The Pitt radio broadcast team is again com- prised by: Bill Hillgrove, Johnny Sauer and Tony Mason. The trio, in their second year as a group, gives Pitt one of the top broadcasting teams in college football. Hillgrove has been the “Voice of the Panthers” on football broadcasts the last 14 years, and has been calling Pitt basketball play- by-play for the past 18 seasons. A well-known Pittsburgh sports personality, Hillgrove has been WTAE—TV’s Sports Director since 1979 and has served as Pitt ambassador of good will. He sup- ports all Pitt athletic teams, attends Golden Panthers functions, and emcees numerous events around the city. Sauer and Mason put their impressive college football backgrounds to good use on the air. Sauer, who played on Army’s tremendous 1945 team featuring Glenn Davis and Doc Blanchard, coached at The Citadel and led the College All- Stars against the NFL Champion Green Bay Packers in 1966 and 1967. Sauer broadcast NFL football on CBS for l2 seasons, as both play- by—play man and color commentator. He has been on the broadcast team since 1974, although he has missed two seasons. Mason, formerly a head coach at Cincinnati and Arizona, has a special insight into Pitt football — his running back coach at both jobs was current Panther head coach Mike Gottfried. Mason will provide live sideline reports, including injury updates, personnel changes and strategy analysis. Hillgrove and Sauer will join together for the post—game show, which features a locker room report with Mike Gottfried, updated scores and reports from across the country, and an analysis of that day’s game and future opponents. COACHES COACHES Head Coach - Mike Gottl ed One of the innate qualities of most successful college football programs is coaching stability. The positive synergy resulting from long-term coaching tenures can unify and galvanize a univer- sity community — as well as translate into victo- ries on the field. Winning traditions begin with coaches who are winners. On April 18, 1988, the University of Pittsburgh reaffirmed its conviction that Mike Gottfried is a winner — on the field and off ~ by announcing it had signed its 43-year-old head coach to a new long—term, multi-year contract. “We feel he’s the right man,“ Pitt Athletics Director Edward E. Bozik said, “and he’s our man." At the press conference announcing the con- tract extension, Gottfried discussed somc of his past and future career goals, and described how a persuasive letter he had received from a former Pitt tight end last November convinced him that Pitt was the right place for him to be. “In the letter, he made several references to the University of Pittsburgh as his school,” Gottfried said. “He wrote, ‘You can establish yourself an I knew I had found a unique situation at Pitt. 1 just feel at home here. ’ ’ —Mike Gottfried identity that will carry you through a football career. You and Pitt can rise together.“’ The letter had a tremendous impact. The former tight end was Chicago Bears Head Coach Mike Ditka, who is enshrined in both the College Football Hall of Fame and the Pro Foot- ball Hall of Fame. “After l got the letter from Mike, I did a reas- sessment of where l was going in coaching. l knew I had found a unique situation at Pitt. I just feel at home here." Gottfried is a dedicated, hard-working man, and he demands identical qualities out of the young men he coaches. His expectations were established from the beginning, when he was named Pitt’s 29th head football coach in Decem- ber, 1985. “We had three criteria when we decided to look for a new coach: intelligence, integrity and loy- alt_v,“ Bozik said. “When we interviewed Mike it was obvious he had those three things. To be quite honest, there never was a second choice." Gottfried directed the Panthers to a 5-5-1 rec- ord, including a 10-9 victory over Notre Dame in his first season. More important than wins and losses was the attitude he instilled — an attitude premised on complete dedication to Pitt football. His second season was all the more satisfying. He guided Pitt to wins over West Virginia, Notre Dame, and Penn State en route to an 8-4 record capped by an invitation to the Bluebonnet Bowl. It was the Panthers’ first bowl appearance since 1983. To comprehend Gottfried’s impact on Pitt foot- ball, consider his first two recruiting classes. They were both rated in the Top 10in the country, an indication of the direction the program is headed. “Mike Gottfried is doing a wonderful job,” said legendary Pro Football Hall-of-Famer Sid Gillman, who volunteered his assistance to Gott- fried for most of last season. “The discipline he’s brought to this squad is absolutely terrific. It’s the best program going.” rte discipline he ’s brought to this squad is absolutely terrific. It ’s the best program going. ’ ’ -Pro Football Hall-oi-Famer Sid Gillman Athletic Director Ed Bozik congratulates Mike Gottfried on his long-term commitment to Pitt. 11 is not coincidental that Gottfried’s progres- sion from quarterback at Morehead State to high school and college coach to coaching at Pitt has been a rapid one. Known as one of the most innovative passing minds in football (he has lectured the Dallas Cow- boys on the subject) Gottfried started coaching at Norwalk (Ohio) St. Paul,High School in 1967. He was a high school coach in his native Ohio for seven years before moving on to become offensive coordinator at Youngstown State University in 1974. That year, he helped YSU to an 8-1 record and the NCAA Division II playoffs. Gottfried was the offensive backfield coach at the University of Cincinnati in 1975 and 1976. He held a similiar position at the University of Ari- zona in 1977. in 1978, Murray State afforded Gottfried his first collegiate head coaching opportunity. He compiled a 22-1 1-1 record in three seasons there. He returned to Cincinnati as head coach in 1981 and guided the Bearcats — who had won only two of 11 games for two consecutive years — to back- to-back 6-5 marks. This was despite having a schedule that included Pitt, Penn State, Florida State, South Carolina, Alabama and Miami of Florida. Gottfried was named head coach at Kansas in 1983. Despite inheriting a team that finished 2-7-2 the previous year, Gottfried coached the Jay- hawks to a 4-6-1 record. In 1984, he was selected the Associated Press Big Eight Coach of the Year, leading Kansas to a 5-6 mark and a victory over Oklahoma, then ranked No. 2 in the nation. Kansas was 6-6 in Gottfried’s final season there, before he traveled east to Pitt. ‘‘I really feel good about Pittsburgh, the people and the city,” Gottfried said. ‘‘I’m going to keep working hard to put this program back where it belongs: where each year we have a chance to win, a chance to compete in a bowl game, a chance to be in the Top 20, and, occasionally, a chance to compete for the national title.” Gottfried’s influence on Pitt and the city of Pittsburgh goes beyond the football field. He eagerly devotes himself to community service - the Special Olympics, Fellowship of Christian Athletes and other charitable functions. Those who have seen Gottfried interacting with others appreciate the genuine qualities he possesses. He is, above all, a caring man. One story clearly exemplifies Gottfried’s principles. Last winter, a walk—on player on the Pitt team was in a financial predicament and close to drop- ping out of school. He was not athletically talented enough to receive a grant-in—aid, but Gottfried nonetheless gave him one. ‘‘I don’t know that you’ll ever play a down here,” Gottfried told the young man. “l’ll tell you how you can pay me back. Study hard. Graduate. Be a good person.” Typical Mike Gottfried. He is a winner, worthy of being afforded coach- ing stability. 66 oach Gottfried is a person with high in- tegrity, and he embod- ies the value systems that are important to the University of Pitts- burgh. Our football program is in the right hands. ” —Pitt President Dr. Wesley Posvar “We feel strongly that in Coach Mike Gottfried we have the ideal person to provide the leadership and direction necessary to ensure that Pitt remains one of the elite football programs in the country,” Pitt President Dr. Wesley Posvar said. “Coach Gottfried is a person with high integrity, and he embodies the value systems that are important to the University of Pittsburgh. Our football program is in the right hands.” Coaching Experience: High School — Norwalk (Ohio) St. Paul, 1967-70, head coach; Struthers (Ohio), 1972-73, head coach.

He was a three—year letterman at Villanova, graduating in 1979, and was the recipient of the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame Scholarship at West Orange High School. D’Alonzo entered the coaching profession at Mount Olive High School in his native New Jersey. He was a defensive coordinator there for two years, before taking a similar job at Rox- bury High School. He coached the offensive line at Oklahoma State in 1983. D’Alonzo then moved to Iowa State, where for two seasons, he was the defen- sive ends coach. In 1986, D’Alonzo joined the Pitt coaching staff as the defensive ends coach. His responsi- bilities were expanded last year to include the entire defensive line. Football is important to the D’Alonzo family. His father, Frank, was coach and athletic direc- tor at West Orange (NJ) Mountain High School, and his uncle, Pete, played from 1958-61 with the Detroit Lions. coaching Information: High School — Mt.

J Sal Sunseri Linebackers Sal Sunseri begins his fourth season on the Pitt coaching staff after an All-America career as a Panthers linebacker. Sunseri played on some of the greatest defenses in college football at Pitt, including the top-ranked unit in the nation in 1981. Prior to that, he teamed with Dan Marino at nearby Central Catholic High School. He was known as an emotional player, a sparkplug for players and fans alike, and has installed the same aggressiveness in his linebackers. The four years that Sal Sunseri spent wearing number 66 for the Blue and Gold were some of the most impressive in Pitt history. The teams accumulated a 41-7 record, including victories in three of four bowl games. Three consecutive years they finished with an 11-1 record. In those years, the defense, led by Sunseri, Hugh Green, et al., allowed 11 points a game. Sunseri has spent his entire life, including his professional career, in Pittsburgh. The Steelers drafted him in 1982, but a training camp injury ended his career. He returned to Pitt as a volunteer assistant and became Foge Fazio’s defensive line coach in 1985. That year, Pitt placed in the top 10 in the nation in rushing defense. Sunseri became line- backer coach in 1986. coaching Experience: college — University of Pittsburgh, 1984, graduate assistant, 1985, defensive line coach, 1986-87, linebacker coach. Personal Information: Born 8/1/59. Hometown: Pittsburgh, PA. Alma Mater: Pitt ’82. Married to the former Roxann Evans, who was a varsity gymnast at Pitt, and the father of Jaclyn Elizabeth (1). Scott O’Brien Special Teams Scott O’Brien begins his second season as the special teams coach. He is Pitt’s first full-time special teams coach, although this year he will also work with the weakside linebackers. O’Brien played college football at his hometown school, Wisconsin-Superior. He was signed by the Green Bay Packers in 1979 and the Toronto Argonauts in 1980. His three previous coaching assignments all involved linebackers and special teams: Wisconsin-Superior from 1980 to 1982, Univer- sity of Nevada-Las Vegas from 1983 to 1985 and Rice in 1986. While at UNLV, O’Brien earned his Master’s degree in education. His wife, Shawn, is close to completing her Ph.D. in psychology at Pitt. “Special teams should win close games,” O’Brien said. “We call special teams the ‘No Second—Chance Team.’ On offense, if you throw an incomplete pass, you can come back and try it again. When you give up a first down on defense, you start over. With special teams, you don’t get a second chance. There must be total execution and concentration every time.” coaching Experience: college — Wisconsin- Superior, 1980-82, linebackers and special teams; Nevada-Las Vegas, 1983-85, outside linebackers and special teams; Rice, 1986, outside line- backers and special teams; University of Pitts- burgh, 1987, special teams.

