatest fullback in the school's history. He played four years, 1915-1918, and during this period, the Panthers compiled a 29-0 record. McLaren was captain of the 1918 team. McLaren scored 13 touchdowns in 1917 and also holds the one-season rushing mark by a Pitt fullback with 782 yards. He also holds the longest run from scrimmage, 92 yards in 1917. He was never stopped without making a gain during his intercollegiate career. McLaren also was a member of the basketball team for two years and a performer on the track squad for two campaigns. He was elected a Varsity Letterman of Distinction. McLaren resided in the Baltimore area before his death in 1965. Herb Stein Herb Stein came to Pitt from Warren, Ohio, and for four years was one of the greatest offensive and defensive centers in Panther history. A member of the great “Pop" Warner teams in 1918-21, he was named as a first-team All-American in 1921. During his four years, Pitt won 21, lost five and tied four. His brother. Russ, was also an All-American tackle at Washington 8. Jefferson. 95 .. . Hall of Fame Tom Davies A two-time All-American halfback, Tom Davies ranks as one of Pitt's greatest backs. After prepping at Kiski, Davies entered Pitt in 1918 and was named on the last Walter Camp's All-America team as a freshman under Glenn Scobie (Pop) Warner. Davies was a regular for four seasons and was again named All-America in 1920. He holds three Pitt punt return records and ranks third in the all-time total years gained department with 3,931 yards.

A native of Beaver Falls, Pa., Thompson came to Pitt in 1904 (after attending Geneva) and led the Panthers to their first undefeated season. In compiling a 10-0 record, Pitt gave up only five points to opponents. He captained the team in 1905 and in his three years the Panthers achieved an excellent 26-6 mark. After taking over the coaching chores in 1908, Thompson compiled a four-year record of 30-14-2. His 1910 team was not only undefeated (9-0) but also unscored upon. Hube Wagner Hube Wagner came to Pitt from Monaca High School in 1910 and immediately became a member of the great Panther team which went undefeated, untied and unscored upon. While primarily an end. he filled in at every other position except quarterback because of his great versatility. When old timers talk of all-time Pitt greats Wagner's name always comes early in the conversations. Competing against such opponents as Notre Dame, Penn State, the famous Carlisle Indians, Navy, Cornell, West Virginia, Bucknell, etc.. he was sensational because of wild tackling and his powerful ball carrying. He never, however, made the Walter Camp All-America team because that famous selector did not see Pitt play until 1915. He became an outstanding surgeon and for 12 years was a member of the University Board of Trustees. He was also elected a Varsity Letterman of Distinction. Wagner died in 1979. Herb Mccracken Herb Mccracken, a native of Sewickley, was one of the most versatile and also one of the lightest football players in Pitt history. He made up in football instinct and desire for any lack of size, and those same attributes made him a successful coach. He was a varsity player under Pop Warner from 1918-20, participating at halfback, fullback, guard, end and center. He also played three years of basketball, captaining the team his senior year. He went on to achieve outstanding coaching records at Allegheny College and Lafayette. Herb left coaching in 1935 to co-found Scholastic Magazine, Inc. He has served as a trustee of both Pitt and Lafayette. He is a Varsity Letterman of Distinction. Joe Donchess Last fall, Dr. Joseph C. Donchess became the 11th former Pitt football player to be inducted (posthumously) into the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame. A standout end for Coach Jock Sutherland from 1927-29, Joe was an integral cog on a team that went 23-4-2 during his career. in 1929, when the Panthers went 9-1 and won the the National Championship, Donchess was voted first-team All-America. Giving additional credence to his prowess, Joe is a member of Pitt's All-Time Team (1910-1978). 96 After his undergraduate days at Pitt, Joe attended the Pitt School of Medicine and became a doctor in 1932. While attending medical school, he also coached the Pitt football team from 1930-32. He coached the ends for Dartmouth from 1933-37 while doing graduate work in their school of medicine.

He played both offensive and defensive end. At 205 pounds, Skladany played the strong side on the Panthers’ unbalanced offensive line and anchored the defensive line from his defensive end position. with Joe leading the way, the 1933 defense allowed a mere two touchdowns en route to an 8-1 record. During his stay at Pitt, the Panthers posted a 24-3-2 record. Skladany was elected to the Pioneer Division of the Hall of Fame, the section reserved for athletes who starred before 1934.