Alex Kramer Alex Kramer begins his tenth year as an administrative assistant to the Pitt football pro- gram, but his ties to the University go back long before that. He was the Panthers’ student foot- ball manager from 1948-51, rooming with Pro Football Hall of Famer Joe Schmidt. After graduating from Pitt, Kramer worked for the Moon Area School District. He left his position as Director of Curriculum to return to Pitt in 1978. “My assignments include making the team’s travel arrangements, serving as liaison with other offices and departments within the univer- sity, and expanding the human services that Pitt football players provide to the community,” Kramer said. He is active in nearly every athletic depart- ment function, and his love for Pitt football is evidenced by his office walls, which look like a scrapbook of “Who’s Who in Pitt Football”. Kramer remains a visible part of Pitt football. He greets visitors to the football office, and he can be seen on the sidelines at practice as well as during games. Personal lntormation: Born 7/28/29. Hometown: Pittsburgh, PA. Alma Mater: Pitt '52, M.A. Pitt ’6l. Married to the former Betty McCormick and the father of Charles (30) and Michele (26). Administrative Assistant Bud Ratliff Recruiting Coordinator U. « zaé Charles “Buddy” Morris Strength Coordinator Allen R. “Bud” Ratliff is in his third season as Pitt’s recruiting coordinator, and in that time, the Panthers have assembled what are consid- ered to be two straight Top 10 recruiting classes. Ratliff, in turn, is considered one of the best recruiting coordinators in the country. He has worked with Mike Gottfried since 1984, when he became recruiting coordinator at Kansas. But their association dates back long before that, to their days at Crestline (OH) High School. Ratliff was the center, Gottfried the quarterback. Although Ratliff’s job is now primarily off the field, he does have coaching experience. He worked at Morehead State for one season after graduation in 1972, then was an assistant coach at Struthers (OH) High School, while Gottfried was the head coach. Buddy Morris is beginning his ninth season at Pitt, helping to organize and operate one of the most successful collegiate weight rooms in the country: The Pitt lron Works. The Iron Works is busy every day of the year; Morris recognizes the importance of weight training. “Strength isn’t permanent,” Morris says. “Weight training helps keep players free from injury.” Morris is, in part, responsible for the physical development of NFL stars Bill Fralic, Jimbo Covert, Russ Grimm, Jim Sweeney and Dan Marino, among others. Many still return to work out at Pitt in the off-season. A graduate of South Park High School, Morris attended Indiana State for one year He then moved to Youngstown State as offen- sive line coach and was a head coach at South Central, Indian Lake, and Bucyrus High Schools in Ohio before moving to Kansas. Personal Information: Born 1/23/45. Hometown: Crestline, OH. Alma Mater: More- head State ’72. Married to the former Barbara DeRodes and the father of Rob (21) and Becci (18). before transferring to Pitt. He ran track for the Panthers and was a letterman from 1977-80. Personal Information: Born 9/29/57. Hometown: Pittsburgh, PA. Alma Mater: Pitt ’80. Married to former Pitt high jumper Karen Krichko and the father of Kara Leigh (2). Ray Oliver Conditioning Coach Ray “Rock” Oliver begins his third season at Pitt after working with Mike Gottfried at Kansas and Cincinnati. Oliver, a 1984 Kansas graduate, worked with all Pitt’s varsity sports, including the Big East champion Pitt basketball team last winter, help- ing improve the strength of NBA first-round draft choices Charles Smith and Jerome Lane. He has spent the previous two football sea- sons working with strength coach Buddy Morris, and will oversee the Panthers’ conditioning this season. Oliver has studied dietary habits and their effects on athletes, and has implemented an individual nutrition program for the 1988 Panthers. He was a defensive back and special teams player at Ohio State in 1980-81 before transfer- ring to Cincinnati. He ran the weight room there while Mike Gottfried was coach, then moved with him to Kansas in 1983. Personal Information: Born 6/19/61. Hometown: Cincinnati, OH. Alma Mater: Kansas ’84. Married to the former Winone Person and the father of Ashley Rhae (nine months). 13 14 COACHES Graduate Assistant Coaches Rocky Alt is in his first season as a graduate assistant at Pitt. Originally from Crestline, OH, Alt was an All-State quarterback before moving on to Wittenberg University, where he was an honor- able mention Little All—American in 1970. He also played on the baseball team. He began his coaching career in 1972, work- ing for Mike Gottfried at Struthers (OH) High School. Alt became the quarterback and receivers coach at Marshall in 1974. After working one year each at Hamilton (OH) Taft High School, Wittenberg, and South- ern Illinois University, Alt was named head coach at Center Grove (IN) High School, a posi- tion he held from 1980-83. He was the offensive coordinator at Morehead State in 1984 and 1985, and the running backs coach at Kansas the last two years. Alt is married to the former Sue Lewis and is the father of Traci (18) and Brian (11). John Cervino, in his first year at Pitt, will work with Frank D’Alonzo coaching the defensive line. A graduate of West Virginia Wesleyan College, Cervino coached the offensive backfield at Mercyhurst College in 1984 and 1985. He was a graduate assistant at Ohio State in 1986, and coached the running backs at Western Maryland last year. Cervino, originally from Norristown, PA, earned three letters at West Virginia Wesleyan, as a defensive back and on special teams. He is married to the former Bee Bee Petrone. Bill D’Ottavio is in his second season at Pitt, where he is working with the defensive backs. D’Ottavio learned his position as a defensive back at Roxbury (NJ) High School and Millers- ville University. His coach at Roxbury was current Pitt coach Frank D’Alonzo. Last season, D’Ottavio worked with the defensive line, aiding D’Alonzo. He worked as an assistant coach at Millers- ville following graduation in 1985, coaching the running backs for one season. Frank Gansz, Jr., is in his first year at Pitt, working primarily with the offensive line. He has been involved with football most of his life. His father, Frank Gansz, Sr., is the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs. After an outstanding career at Sycamore High School in Cincinnati, Gansz attended The Cita- del, where he lettered at defensive back for two seasons. He graduated in 1985 with a bachelor’s degree in history. Following graduation, Gansz had the opportu- nity to work at the Chiefs’ training camp, where he learned from such standout performers as Carlos Carson and Stephone Paige. He was a graduate assistant at Kansas in 1987. Willie “Skip” Peete Ill Skip Peete came to Pittsburgh in April to rejoin Mike Gottfried, his former head coach at Kansas. Peete will work with the wide receivers — a position he earned All-Big 8 honors playing in 1984. Peete, a native of Tucson, won two letters at the University of Arizona before transferring to Kansas. He spent last season on the New York Jets’ injured reserve list. Football is a way of life in the Peete family. His father, Willie, Jr., is the running back coach with the Green Bay Packers. His younger brother, Rodney, is the quarterback at Southern Cal and a Heisman Trophy hopeful. 1988 PREVIEW 1988 PREVIEW 1988 Preseason Predictions (as of July 20, 1988) National Team Ranking Source Ranking College and Pro Football Newsweekly 9th Football Action 9th Football Digest 20th Street & Smith ’s College Football Yearbook 20th The Sporting News College Football Yearbook 23rd All-America Player Source Mark Stepnoski (G) NFL Draft Report, First Team College and Pro Football Newsweekly, First Team Football Digest Football Action The Sporting News (#2 rated guard) Street & Smith ’s Burt Grossman (DE) NFL Draft Report, First Team Game Plan, Second Team Street & Smith ’s Dean Caliguire (C) College and Pro Football Newsweekly, Second Team Jerry Olsavsky (LB) Don Heinrich ’s College Football, Second Team All-East and All-Independent Player Source Mark Stepnoski (G) Athlon, All-East Street & Smith '5, All-East The Sporting News, First Team All—lndependent FootballAction, All—lndependent Team Burt Grossman (DE) Athlon, All-East Street & Smith ’s, All-East The Sporting News, Second—Team All—lndependent Don Heinrich ’s College Football, All—lndependent Team FootballAction, All-Independent Team Dean Caliguire (C) Athlon, All-East Jerry Olsavsky (LB) Athlon, All-East The Sporting News, Second Team All-Independent Don Heinrich ’s College Football, All—lndependent Team FootballAction, All—lndependent Team Marc Spindler (DT) Athlon, All-East Street & Smith ’s, All-East Don Heinrich ’s College Football, All—lndependent Team Football Action, All—lndependent Team Billy Osborn (WR) Don Heinrich ’s College Football, All—lndependent Team Troy Washington (FS) Street & Smith ’s, All-East Don Heinrich ’s College Football, All-Independent Team Reggie Williams (WR) Street & Smith ’s, All-East Don Heinrich ’s College Football, Second Team All—lndependent Other Player Rankings all from The Sporting News Mark Stepnoski #2 Guard #5 Outland Trophy Candidate #9 Lombardi Trophy Candidiate Burt Grossman #9 Defensive End Jerry Olsavsky #14 Inside Linebacker Wide Receivers #2 among independents Recruiting Class Rankings Source Ranking Game Plan 3rd Inside Sports 3rd Don Heinrich ’s College Football 4th Athlon’s Max Emfinger 7th Sports Fans’ Journal Tom Lemmings 8th Pitt Recruits in Max Emtinger’s Top 100 #10 Mike Chalenski, LB, Kenilworth, NJ #15 Curtis Bray, LB, Monroeville, PA #52 Calvert Jones, T, Evington, VA #67 Baron Jackson, WR, Baton Rouge, LA Top: Guard Mark Stepnoski, Defensive End Burr Grossman, Receiver Henry Turen, and Free Safety Tray Washington. 1988 Outlook Mike Gottfried coached Pitt back to promi- nence last year, guiding the Panthers to the Blue- bonnet Bowl on the way to an 8-4 season. It was a reflection of Pitt teams past. Considering what Gottfried and his players have accomplished in the last two seasons, the expectations will be even higher in 1988. But will Pitt be capable of once again moving into the Top 10? No one knows. In the preseason predictions, the Panthers have been picked to finish anywhere between ninth and 23rd, indicating that this is a difficult team to assess. Pitt lost some vital components from last year: Craig Heyward, Ezekial Gadson, Jon Carter, Quintin Jones, Gary Richard, Billy Owens, Jerry Wall and Ed Miller. Each of these players is now pursuing an NFL career. Improvements from the younger players — players who now know winning’s necessities — and from the freshman class is crucial if Pitt is to continue progressing. “We know what we have defensively," Gott- fried said, “but offensively, we have a lot of work ahead of us. There are decisions that have to be made.” Defense has been the foundation behind all Pitt teams, and that could be the situation again. Burt Grossman and Marc Spindler anchor an imposing line; Jerry Olsavsky is one of the most aggressive linebackers in the country; and Troy Washington will lead the secondary. Gottfried will probably return to a more balanced offense in 1988, after giving Craig Hey- ward most of the responsibility last year. He has a potent offensive line to work with: preseason All- American guard Mark Stepnoski, All—East center Dean Caliguire, Tom Ricketts, Roman Matusz, Bill Cherpak and Chris Goetz. “We have the potential to be a good football team,” Gottfried said. “But it may take time.” Offense Wide Receiver SE FL Henry Tuten Bill Osborn Reggie Williams Hosea Heard Baron Jackson Darrin Gillaspie Marc Williams Chris Bouyer Although Pitt was primarily a running team last year, there is depth, experience, and talent at wide receiver. Reggie Williams came off a broken leg suffered in 1986 to catch a team—leading 31 passes for 535 yards. Bill Osborn, the only senior among the returning receivers, was once again depend- able and versatile, grabbing 26 passes for 341 yards. After learning the system last season, Henry Tuten is expected to contribute even more. He had an impressive spring, and will challenge Williams for the starting split end spot. Hosea Heard had four touchdowns in only six catches last season and had a strong spring performance. Expected to contribute significantly is highly- touted freshman Baron Jackson. Offensive Line LT RG Tom Ricketts Mark Stepnoski Scott Hart Dan Anderson Mike LiVorio Tony Delazio LG RT Chris Goetz Roman Matusz Bill Cherpak Brett Hubinger Dave Dixon Scott Miller Joe Battista Calvert Jones C Dean Caliguire John Glesky Eric Holzworth Chris Sestili Assistant coach Bill Meyers feels Pitt has one of the top offensive lines in the country, and there is evidence to support that thinking. Guard Mark Stepnoski, coming off a season in which he was hampered by injuries, is a preseason All-American and Outland Trophy candidate. He is another in a line of outstanding Pitt linemen — Bill Fralic, Russ Grimm, Jimbo Covert, Jim Sweeney, and Mark May, among others. Dean Caliguire, an Associated Press first—team All-East guard last season, will move to center, his natural position. Pitt features a pair of imposing, 6—foot—5 tackles, Tom Ricketts and Roman Matusz. The other guard will be Chris Goetz. He will be challenged by Bill Cherpak, a part—time starter last year. The freshman class is outstanding, with tackles Mike LiVorio and Calvert Jones and guard Tony Dela- zio all expected to play. Tight End Vernon Kirk David Tanczos Tom Huebner Dave Moore With its reliance on running, Pitt tight ends were primarily used as blockers last season. Eric Seaman's four receptions were the only recorded by a Pitt tight end all year. He has since moved to defensive end, leaving the position wide open. A solid athlete, senior Vernon Kirk is the early frontrunner. David Tanczos and Tom Huebner, both occasional starters last year, will challenge Kirk for playing time. 17 1988 PREVIEW 1988 Outlook (cont.) Fullback Dan Crossman Jeff Christy Shaon Berry Steve Aungst Steve Gahr Derrick Lewis ln a complete reversal, last year’s starting full- backs, Louis Riddick and Prentiss Wright, have switched to defense while two defensive players, Dan Crossman and Jeff Christy, are at fullback. Crossman had an outstanding spring, winning the 110% Award, given to the player “who plays each down like it’s the Super Bowl.” Christy, at 6-2, 235 pounds, has a fullback’s physique. He was an excellent runner and blocker in high school and experimented there last year as a freshman. But he remains untested. Derrick Lewis, Shoan Berry, 38 carries last season. Walker brings speed and finesse to the backfield. He will be challenged by freshman Curvin Richards, a darting 5-foot-10 speedster from Texas. Ronald Redmon sat out last year, but was impressive in the spring. Freshmen Ricky Turner and Jay Murray will also compete. Quarterback Darnell Dickerson/Larry Wanke Yusef Washington Alex Van Pelt Kieran Scanlon Dean ElAttrache One of the most intriguing situations is at quar- terback, which should be a battle between Darnell Dickerson and Larry Wanke. Dickerson started the final four games of last season, displaying a rifle arm and excellent mobility. But he was injured and replaced by Wanke, another sopho- Steve Aungst, and Steve Gahr are other candidates. Taflback Adam Walker Ronald Redmon Curvin Richards Ricky Turner Jay Murray Eric Mathieson John Harper Adam Walker is the only returning running back with experience, having gained 214 yards on 18 more, in the Bluebonnet Bowl. Wanke responded by passing for 172 yards and three touchdowns. While Dickerson missed spring practice because of the leg injury, Wanke won the John Michelosen Award as the spring’s most valuable offensive back. Four others will also work at quarterback: Yusef Washington, who sat out last season; fresh- man Alex Van Pelt; Kieran Scanlon, the winning quarterback in the Blue—Gold game; and sopho- more Dean ElAttrache. Defense End LE RE Carnel Smith Burt Grossman Nelson Walker Eric Seaman Mike Miniotas Kelly Fortune Senior Burt Grossman seems primed to evoke the lofty comparisons made of all talented Pitt defensive ends, comparisons to former Panther greats Hugh Green, Rickey Jackson, and Chris Doleman. Grossman, a preseason All—American, followed a solid junior season — 80 tackles, five sacks — with a dedicated spring. Carnel Smith, who started six games last year, will be the left end. Smith had 48 tackles and three sacks a year ago. This could be one of Pitt’s most talented positions, considering reserves Nelson Walker and Eric Seaman are both outstanding players. Walker was especially impressive last season as a fresh- man, making 30 tackles in limited action. Seaman has moved to defense after starting at tight end in 1987. Freshman Mike Miniotas is another player to watch. Tackle LT RT Richard Allen Marc Spindler Tom Sims Jeff Esters Jim Royal Gary Gorajewski Even more will be expected from Marc Spindler in 1988, after a brilliant freshman season in which he was named to the Head of the Class of fresh- men defensive linemen by The Sporting News. Although only 17 years old last year, Spindler was Pitt’s most dominating lineman, finishing second on the team with 106 tackles. He became only the fourth freshman in Pitt history to start all 12 games — the others being Tony Dorsett, Hugh Green, and Bill Fralic. Redshirt freshman Richard Allen replaces the injured Tony Siragusa at left tackle. Siragusa, a starter since his sophomore year, underwent reconstructive knee surgery in the spring and will miss the season. Tom Sims, a transfer from Western Michigan, will play. Two freshmen will be relied upon at this position: Jeff Esters and Gary Gorajewski. Linebacker WLB SLB Prentiss Wright Todd Pipkin Eryck Griffin Mike Chalenski Curtis Bray Ricardo McDonald Heath Snell Shawn Abinet MLB Ken Radinick Jerry Olsavsky Craig Gob Mark Altsman Mike Boykin Mark Shemanski Middle linebacker Jerry Olsavsky, rated the nation’s 14th best inside linebacker by The Sport- ing News, will once again be viewed as the leader of the Pitt defense. Not a big middle linebacker by today’s standards, the 6-foot-2, 218-pound Olsavsky combines savvy and skill. He has made 228 tackles in the last two seasons, the most on the team. With the graduations of All-American Zeke Gadson and Jerry Wall, it appeared Pitt would have problems on the outside. How do you replace Gadson’s team-record 24'/2 sacks and Wal1’s reliability? But the Panthers recruited two of the top high school linebackers in the country, Curtis Bray and Mike Chalenski. Bray, the Gatorade/Circle of Champions Player of the Year, will battle for Gadson’s weakside position with Prentiss Wright, a converted fullback who settled into linebacker in spring practice. Another freshman, Heath Snell, could also see playing time. The other side still remains open. It should be a competition between redshirt freshman Todd Pipkin, Chalenski, and possibly even freshmen Ricardo McDonald, Shawn Abinet and Ken Radi- nick. Jeff Christy was the starting strongside line- backer at the end of spring practice, but has since been switched to fullback. Craig Gob won the Johnny Majors Award for the most valuable defensive back/linebacker in spring practice and will back up Olsavsky. Secondary LCB Alonzo Hampton Robert Bradley RC B Cornell Holloway Dave Coleman Barry Threats Todd Finley Dale Banks Ken Abrams SS FS Louis Riddick Troy Washington Marcus Washington Doug Hetzler Chris Ross Clifford Moncrief Anthony Jagers Glenn Deveaux The defensive secondary is the one area most depleted by graduation. Gone are three NFL draft choices — cornerbacks Quintin Jones and Gary Richard and strong safety Billy Owens —— and another player, Teryl Austin, who signed as a free agent. Troy Washington, a Street & Smith ’5 preseason All—East selection, is the only returning starter. He led the team with two interceptions last year, and has demonstrated the ability to direct the defense from his free safety spot. Cornell Holloway and Alonzo Hampton will be the cornerbacks. Holloway emerged at the end of last season to the point where he played extensively in the Bluebonnet Bowl. Hampton is from the same junior college as Richard, and the two possess similar talents. Robert Bradley, who played in eight games a year ago, should be the nickel back. Replacing Owens is sophomore Louis Riddick. A high school All—American defensive back pressed into playing fullback last year, Riddick returned to the secondary in spring practice. He won the Ed Conway Award as the spring’s most improved defensive player. Special Teams K P Jeff VanHorne John Rasp Scott Kaplan Pitt has experience at punter and place kicker in juniors John Rasp and Jeff VanHorne, respec- tively. Rasp averaged 37.5 yards per punt in 1987 and was named second—team All—East by the Associated Press. VanHorne slipped a bit in 1987 after an outstanding freshman season. He made only 10 of 23 field goal attempts and 23 of 26 extra points. He will be challenged by freshman Scott Kaplan. Return men include Billy Osborn and Henry Tuten on punts, and Alonzo Hampton and possibly Reggie Williams on kickoffs. Dan Crossman, Chris Ross, Craig Gob, Eryck Griffin and Eric Holzworth excel on special teams cover- age. The long—snapper will be Tom Huebner. 19 20 1988 PREVIEW 1988-89 Bowl Games (all times Eastern) ' ' Saturday, December 10, 1988 Saturday, December 31, 1988 .\_ (B:g|lvlf|orn|a FSU Stadium, Fresno, CA Astrodome, Houston, TX \; Big West Champion vs Two At-large berths °“l.'.§.‘l.'l"'“ l§§’l"l:$‘1i3i§Z“i§$‘§ms”‘i2 c ii3§3s§;nS“i"§i‘§§‘%7ol9 , ui u , " ‘ TV; ESPN Fresno, California 93710 7 H TV: Mizlou (713) 520-0816 Kickoff: 4:00 p.m. (209) 224-2695 Kickoff: 8:00 p.m. .

Players who Should Receive All-Star Consideration Mark Stepnoski, Senior Guard Stepnoski is a consensus preseason All-American and Outland Trophy and Lom- bardi Award candidate. Known for his work habits in the classroom as well as the weight room, Mark Stepnoski is ready to join the long list of Pitt offensive line greats, a list which includes Bill Fralic, Mark May, Russ Grimm and Jimbo Covert. “Mark is strong, determined, dedicated and has all the capabilities to live up to his potential,” Pitt head coach Mike Gottfried says. . Jerry Olsavsky, Senior Middle Linebacker Olsavsky has made more than 100 tackles each of the last two years, and has been considered the leader of the defense, which has been among the top 10 in the nation, for two years. “I can’t say enough about his leadership and what he means to us,” Gottfried says. Olsavsky missed three games and most of a fourth last year, and Pitt suffered two of its four losses in those contests. He was named preseason All-East by Athlon. Burt Grossman, Senior Defensive End With 80 tackles in each of the last two seasons, preseason All-American Burt Grossman has displayed an ability to be dominant against the run. Figure in 15 sacks in that time and Grossman becomes one of the most complete linemen in col- lege football. “He’s working hard and showing a lot of leadership,” Gottfried says. Marc Spindler, Sophomore Defensive Tackle Amidst a talented line of Grossman, Tony Siragusa and Jon Carter, Marc Spindler started all 12 games as a freshman and was second on the team with 106 tackles. “Marc was everything we thought he could be as a freshman,” Gottfried says, “and he needs to continue to grow off that performance.” Dean Caliguire, Junior Center Rarely will coaches switch positions for an All-East performer but the Pitt staff feels Caliguire can play even better at center than he did at guard last season. “Dean had a great year in l987,” Gottfried says. “He has a lot of talent.” Caliguire worked at center as a freshman. Billy Osborn, Senior Flanker “He was the most consistent player on our team last year,” Gottfried says of Osborn, a three-sport athlete in football, basketball, and baseball his sophomore season. Osborn’s athleticism is displayed through a variety of football talents: he has made 59 receptions in his two seasons -at flanker, thrown three passes (all com- plete), intercepted a pass as a freshman safety, returned punts, and held for kicks. Last season, Osborn even converted a bad snap on a field goal attempt into a touchdown run. Reggie Williams, Junior Split End Williams’s team-leading numbers in 1987 (31 receptions for 535 yards) would have been considerably higher if not for the talents of other receivers such as Osborn and Hosea Heard. Williams can become Pitt’s all-time leading receiver if he aver- ages 38 receptions over the next two seasons. “Reggie Williams is a consistent, solid receiver,” Gottfried says. Troy Washington, Senior Free Safety With the graduation of NFL draft choices Gary Richard, Quintin Jones, and Billy Owens, Troy Washington’s experience will be a key ingredient in Pitt’s secondary. Washington is an intelligent, dependable player—the ideal person to “quarterback” the defense. He was selected preseason All-East by Street & Smith ’s. Tom Ricketts, Senior Offensive Tackle Tom Ricketts is regarded as one of the premier offensive tackle prospects in college football. At 6-foot-5, 275 pounds, Ricketts has the size and the strength NFL teams are looking for. “Tom Ricketts has developed into one of the best tackles in the country,” offensive line coach Bill Meyers says. “We expect leadership and excellent play from him. He has the size, strength and speed to be one of the best.” CA PS indicate I 987 starters *den0tes letters won 1988 PREVIEW Depth Chan 1 Q I ='.'

The Cougars scored on the game’s first play, a 73-yard bomb from Bob Jensen to Rich Zayas. They would not score another touch- down until the final seconds. The Pitt defense was led by Zeke Gadson, who was named Sports Illustrated’s Defensive Player of the Week by making twelve tackles, recording four sacks, blocking a punt, causing two fumbles and recovering a third. Pitt sacked Jensen 12 times, leading the way to an NCAA 1987 best: -76 yards rushing. Offensively, Pitt made the most of its 12 pass attempts. Sal Genilla fired a 47-yard bomb to Hosea Heard to even the score late in the first quarter. in the second quarter, Genilla’s 30-yard strike to Reggie Williams gave Pitt the lead for good. Craig “lronhead” Heyward, who rushed for 136 yards, tossed a 17-yard option pass to Bill Osborn to give Pitt a 21-7 halftime lead. Jeff VanHorne added two field goals as the Panthers cruised to a 27-7 fourth quarter lead. PITT 7 14 3 3-27 BRIGHAM YOUNG 7 O 0 10-17 First Quarter: BYU—Zayas 73 pass from Jensen (Chitty kick) 14:44.

GAME 2 PITT 34 NORTH CAROLINA STATE 0 PITTSBURGH (September 12)—Pitt put the Wolf- pack away early thanks to two big plays by the defense and the Panthers’ biggest offensive out- put, 557 yards, under Mike Gottfried. Billy Owens tipped Shane Montgomery’s pass on the first play of the game, and Zeke Gadson came up with the interception. Five plays later, Craig Heyward scored from a yard out. Five plays after the kickoff, freshman defen- sive tackle Marc Spindler recovered a fumble at the 50. Henry Tuten took a reverse 45 yards before Heyward scored his second touchdown less than five minutes into the game. Sal Genilla, who passed for a career—high 239 yards, threw second—quarter touchdown passes to Hosea Heard and Reggie Williams. Bill Osborn scored Pitt’s final touchdown for the second straight week by making the best of a bad situation. Osborn was holding for a Jeff VanHorne field goal attempt, but the snap slid through his hands. VanHorne recovered, but quickly pitched back to Osborn. The junior flanker faked a pass and ran 15 yards for the score. Williams caught eight passes for 154 yards, the most by a Pitt receiver since Bill Wallace gained 173 against Penn State in 1983. The Wolfpack was limited to 168 yards, as Zeke Gadson chalked up three sacks to bring his team—high total to seven. It was Pitt’s first shutout since September 10, 1983, when the Panthers defeated Temple, 35-0, at Pitt Stadium. NORTH CAROLINA STATE 0 O O O— O PITT 14 13 7 0-34 First Quarter: Pitt—C.

GAME 3 TEMPLE 24 PITT 21 PITTSBURGH (September 19)—Playing for the first time under the newly installed lights at Pitt Stadium, the Panthers were jolted by a resilient Temple team which stuck firmly to its game plan despite an early 14-0 Pitt lead. “We decided to come out and play bash- ball,” Temple coach Bruce Arians said. That entailed power football, with Todd McNair carrying 41 times, often behind unbalanced formations. Quarterback James Thompson threw only eight passes. Pitt scored on its opening drive, mixing runs by Craig Heyward with Sal Genilla passes to Reggie Williams, the second of which resulted in a 21-yard touchdown. Early in the second quar- ter, Craig Heyward weaved around the left side on a 46-yard touchdown run, the longest of his career to that point. But the Owls were not threatened. A field goal shortly before halftime cut the lead to 14-3. After an aborted Pitt field goal, Thompson aired out a bomb which changed the momentum of the game. Pitt’s Quintin Jones had perfect coverage, but lost the ball in the lights. Rather than~intercept- ing, he unwittingly deflected the ball to Keith Gloster, who carried it for the score. Thompson scored on a short run early in the fourth quarter to give the Owls the victory. Both teams were 2-1. TEMPLE 0 3 10 11-24 PITT 7 7 0 7-21 First Quarter: Pitt-R.

GAME 4 PITT 6 WEST VIRGINIA 3 MORGANTOWN, WV (September 26)—For the first time in 20 years the Panthers were involved in a game which had no touchdowns. The last was also at Morgantown, a 15-0 Pitt loss in 1967. The defense saved this day, with Zeke Gadson making the big plays in the fourth quarter. Gad- son, who made 17 tackles for the second straight week, recovered a fumble to set up Jeff VanHorne’s game winning field goal. The play was set up by an all-out Panther blitz. Mountaineer quarterback Major Harris ducked Billy Owens, but Burt Grossman knocked the ball loose. Gadson pounced on it at the West Virginia 21. After VanHorne’s 40-yard kick gave Pitt a 6-3 lead with 2:45 remaining, the defense still needed one more big play. On first down, former Panther Eugene Napoleon broke loose on a long run-but he nicked the sideline, cut- ting a 65-yard gain down to 17 yards. Three plays later, West Virginia had a fourth—and- seven, when Gadson sacked Harris to put the game away. Other defensive heroes included Troy Washington, who also made 17 tackles, and freshman Marc Spindler, with 14. Offensively, Pitt was without starters Mark Stepnoski and Chris Goetz on the right side of the line, but Bill Cherpak and Roman Matusz stepped in and played well. Craig 1-leyward became the first Pitt back since 1983 to rush for 100 yards in four con- secutive games, picking up 115 yards. His final run was a bruising fourth down carry which enabled Pitt to run out the final seconds. The crowd of 65,079 was the largest ever to see a sporting event in the state of West Virginia.

GAME 5 BOSTON COLLEGE 13 PITT 1O PITTSBURGH (October 3)—A great effort by the Pitt defense was wasted by an ineffective offense and kicking difficulties. The Eagles kicked two first—quarter field goals, each following a Sal Genilla interception. Genilla would throw two more before the rainy night was over. Down 6-0, Pitt put together a nine-play, 57-yard drive, featuring all running plays. Louis Riddick gained 19 yards on two carries, and Prentiss Wright, another freshman fullback, picked up five on one rush. Craig Heyward, on his way to his fifth consecutive 100—yard game, carried six times for 33 yards on the drive, including the final two. Pitt led, 7-6, at the half. Jeff VanHorne missed two third—quarter field goal attempts, but connected from 41 yards early in the fourth quarter to up Pitt’s lead to four. The Eagles answered with a 12-play, 62-yard drive which ate up nearly six minutes. Quarter- back Mike Power broke a tackle on a fourth- and-goal bootleg to give Boston College the win. Zeke Gadson again was the standout for Pitt, making 4'/2 sacks to raise his season total to 15. Riddick, making his first start at fullback, gained 54 yards on 11 carries. “We were our own worst enemy,” Pitt coach Mike Gottfried said. Although Boston College came in averaging over 400 yards a game, Pitt held it to 204 yards and sacked Power eight times. ‘‘I was proud of the way our defense played,” said Gottfried. “We played well enough on that side of the ball to win.” BOSTON COLLEGE 6 0 0 7-13 PITT O 7 0 3-10 First ouarter: BC—Lowe FG 35 10:50.

GAME 6 PITT 3O NOTRE DAME 22 PITTSBURGH (October 10)-With a national televi- sion audience watching, Pitt dominated Notre Dame for 30 minutes, then withstood a late rally to upset the fourth-ranked Irish. Pitt scored touchdowns on four consecutive possessions to take a 27-0 halftime lead. Pitt outgained Notre Dame, 237-91, in the first half and controlled the ball over 22 minutes. Sal Genilla completed three straight passes on a 77-yard drive. He hit Bill Osborn with a short pass which turned into a 30-yard touchdown to give Pitt a 6-0 lead. Gary Richard intercepted a Terry Andrysiak pass on the first play after the kickoff, and Pitt marched 38 yards for the score. Craig Heyward, who set a school-record with 42 rushing attempts, capped the drive with a one—yard dive. Genilla hit Reggie Williams for a two—point conversion. After a Tim Brown fumble, Pitt marched 74 yards in 16 plays, eating up over seven minutes on the drive. Genilla scrambled for 20 yards on a third-and-13, the longest run of his career. Later in the drive, he scored his first career touchdown after a beautiful fake to Heyward. A clipping penalty on the kickoff pushed the Irish back, and when Pitt held, the Panthers took over at Notre Dame’s 33 after a punt. Seven plays later, Heyward scored from a yard out. The Pitt defense stopped a last-minute threat to preserve the Panthers’ third consecu- tive victory against the Fighting Irish. Tony Rice, replacing an injured Andrysiak, brought the Irish back, but Marc Spindler forced him out of bounds to end the final threat.

Craig Heyward, who became Pitt’s third all- time leading rusher, scored the game’s only touchdown, capping an eight—minute drive in the first quarter. Heyward gained 140 yards, marking the sev- enth consecutive game he topped the 100-yard plateau—the second longest streak in Pitt his- tory (Tony Dorsett, 20, 1975-76). The story of the game was the Pitt defense, which never allowed Navy past the 14-yard line. With three minutes remaining, Jerry Wall stopped Alton Grizzard on a fourth-down run to stop Navy’s last serious threat. Wall had ten tackles, as did Zeke Gadson, who continued his torrid sack pace by recording one. Jerry Olsavsky led Pitt with 15 tackles, as the starting linebackers totaled 35 tackles between them. Marc Spindler made 11 hits, including eight solo tackles. After seven games, Pitt stood at 5-2, the best start for the Panthers since 1983. Craig Hey- ward ranked third in the nation in rushing, and Pitt was fourth in total defense. Through seven games, the only first half touchdown Pitt had allowed was a bomb by Brigham Young on the first play of the first game. PITT 7 3 0 0-10 NAVY 0 3 3 0- 6 First Quarter: Pitt—C.

The eighth—ranked Orangemen dominated the first half and although Pitt rallied and threatened in the sec- ond half, Syracuse hung on for the victory. The game had two major points of sig- nificance for Pitt: Craig Heyward topped the 1,000—yard mark for the season, and Darnell Dickerson replaced Sal Genilla at quarterback just before halftime. Dickerson, making his collegiate debut, drove the Panthers to a third-quarter touchdown, and led two other deep penetrations which ended with fourth—down incompletions. Syracuse had taken a 24-3 halftime lead behind the magnificent play of quarterback Don McPherson. He passed for two scores and ran for a third against a defense which had not allowed a first—half touchdown in nearly two months. Zeke Gadson broke Pitt’s 11-year-old single season sack record, passing Randy Holloway on the way to 19'/2 through eight games. Heyward rushed for 141 yards, lifting his sea- son total to 1,061, the sixth best in school history. Dickerson completed 8 of 20 passes for 76 yards and one touchdown, a pass to Heyward. “He played well and did a lot of good things,” said Mike Gottfried. ‘‘I just felt we needed a spark and I thought Darnell could give us one.” SYRACUSE 10 14 0 0-24 PITT 0 3 7 0-10 First Quarter: Syracuse—Vesling FG 36 12:09.

GAME 9 PITT 17 RUTGERS 0 EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ (November 7)—Craig Hey- ward and Darnell Dickerson led the way on offense, Jerry Olsavsky and Zeke Gadson sparked the defense, and Pitt dominated Rutgers at Giants Stadium. The Scarlet Knights gained only 97 yards, including 34 in the first half. Rutgers did not make a first down until midway through the sec- ond quarter, and had eight for the afternoon. Heyward gained a season—high 175 yards on 41 carries, and scored a first—quarter touchdown to give Pitt a 10-0 lead. Dickerson’s scrambling bought time for the passing game and wore down Rutgers’ defense. The freshman quarterback, in his first start, scored a touchdown when he picked up a fum- bled handoff and jogged six yards with no Knights in sight. Gadson and Olsavsky made 10 tackles each, and had all three sacks between them. Cornell Holloway, a reserve cornerback, replaced injured Gary Richard and made his first career interception. Dickerson passed for 108 yards and rushed for 42 before giving way to Larry Wanke. “The more Darnell got loose on the outside,” Mike Gottfried said, “the more it opened things up for Craig inside.” “The way 1 look at it,” Heyward said, “once you touch the ball, you’re no longer a fresh- man, and Darnell certainly doesn’t play like a freshman. He adds an entirely new dimension to our offense.” PITT 10 7 0 0-17 RUTGERS 0 0 0 0- 0 First Quarter: Pi’tt—VanHorne FG 20 8:20. Pitt—C. Heyward 1 run (VanHorne kick) 2:32.

GAME 10 PITT 10 PENN STATE 0 PITTSBURGH (November 14)—Craig Heyward entered this game as the nation’s leading rusher; the Pitt defense came in tied for sixth in scoring defense. They would do nothing to harm their rankings. Pitt came up with more big plays than Penn State, and lifted its record to 7-3 in the process. It was the Panthers’ first win over Penn State at Pitt Stadium since 1965. The defense recorded its third shutout of the season and second straight, the first time Pitt has accomplished both feats since 1981. Three big plays did in the Nittany Lions. With Pitt leading, 3-0, Gary Richard blocked Ray Tarasi’s 20-yard field goal attempt. Late in the fourth quarter, Penn State’s Matt Knizner connected with Michel Timpson on a 52-yard pass to the Pitt 20. The Lions were forced to attempt a field goal three plays later. A blocker overcompensated toward Richard, and Jon Carter crashed through the gap to block Tarasi’s 36-yard attempt. After a punt, the Lions came back again, and were at the Pitt. 36 yard line with 36 seconds remaining and the clock running. Knizner threw to Michael Timpson in the left flat, but Billy Owens stepped in front for the interception. Owens streaked 69 yards down the sideline for a game-saving touchdown. Heyward, matched up against Penn State’s Blair Thomas, had his 10th consecutive 100—yard game. His 160 yards were the most by a Pitt back against Penn State since Tony Dorsett (224, 1976). Thomas rushed for 87 yards, but gained only three yards in the fourth quarter. PENN STATE 0 0 0 0- 0 PITT 3 0 0 7-10 First Quarter: Pi1t—VanHorne FG 44 10:25.

GAME 11 PITT 28 KENT STATE 5 PITTSBURGH (November 21)-—Twenty thousand people braved below zero wind-chill factors to see Craig Heyward and company for the last time in 1987. They were not disappointed. Heyward rushed for 259 yards and three touchdowns (both career—highs) to earn Sports Illustrated Offensive Player of the Week honors as Pitt dismantled the Golden Flashes quickly. Heyward carried on each of Pitt’s first 13 plays, accounting for two entire touchdown drives. He scored from 58 yards out, the longest run of his career, and from one yard out. Hey- ward had over 100 yards by the end of the first quarter, and finished his day by scoring from 42 yards out in the fourth quarter. Adam Walker rushed for 56 yards and scored his first career touchdown on a 19-yard sweep. Pitt attempted just eight passes, the lowest total since Mike Gottfried took over two seasons ago. Although Pitt moved the ball, Kent State couldn’t. That was due in large part to Pitt’s defense. Kent State garnered 92 yards total offense, the lowest total Pitt has allowed in four years (77, Temple, September 10, 1983). Troy Washington took the team lead by grab- bing his second interception. Carnel Smith and Nelson Walker had sacks. Pitt’s defensive shutout string ended at 11 quarters. After the game, Pitt accepted a bid to play Texas in the Bluebonnet Bowl, the Panthers’ first bowl game in four years. KENT STATE PITT 14 0- 5 7-28 First Quarter: Pitt—C.

GAME 12 TEXAS 32 PITT 27 Bluebonnet Bowl HOUSTON, TX (December 31)—Despite late heroics from Larry Wanke, Pitt was grounded in this aerial circus, as Texas quarterback Brett Stafford and split end Tony Jones set Bluebon- net Bowl records. 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 first 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 Longhorns took the lead for good as Stafford hit Jones on a short pass and broke for a 60-yard touchdown. Stafford finished the first quarter with 202 yards passing on the way to a 368-yard night. Jones set records for receiving yards and longest reception. Wanke replaced Darnell Dickerson early in the third quarter after Dickerson suffered a knee injury. Wanke completed eight-of-20 passes for 172 yards and three touchdowns, including two late in the fourth quarter which cut the Lon- ghorns’ lead to five.

The awards acknowledge outstanding performances by Pitt football players during spring practice. Gottfried’s purpose in initiating the awards was “to enhance and strengthen the feeling of Pitt’s great football tradition among current squad members.” They are: the Dr. John B. “Jock” Sutherland Award for the most valuable offensive lineman; the Glenn “Pop” Warner Award for the most valuable defensive lineman; the John Michelosen Award for the most valu- able offensive back; and the John Majors 53 Award for the most valuable defensive back. The 110 Percent Award for the player “who gives his all and plays every play like it’s the Super Bowl” was given for the second year. Gottfried presented the 1988 Spring Awards to the players during halftime of the annual Blue—Gold Game. 1988 Spring Award Winners “Jock” Sutherland Award — Tom Ricketts (OT) “Pop” Warner Award — Burt Grossman (DE) John Michelosen Award — Larry Wanke (QB) John Majors Award — Craig Gob (LB) 110 Percent Award — Dan Crossman (FB) 70 OPPONENTS NORTHERN IOWA September 3 Pitt Stadium NORTHERN IO-W~A TM 6' Coach Earle Bruce .

TRADITION 98 Years of Pitt Football In October of 1986, moments before his sixth game as Pitt ’s 29th head football coach, Mike Gottfried addressed his troops in the locker room at Notre Dame Stadium. ‘We’re playing in a place where there’s a lot of tradition, ” Gottfried said, beginning his pregame speech. “But I ’m going to tell you something — we pack a ton ourselves. “The tradition at the University of Pittsburgh ranks with anyone’s. ” Indeed, the University of Pittsburgh has a long and storied football history. Its nine national championships rank Pitt sixth in NCAA annals. The football program ranks sixth among Division I—A schools in consensus All—Americans, tenth among all colleges and universities. Only 13 schools have more victories than Pitt’s 538. Sixteen men involved with Pitt football — players and coaches alike —— have been elected into the College Football Hall of Fame, while two men have been enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Nearly 200 former Panthers have played in the National Football League, while ten men have coached in it. Three former Pitt football players — Mike Ditka, Marty Schottenheimer and Joe Walton — are presently coaching NFL teams, a number no other school can match. The 1905 version of Pitt (then Western University of Pennsylvania) football won 10 of 12 games — all by shutouts. The team, coached by Arthur St. L. Mosse (white sweater), outscored its opponents, 405-36.

Many games in the early years involved high schools and athletic clubs; in fact, only 27 of the school’s 56 games in the 18905 were intercollegiate. The first game, on October 11, 1890, actually was something of a fluke. When a game sched- uled between the Shadyside Academy and Allegheny Athletic Association was cancelled because Shadyside failed to show, Western’s team was summoned to Exposition Park. Allegheny AA won the game, 38-0. Western also began the first of many long- standing rivalries that season when it lost, 32-0, to Washington and Jefferson. The schools would meet 33 times before the series ended after the 1935 season. After posting a winning record (4-2) for the first time in 1892, Western hired Anson F. Har- rold as its first true coach in 1893. His lone sea- son also provided the first controversy in the school’s athletic history. Harrold, who played for Western while he was coaching (eligibility rules had not yet been 1.7 established), and his top player, Joseph Trees, both also played for an athletic club, the Allegheny Athletic Association (a commonplace occurrence in that era). When Trees announced late in the season he would skip Western’s game with Penn State to play instead for Allegheny AA in a game against the Pittsburgh Athletic Club scheduled the same day, Western Chancellor William Jacob Holland cancelled the game against Penn State. Shortly afterward, when Trees promised not to play for Allegheny again, Western’s game with Penn State was rescheduled and played. Trees then played for Allegheny the following afternoon. The controversy that surrounded the 1893 team may have left a lasting impact —~ the teams of 1894-97 accumulated a 6-16 record. Western then had four winning seasons — fol- lowed by two losing years — before fielding its first great team. Arthur St. L. Mosse coached the 1904 squad to a 10-0 record. The team was so dominant that it did not allow a point through its first nine games. In the tenth, the team’s first win over Penn State, Pitt’s archrivals scored the only points allowed all season. The success of 1904 carried over for the rest of the decade. Western/Pitt compiled a 38-13-1 record from 1905-1909, allowing only 180 points (an average of 36 points per season). The university also etched its name in history in 1908, when Pitt played Carlisle. On that afternoon, both teams wore uniform numbers. The game, which Carlisle won 6-0, is recognized as the first game ever where players wore num- bers on jerseys. The 1910 team capped this glorious era by becoming the only team in Pitt history to finish a season unbeaten, untied and unscored upon. The team was coached by Joseph Thompson, a member of the 1904 squad that nearly achieved the same feat. Thompson was elected to the College Football'Hall of Fame in 1971. Joseph Duff coached the 1913-14 teams, win- ning 14 and tying once in 18 tries. His last two (Clockwise, left): The 1938 backfield (from left): Cu rly Stebbins, Coach “Jock” Sutherland, Marshall The last two players named would go on to become the winningest coaches in Pitt’s football and basketball histories, respectively. Many contemporaries considered the 1916 team Pitt team the best to date in college foot- ball. Warner, who later took Stanford to several Rose Bowls, considered it the best team he ever coached. Two of the greatest runners in Pitt history played for Warner — Tom Davies and George McLaren. Seven decades later both All- Americans still hold prominent places in the school’s all-time statistical leaders. Sutherland replaced Warner as head coach in 1924, and his 15-year reign was a glorious era féittsstt ttigéi POLO GROUNDS N.Y W .. *3 .4-. i:s”§n- » 12*‘ $ Goldberg, and John Chickerneo; a 1936 Pitt-Fordham game program; Edgar “Special Delivery” Jones delivers the mail vs. Purdue in 1941. games began a string of 31 consecutive Pitt vic- tories, a run that ended four years later with a loss to the Cleveland Naval Reserve (the streak reached 33 in intercollegiate play before Pitt lost to Syracuse in 1919). The coach during most of that streak was to become one of the first legends of his profes- sion, Glenn Scobey “Pop” Warner. His nine years at Pitt produced 59 victories and only 12 losses, and he didn’t lose until the Cleveland Naval Reserve game at the conclusion of his fourth season. Pitt was selected as collegiate national cham- pion three times under Warner, in 1915, 1916 and 1918. Several Pitt players were among the first All-Americans ever selected, including team Captain Robert Peck (1914-16), John Bain “Jock” Sutherland and H.C. “Doc” Carlson. that featured five national championships, four Rose Bowl appearances, and an overall record of 112-20-12. Sutherland’s tenure was filled with great players and classic games. Marshall Goldberg, Dick Cassiano, Harold “Curly” Stebbins and John Chickerneo comprised the “Dream Back- field” of 1938. Gibby Welch, Warren Heller, Ave Daniell, Tony Matisi, Joe Skladany, Charles “Doc” Hartwig, Joe Donchess and Bill Daddio were among the nearly two dozen All- Americans who played under Sutherland. Minnesota’s 13-7 victory over Pitt in 1934 is considered among the greatest games in colle- giate history. Golden Gopher coach Bernie Bier- man, who led the school for 16 seasons between 1932 and 1950, called the 1934 Pitt squad the best team Minnesota ever faced. One of the greatest rivalries in Pitt history, though, was a snippet of a series in the 1930s against Fordham. Today, Fordham is not known as a football power, but in those days, it was among the mightiest in the land, and featured the famous “Seven Blocks of Granite,” including Vince Lombardi. The schools played but seven times, from 1935-41, but those games are well known in col- lege football lore. The reason: neither team scored for three years. 1935 —Pitt 0, Fordham 0. 1936 —Pitt 0, Fordham 0. 1937 — Pitt 0, Fordham 0. The final two ties equalled two- thirds of the blemishes on Pitt’s records in those national championship years. The only true scoring threat in any game was a 1937 Goldberg touchdown which was called back for holding. In 1938, the largest crowd ever to watch a sporting event in Pittsburgh, 68,918, watched Pitt and Fordham do the unthinkable: score against each other. Pitt won, 24-13. Pitt’s other great rival, Penn State, didn’t fare well against Sutherland; his teams were 12-0 against the Nittany Lions. Penn State even dropped Pitt from its schedule for three seasons (1932-34) because the Panthers were so power- ful. In fact, Notre Dame also cut the Panthers out of its schedule after Pitt won five of six meetings from 1932-37. National power Nebraska never mastered Sutherland — he was 9-0-3 against the Cornhuskers. Sutherland’s teams, as noted, went to four Rose Bowls, and actually declined an invitation to a fifth. Only once did they return from Pasadena a winner, after topping Washington 21-0 on New Year’s Day, 1937. The following season, the team declined another Rose Bowl invitation, a decision many players still regret today. Sutherland had endured a long-standing battle with Chancellor John Bowman over the direc- tion, and relative importance, of the football program. When Sutherland resigned after the 1938 season, Bowman de—emphasized football, stripping the team of financial aid in the form of athletic scholarships and leaving it essentially to fend for itself. The post-Sutherland era in the 1940s was a downtrodden period for Pitt football. Eight con- secutive losing seasons culminated with the dis- astrous 1947 campaign. That team went 1-8, and was outscored 267-26. The only win was a 12-0 upset of Ohio State. There were some highlights along the way. On November 8, 1941, Pitt met Fordham for the final time. The outlook was bleak — Fordham was 5-0 and apparently headed for the Rose Bowl. Pitt was 0-5, and had scored but 21 points. Led by Edgar “Special Delivery” Jones, Pitt’s greatest star of the 1940s, the Panthers pulled one of the biggest upsets in school history by decking the Rams, 12-0. Jones rushed for 106 yards, picked off two passes, and scored one of Pitt’s touchdowns. Fordham had to settle for the Sugar Bowl. Consecutive 6-3 seasons under head coach Walter S. Milligan in 1948-49 eased the pain, but the team enjoyed little success in the five following years. One of the few bright spots was 85 86 TRADITION 98 Years of Pitt Football (cont.) All-America linebacker Joe Schmidt, who later became Pitt’s first alumnus to be selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Perhaps the best triumph of the period was a 1952 victory over Frank Leahy’s Notre Dame team. Billy Reynolds’s 79-yard run and a 63-yard pass from John Jacobs to Rudy Mattioli staked Pitt to a 13-0 lead, and coach Lowell “Red” Dawson’s Panthers hung on for a 22-19 Wln. John Michelosen, who was a quarterback for Pitt’s national championship teams of 1936 and 1937, took over as head coach for the 1955 team, and quickly restored some of Sutherland’s magic. Michelosen’s first two teams, featuring star receiver Joe Walton, now head coach of the New York Jets, made trips to the Sugar Bowl and Gator Bowl in 1955 and 1956, respectively - the only two bowl appearances for Pitt between 1936 and 1973. The 1955 team was the first of three Pitt squads to earn Sugar Bowl invitations. The opponent on this occasion was Georgia Tech. Wade Mitchell scored the game’s only touch- down with a first—quarter quarterback sneak as Tech nipped Pitt, 7-0. The touchdown was set up by a pass interference call against Pitt’s Bobby Grier, the first black man to play in the Sugar Bowl. Pitt came back with a 7-2-1 season in 1956, including a 14-7 upset over previously unbeaten Miami in the regualar-season finale. The Pan- thers were rewarded with a trip to the Gator Bowl for a rematch with Georgia Tech. This would also be the first of three trips to that game. Tech won again, 21-14. Another lean cycle followed. Among the few highlights as the 1950s wound down was a last- minute victory over Notre Dame in 1958. Quar- terback Bill Kaliden ran for the final TD in a 29-26 thriller at Pitt Stadium. lt would be the first of three consecutive defeats of the Fighting Irish. Tight end Mike Ditka earned All-America honors in 1960. The dominant star from Ali- quippa, Pa., would later be elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame (he was inducted this past summer). He is also a member of the Col- lege Football Hall of Fame, and is the only Pitt grad in both football shrines. One of the greatest yet most frustrating years in Pitt football chronicles was 1963, when Michelosen’s club was among the best in the nation, but ended up home during bowl season. The 9-1 team’s only mar was a loss to Navy, featuring Heisman Trophy winner Roger Staubach. Pitt, which finished the season ranked third (behind Texas and Navy), felt it deserved a major bowl bid. The Panthers ignored “lesser” bowls, which were eager to invite them. The major bowl invitation never came, and the snubbed Pitt team stayed home. The nine years that followed (1964-1972) were among the worst in Pitt football annals. The cumulative record in that span (22-68-2) reflects the doldrums. One story in 1968 even told of Pitt Head Coach Dave Hart asking the referees to keep the clock running during a 56-7 loss to Notre Dame in which Pitt trailed 49-0 at half- time. There were also rumors that the school would de-emphasize football to the point of dropping from the major-college level. Current University President Wesley Posvar in December, 1972, instead made a strong commit- ment to football, and pointed Pitt toward a gridiron renaissance by hiring Johnny Majors as head coach. Posvar has been a guiding force in the rebirth of Pitt football throughout his reign as the University’s top official. “The Major Change in Pitt Football,” as it was known, came about immediately. Pitt, com- ing off a 1-10 year, opened at Georgia, which had been 7-4 in 1972. Led by freshman running back Tony Dorsett, Pitt earned a 7-7 tie in Athens, providing the first spark in a remarkable turnaround season that ended at the Fiesta Bowl. Dorsett gained 265 yards at Northwestern and rushed for 209 yards against Notre Dame, the most the Irish had ever allowed by one back. Dorsett was named All-American, Majors was named Coach- of-the-Year, and Pitt finished 6-5-1. Dorsett rushed for 1,686 yards, making him Pitt’s sixth all-time leading career rusher after his freshman year. A 7-4 season in 1974 was another step for- ward and Pitt appeared on national television for the first time since the 1965 Duke game was ends’, #99 Hugh Green and #87 Rickey Jackson 9’ (Clockwise, top left): Mike Ditka, Jae Schmidt, Lowell “Red” Dawson, John Michelosen, and Pitt’s ‘book if ~ televised by NBC.

Dorsett, 0VeTeame eaeh hurdle 0“ the W3)’ 10 3 12-0 national championship season. For the opener, ABC Sports had requested that Pitt play Notre Dame in early September. Both teams were expected to compete for the national title. Pitt had not won at South Bend since 1963, and when the Panthers’ offense first took the field, the score was already Notre Dame 7, Pitt 0. Dorsett set a more correct tone for Pitt by rushing for 61 yards on the offense’s first play from scrimmage, and the Panthers rolled to a 31-10 victory. Dorsett holds the NCAA record for most yards gained against one opponent in a career, 754 yards against Notre Dame. The next obstacle came during an easy win at Georgia Tech —— Haygood was injured and lost for the season. Matt Cavanaugh replaced him at quarterback. Three games later, Cavanaugh went down with an ankle injury. Tom Yewcic, a walk—on’ who was once listed as the ninth-string quarter- back, took over. Pitt continued winning. Against Navy at Annapolis, Dorsett became the NCAA’s all-time leading rusher. Against Penn State, Pitt erased one of the few blemishes from the Dorsett/Majors era: an 0-3 record against the Nittany Lions. Pitt’s 24-7 win against Penn State set up a battle for the national champion- ship against Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. The ‘Dawgs’ were no match. Cavanaugh’s superb play, combined with Dorsett’s 202 yards and a dominating defense carried Pitt to the pinnacle in a 27-3 win to clinch Pitt’s ninth national championnhip. Dorsett finished the season with 2,150 yards, and had a total of 6,526 in his incredible career. He won the Heisman Trophy, and Majors again won Coach—of—the-Year. Dorsett moved on to the Dallas Cowboys, and Majors departed after the season as well, returning to coach his alma mater, Tennessee. Jackie Sherrill replaced Majors and posted an outstanding 50-9-1 record in his five—year tenure. Each squad produced at least eight victories, and Sherrill left Pitt after three consecutive 11-] performances. The Majors era was characterized by a dynamic running game; Sherril1’s teams were known for defense. Hugh Green, Randy Hollo- way, Rickey Jackson, Sal Sunseri, Greg Meis- ner, and Carlton Williamson led the charge and helped comprise one of the top college defenses of this generation. Green, who won the Lom- bardi Award, finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting in 1980. Offensive tackle Mark May won the Outland Trophy in 1980. Twelve Panthers were selected in the 1981 NFL Draft, including three first-round choices — Green, May and running back Randy McMillan. (In the 1980s, several other Pitt stars were NFL first-round picks, including All—Pros Bill Maas, Jimbo Covert, Bill Fralic, Dan Marino, and Chris Doleman.) The offense under Sherrill moved skyward, first with Cavanaugh passing to Gordon Jones, later with Dan Marino spraying touchdown passes to Julius Dawkins and Dwight Collins. Marino would become the most productive Tony Dorset! 88 TRADITION 98 Years of Pitt Football (cont.) passer in school history, as Pitt won 42 of 48 games during his four years. In 1981, Marino had a season few quarter- backs could even dream about. He completed 226 of 380 passes for 2,876 yards and a whop- ping 37 touchdowns, all of which still stand as Pitt records. Those statistics would have been even greater, but Marino missed a game with an injury. Only Brigham Young’s Jim McMahon earned a higher passing efficiency rating among NCAA passers that season. Pitt was 10-0 and ranked number one before Penn State pulled off a major upset at Pitt Stadium, defeating the Panthers, 48-14. Pitt tried to rebound against Herschel Walker and the Georgia Bulldogs in the Sugar Bowl, but late in the game the Panthers found them- selves trailing, 20-17. In the final minute, Sher- rill was urged by Marino to skip a field goal attempt for a tie and go for victory on 4th- and-5. Tight end John Brown broke open deep, and Marino hit him for the winning touchdown. The Penn State loss prevented a national cham- pionship, but Sherrill’s Sugar Bowl Special left Pitt feeling on top of the world. When Sherrill moved on to Texas A&M in 1982, it was only natural that Serafino “Foge” Fazio take over. Fazio had been a part of Pitt football most of his adult life — he played here, then was an assistant coach. He moved into a hot seat — Pitt was the nation’s top-ranked team when the season kicked off. Although the team struggled at times, Pitt was 7-0 before Notre Dame pulled off a 31-16 upset at Pitt Stadium. Marino’s career ended on New Year’s Day with a disap- pointing 7-3 loss to SMU in the Cotton Bowl. John Congemi replaced Marino as the Pan- ther’s primary quarterback during the next four years, and only Marino ever passed for more yards at Pitt. Congemi led the Panthers to an 8-3-1 record in 1983, and completed a school- record 31 passes when Pitt lost to Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl. The Panthers then encountered a down cycle for several years. Despite outstanding play from All-America tackle Bill Fralic, the 1984 team collapsed to a 3-7-1 record. The 1985 team improved, but only to 5-5-1. In December of 1985, Pitt hired Mike Gott- fried to replace Fazio. Although the record in 1986 was a repeat 5-5-1, an upbeat attitude returned. A 48-16 win over West Virginia re- vealed Gottfried’s offensive acumen; a gritty 10-9 conquest at Notre Dame displayed a doggedness not seen the previous year. In 1987, Pitt was again among the top teams in college football. An 8-4 record culminated with a trip to the Bluebonnet Bowl in Houston. Pitt defeated rivals West Virginia, Notre Dame and Penn State in the same season for the first time since 1976. The latter two were special victories. Pitt was an underdog at home against the lrish, but swamped Lou Holtz’s team with a 27-point first-half barrage. Pitt won, 30-22. The Panthers had not beaten Penn State at Pitt Stadium since 1965, and had not shut out the Nittany Lions since 1955. But when strong safety Billy Owens intercepted a pass in the clos- ing seconds and returned it for a touchdown, Pitt had a 10-0 win. The offensive star of the 1987 team was tail- back Craig “lronhead” Heyward, who finished second in the nation with 1,791 yards rushing and scored 12 touchdowns. Heyward joined Dorsett in the select list of eight college players who have rushed for 100 yards in every game of an entire season. Another success story was linebacker Zeke Gadson, who finished the season with a school- record 241/: sacks, second in the nation. Gad- son, who wasn’t even expected to be a starter, earned All-America recognition and was the first finalist for the Butkus Award (as the best line- backer in the nation) who was not among a list of preseason candidates. Through its first 98 seasons, Pitt has produced some of the greatest players, teams, coaches, and moments in college football history. It would be fair to say that the teams of 1916, 1937, 1976 and 1980 are among the best ever.

Ditka was an All—America tight end at Pitt in 1960, his senior season. He led the Panthers in receiving three consecutive years. Ditka was also an excellent linebacker and punter. He was the captain of the 1960 squad. His pro football career included All—Pro honors, and Ditka was a member of the Chicago Bears’ 1963 NFL Championship team, and the Dallas Cowboys’ Super Bowl Vl cham- pionship team. Ditka worked as an assistant coach at Dallas for nine seasons, including another Super Bowl title year. This fall he begins his seventh year as head coach of the Bears, a team he has rebuilt into a perennial power. The Bears won Super Bowl XX under Ditka. Ditka is Pitt’s only alumnus to be enshrined in both the Pro and College Football Halls of Fame. Joe Schmidt, Pitt’s other inductee in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, was an All—American linebacker at Pitt in 1952, his senior season. He followed that with a brilliant 13-year career with the Detroit Lions, and was on board when the Lions won two NFL Championships. He later coached the team for six seasons, and led Detroit to its only playoff appearance of the 1970s. He was inducted in 1973.

The rou- tine 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 practiced in Dodge City, Albuquerque and Winslow, Arizona, on the way to Pasadena. The game had a sentimental story- line: the coach against his mentor. Panther Coach John B. “Jock” Sutherland had played for Stanford Coach Glenn “Pop” Warner when the latter was at Pitt. Amidst all that, the game, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 13 13 14 7 - 47 PITT O O 7 7 -— 14 If vintage football films give you the impression 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 started on a bright note for “Jock” Suther- land’s team when Toby Uansa rushed 68 yards on Pitt’s first play. Pitt failed to score, then the walls caved in. Gaius Shaver connected with Henry Edelson for a 55-yard touchdown. Later in the quarter, Shaver hit Ernest Pinckert for a 28-yard score, capitalizing on a Pitt fumble. Another fumble led to USC’s third touchdown, a short run which opened the score to 19-0. Two although close, was controlled by Stanford. Pitt grabbed a 6-0 third-quarter lead when Jimmy Hagan scooped up a Cardinal fumble and ran 20 yards for a .touchdown. The extra point was missed. Stanford, which made several marches deep into Pitt territory, finally scored on an unusual play. On fourth-and-goal at the two, Stanford quarterback Biff Hoffman completed a pass to Bob Sims, but it was short of the goal line. Sims was hit and fumbled, but Frank Wil- ton 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, mustered very little offense in its first of four Rose Bowl games. Jesses set up the Trojans’ next score when Jesse Mortensen and Jesse Hill teamed for a 51-yard pass play. Russell Saunders helped convert a USC interception into a 33-0 lead with his 13-yard scoring run. Pitt finally broke through in the third quarter when Uansa threw a 28-yard pass to William Wallinchus. Southern Cal sandwiched two more long touchdown passes (38 and 62 yards) around a Tom Parkinson-to-Paul Collins 36-yard TD pass for Pitt to arrive at the final 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. Rose Bowl January 2, 1933 Pasadena, California The Rose Bowl SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 7 O 7 21 — 35 PITT O O O O — O 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 first Rose Bowl win. Instead Sutherland suffered the worst loss in his Pitt career. It was the first 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 Carnegie Tech. With 83,000 in attendance, the Panthers stayed close until the fourth quarter before collapsing. USC’s Homer Griffith threw, and later caught, a touchdown pass as the Trojans built a 14-0 lead through three quarters. After lrvine Warburton scored to make the score 21-0, Pitt fumbled the kickoff, and Warburton scored again shortly thereafter. A blocked punt set up the final 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 final game of his brilliant Pitt career. Rose Bowl January 1, 1937 Pasadena, California The Rose Bowl WASHINGTON O O O O — O PITT 7 O 7 7 — 21 “Jock” Sutherland was intent on winning 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 first touchdown of the game, which, fittingly, he scored. LaRue’s 50-yard run in the third quarter, which would have gone 75 yards for the touchdown 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 interception. 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 finally overcome one of the few obstacles in his brilliant career. Sugar Bowl January 2, 1956 New Orleans, Louisiana The Sugar Bowl GEORGIA TECH 7 O O O — 7 PITT 0 O O O — 0 A controversial pass interference penalty against Pitt’s Bobby Grier, the first black man ever to play in the Sugar Bowl, put Georgia Tech on the doorstep for the game’s only touchdown. Pitt, under new Head Coach John Michelosen —— the only man in Pitt history to play and coach in bowl games (he was a quarterback on the 1936 Rose Bowl team) — had several chances to tie the game but hit a wall of futility. Grier’s penalty gave Tech the ball on the 1, from where Wade Mitchell snuck in for the score. A fumble killed a first-quarter drive, then quarterback Corny Salva- terra was stopped on a fourth-and—goal just before halftime. Pitt’s Ray DiPasquale inter- cepted a pass to squelch a fourth quarter threat by Tech. In the final moments, Pitt made a furi- ous attempt to tie the game. The Panthers, who were penalized twice on the last drive, were on Tech’s 5—yard line when time ran out. 99 100 TRADITION Bowl History (cont.) Gator Bowl December 29, 1956 Jacksonville, Florida The Gator Bowl GEORGIA TECH 7 7 7 O — 21 PITT O 7 7 0 — 14 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 turnovers. 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 quarterback 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 within seven on Sal- vaterra’s sneak, but could draw no closer. Fiesta Bowl December 21, 1973 Tempe, Arizona Sun Devil Stadium Sun Bowl December 26, 1975 El Paso, Texas Sun Bowl Stadium ARIZONA STATE 7 O 3 18 — 28 PITT 7 0 O 0 — 7 A new era in Pitt football was ushered in with the Panthers’ first 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 first, with Dorsett scoring two plays after Tom Perko recovered Arizona State quarterback Danny White’s fumble on the first play of the game. But the Sun Devils, playing on their own field, proved too tough. Woody Green scored four plays after Dorsett’s touchdown to tie the game. Arizona State scored three touchdowns in KANSAS O O 7 12 — 19 PITT 7 12 O 14 — 33 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 first quar- ter. Tony Dorsett (27-142) scored two touch- downs in the second quarter. Pitt had nearly 300 rushing yards at the intermission. Quarterback Robert Haygood ran the veer offense to perfec- 6:O4 of the fourth quarter, and although Pitt blocked all three extra points, the game ended one—sided after being tied at halftime. Dorsett rushed for 100 yards, but Pitt turned the ball over seven times. Both quarterbacks, White and Pitt’s Billy Daniels, threw three interceptions, but White completed 14 of 19 for 269 yards. Daniels was 7-20 for just 57 yards. tion, rushing for 101 yards (14 carries) when he wasn’t busy pitching out to Dorsett. Haygood also connected with Gordon Jones for a touch- down 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. Sugar Bowl January 1, 1977 New Orleans, Louisiana Gator Bowl December 30, 1977 Jacksonville, Florida The Gator Bowl GEORGIA O O 3 O — 3 PITT 7 14 3 3 — 27 The myriad of accomplishments Tony Dorsett achieved in his four years at Pitt were punctuated by his role in this win, one that gave Pitt its first national championship in 39 years. Dorsett, quar- terback Matt Cavanaugh and a marauding defense just would not be denied in the first indoor Sugar Bowl game. Cavanaugh, named the game’s MVP, scored from 6 yards out to give Pitt a 7-0 lead. The celebration of that touch- down became a Sports Illustrated cover that can be seen at several sites around Pitt’s campus. The photo headline simply read: “PITT IS IT!” Gor- don Jones turned a short pass into a 59-yard touchdown excursion in the second quarter. Dor- sett’s 10-yard score late in the half cemented the victory. He was far from through, however. After gaining 65 yards in the first half, the Heis- man Trophy winner exploded in the second to CLEMSON 0 3 O 0 — 3 PITT 10 7 7 1O — 34 P_itt set five Gator Bowl records for offensive proficiency in an astounding demolition of the highly regarded Clemson Tigers. Matt Cavanaugh completed 23 of 36 passes for 387 yards and four touchdowns as Pitt outgained Clemson, 566-268. Three scoring tosses went to fullback Elliott Walker, who joined Tony Dorsett as the only Pitt backs ever to rush for 1,000 yards in a sea- son. 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 first half alone. Clemson’s vaunted passing com- bination of Steve Fuller—to—Jerry Butler was finish with a Sugar Bowl record 202 yards rush- ing, including 67 on one run that set up one of Carson Long’s two second—half field 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, Geor- gia’s head coach, said this about the 12-0 Pan- thers: “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. rendered ineffective by a Pitt secondary which swooped in for four interceptions, two by senior safety Bob Jury. Cavanaugh, an All—American in 1977, missed part of the season after suffering a broken wrist against Notre Dame. “I shudder to think what he could have done had he stayed healthy,” said Panther Coach Jackie Sherrill, who finished his first year at Pitt with a 9-2-1 mark. Tangerine Bowl December 23, 1978 Orlando, Florida Tangerine Bowl NORTH CAROLINA STATE 7 10 3 10 — 30 PITT 0 0 3 14 — 17 The Panthers saved their worst performance of the season for this bowl outing with North Caro- lina State. 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 Pan- thers 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 just over five 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 final touchdown. “Execution on our part was our biggest problem,” Coach Jackie Sherrill said. “We didn’t play well. . . and the turnovers hurt us.” Pitt finished 8-4. Fiesta Bowl December 25, 1979 Tempe, Arizona Sun Devil Stadium ARIZONA O 0 3 7 — 10 PITT 3 3 7 3 -— 16 Pitt finished the 1979 season with a ten—game winning streak, built in part around the arm of freshman quarterback Dan Marino. The season finale came on Christmas Day, with the Panthers rounding out an 11-1 campaign with a 16-10 win over Arizona. The Wildcats, coached by current Pitt radio commentator Tony Mason, threatened often but did not score a touchdown until the game’s waning moments. Junior cornerback Terry White intercepted two passes. One set up the second of three Mark Schubert field goals; the other allowed Pitt to run out the clock. Two of Schubert’s kicks were from 46 yards out. Pitt’s only touchdown came after a l2—play drive, with Marino hitting Benjie Pryor from 12 yards out. The last three plays of the drive: Marino to Mike Dombrowski for 34 yards, Marino to Ralph Still for 24 yards, and the touchdown.

J‘ ; SOUTH CAROLINA 0 3 0 6 — 9 PITT 10 7 17 3 — 37 Pitt’s defense wanted this game badly —— its leader for four years, Hugh Green, finished sec- ond in the Heisman Trophy voting behind South Carolina’s George Rogers. With the chance to avenge that result, Pitt smothered the Gamecocks with a swarming defense and an efficient offense. Rick Trocano and Dan Marino split time at quarterback; each threw a a touchdown pass and GEORGIA O 3 7 14 — 20 PITT 0 7 6 7 — 24 One of the most dramatic finishes in Pitt football history gave Pitt its second Sugar Bowl win over Georgia. Pitt trailed, 20-17, with 42 seconds remaining. It faced a 4th-and-5 at the Bulldog 33. Coach Jackie Sherrill disdained the potential 50-yard field goal attempt. “With five minutes to go 1 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 first down, but a Georgia blitz left tight end John Brown in single coverage down the middle. Mar- ino was right on target for the touchdown, his third of the game. The Panther defense limited 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 output. Tom Flynn recovered Rogers’s fumble on the first 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 finished the season 11-1. Herschel Walker to 84 yards on 25 carries. “We can’t play any better,” Georgia coach Vince Dooley said. “We played our hearts out to the bitter end.” January 1, 1983 Dallas, Texas The Cotton Bowl SMU 0 0 0 7 — 7 PITT O O 3 O — 3 The Panthers’ season came to a dismal end as Pitt lost to Southern Methodist in the Mustangs’ own backyard. Dan Marino, in his last game at Pitt, was plagued by dropped passes on the cold, rainy day. He completed 19 of 37 for 181 yards. Fumbles were the story of the first quarter. Joe McCall lost one at the SMU one—yard line, but Mustang QB Lance Mcllhenny returned the favor with a fumble at the Pitt seven. Eric Schubert’s missed field goal attempt left the game scoreless at the half. Marino completed five straight short passes to set up Schubert’s 43-yard kick which gave Pitt its only points. SMU’s “Pony Express” backfield (Eric Dickerson and Craig James) led an 80-yard drive, which Mcllhenny capped off with a nine—yard run. Pitt’s last chance ended when a Marino pass was tipped and intercepted in the end zone. Fiesta Bowl January 2, 1984 Tempe, Arizona Sun Devil Stadium Refer to page 65 for 1987 Bluebonnet Bowl game. OHIO STATE 7 7 0 14 — 28 PITT 0 7 O 16 —— 23 John Congemi completed a school—record 31 passes for 341 yards, but a late Ohio State touch- down pass spoiled Congemi’s, and Pitt’s, after- noon. Congemi’s second-quarter touchdown pass to tight end Clint Wilson tied the score at 7-7, but the Buckeyes led, 14-7, entering the fourth quarter. Wilson fell on Joe McCall’s fumble in the end zone to tie the score early in the fourth quarter. Ohio State’s Keith Byars scored his sec- ond touchdown by returning the ensuing kickoff 99 yards. Congemi was six—for-six on Pitt’s next touchdown drive, which culminated with an 11-yard pass to Dwight Collins. Congemi, who completed 19-of-27 in the second half, had his conversion pass broken up, and Pitt trailed, 21-20. A 17-play drive later in the quarter ended with Snuffy Everett’s 37-yard field goal to put the Panthers on top. Quarterback Mike Tomczak led Ohio State back, ending an 89-yard drive with a 39-yard bomb to Thad Jemison, who scored with 39 seconds remaining. Head Coach Foge Fazio’s Panthers drove to the Buckeye 24, but could get no further. 101 TRADITION Football on Television Score 1985 Date Opponent Pitt/Ooo Coverage Network Aug. 31 . . . . . . . . . . ..Purdue . . . . . . . . . ..31—30 N .

Dorsett, however, is not the only Panther to figure prominently in the voting. In fact, 3. Pitt player finished in the Top 10 of the Heisman Trophy voting in nine of the past 13 years. Dorsett also placed fourth in 1975 before winning a year later. He rushed for 2,150 yards in 12 games in his winning season. Since then, Matt Cavanaugh (seventh, 1977), Dan Marino (fourth, 1981; ninth, 1982) and Craig Heyward (5th, 1987) have done well among players at conventional Heisman positions- 4 Cavanaugh and Marine are quarterbacks, Heyward a running back. . Two Panthers at less conventional positions have made Heisman history in this decade. Hugh Green, a defensive end, finished second to George Rogers in 1980. No defensive player has won theaward since Leon Hart in 1949, and Green had the second best vote total ever among defensive linemen. Offensive tackle Bill Fralie also created a first——-no offensive linemen had ever placed in the top 10 1976 Heisman Trophy Winer Tony Dorset! twice. Fralic was eighth in 1983 and sixth in 1984. His outcome is even more nota- ble considering that no offensive lineman has ever won, and only two others have finished higher than Fralic in the last 15 years. But Pitt success in the Heisman is not just a modern phenomenon. Marshall Goldberg earned third- and second-place finishes in 1937 and 1938, respectively. Edgar (Special Delivery) Jones finished seventh in 1941. In 1960, Mike Ditka garnered a sixth-place standing. Pitt in the Polls Associated Press 1936 . Minnesota LSU . PITTSBURGH . Alabama .

The region has a stable population and work force. And while serious obstacles remain, there are preliminary hopes for economic growth, particu- larly along the Valley’s riverfront property. These were the findings of a recent two-day conference, held at the Nemacolin Conference Center. The talks brought together a task force of leaders from academia, government, business and the community to discuss the future of the distressed mill towns in the Mon Valley. The conference, titled “Mill Towns: Despair, Hopes and Opportunities,” was the third in a series of discussions on strategic regional issues chaired by Pitt President Wesley W. Posvar in recent years. The conference analyzed forces working for and against the future developments of mill towns, leadership and organizational opportuni- ties, and financial resources to promote post- industrial recovery. “The time has come,” Posvar said, “to stop thinking of the mill towns as the sad by—product of high technology. They are here, they have real strength, and they are coming back from economic devastation.” Noting recent visits to Pitt by West European leaders, Posvar noted, “Other places in the world are watching what happens here. The revitalization of the Mon Valley can be a model for the transition of heavy—industry areas into a post—industrial age.” Vajai Singh, director of Pitt’s Center for Social and Urban Research and the conference organizer, said that the crisis of the Mon mill towns and communities like them across the country has reached a point where the shock and anxiety of economic dislocation is being replaced by the urge to do something about it. Singh argued that “the crisis of these towns is now in a maturing state, where anxieties are beginning to be supplemented by constructive energies. This conference resulted in some newly feasible, realistic and productive visions for the future of these towns.” Among the task force recommendations: 0 Commonwealth legislation and action to enable restructuring of political and taxing authorities, leading to new and expanded business ventures. A new major expressway to lessen the Valley’s sense of isolation. The task force also called for passenger railroad expansion from the Valley to Oakland and downtown Pittsburgh. The establishment of multijurisdictional service districts and tax—base sharing among the Valley communities. The development of regional leadership through the expansion of the Strategy 21 concept—an economic development plan cur- rently involving major political and university leaders. New resources targeted for community development corporations (CDCs) in the region, and innovative programs to identify and support new community leaders. According to Dr. Posvar, “Small industrial communities of the Mon Valley can compete in today’s global economy if they build on their own strengths, cooperate among themselves, and make connections with the growth areas of west- ern Pennsylvania.” He noted several valuable assets within the Mon Valley: 74 communities with 385,000 people—as many as live in Pittsburgh, $5 billion in taxable property, 100,000 jobs, a river environment, and a rich heritage. But the conference reports that serious prob- lems remain, including an aging labor force, poor primary health care, and a lingering atmosphere of frustration. Training for new jobs, the task force reports, has been inadequate and misdirected. Several new training initiatives were recommended. The conference also urged the creation of new jobs through an “enterprise zone” of entrepreneurs down the Mon Valley. Posvar said the 30 plus recommendations of the conference will be pub- lished and distributed to political and commu- nity organizations at the state and local levels. I Dr. Wesley w. Posvar President The University of Pittsburgh recently completed a year—long celebration of its bicentennial—200 years of academic excellence. The institution and its president have begun a third century of chal- lenge and accomplishment. “The bicentennial offered all of us a fine opportunity to look back and take stock of where we are and where we’re going,” says Dr. Wesley W. Posvar, now in his 21st year as Pitt’s president. “We looked back with pride at our achievements and our consequent strengths, and planned our goals for the future. We remain very proud that our department of athletics has achieved a sound combination of commitment to academic success measured in grades and graduations and successful performances in competition.” Dr. Posvar demonstrated in his own college career that success in athletics can complement high academic attainment. He was a college ath- lete at the United States Military Academy at West Point (Class of ’46), where he also gradu- ated first in his class, achieving one of the Academy’s all-time highest academic records. Winning a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford, he earned master’s degrees in philosophy, politics and economics. At Harvard he earned an M.S. in public adminstration and a Ph.D. in political science. As an Air Force pilot, Dr. Posvar conducted test flights on some of the earliest jets, and later flew in the Berlin Airlift. He served on the stra- tegic planning staff at the Pentagon and the Social Sciences Division at the Air Force Academy. Dr. Posvar was named one of the Ten Outstanding _Young Men in the United States by the U.S. Junior Chamber of Com- merce in 1959. He’s past president of the Business-Higher Education Forum, comprising America’s top corporate leaders and university presidents. “A great university,” President Posvar has emphasized, “doesn’t just contribute to the cul- tural life or athletic scene of a city; it is also a major force in the economic vitality of its regions.” Posvar was instrumental in negotiating the $100 million Gulf/Chevron gift to Pitt, through which the 54-building Gulf research facility has become a center of research, development and high tech production. Also because of Posvar the University recently broke ground for a $28 million Biotechnology Center to develop medicines, vaccines, and new bio- medical products. ' In 1986 Posvar was honored by Pittsburgh Magazine as co-recipient of its first “Pittsburgher of the Year” award. President Posvar and Richard Cyert, president of Carnegie Mellon, were recognized for “their vision and leadership, and for forging bonds with industry and govern- ment that will carry Pittsburgh into the twenty- first century.” The university presidents were chosen by the magazine’s editorial board with the advice of Pittsburgh education, labor, reli- gious, and arts representatives. During Pitt’s bicentennial, Posvar served as moderator of a global symposium on how gov- ernment, industry, and education can join forces for the future. Members of the InterAction Council—a worldwide organization of former heads of government—participated in the sym- posium at Pitt. This exchange of ideas marked the first time the council had ever met on a university campus. Mrs. Posvar sings professionally as Mildred Miller, a mezzo—soprano who is internationally acclaimed as a recording artist and Lieder singer and who was a principal artist for twenty—three years at the Metropolitan Opera. An active civic leader, she is founder and Artist Director of the Pittsburgh Opera Theater. The Posvars have three children: Wesley, Marina, and Lisa. Dr. Edwa E. Bozik Director of Athletics Ed Bozik has been the Director of Athletics at the University of Pittsburgh since September 1, 1982. Prior to that, he served seven years as the Executive Assistant to President Wesley Posvar. The Department of Athletics under Dr. Bozik’s stewardship has been guided by a set of objectives provided to him by President Posvar. Improved academic performance of all student athletes continues to be the first priority, and the effort, attention and resources dedicated to that goal have paid substantial dividends. In the mostrecent survey of graduation rates, more than 80 percent of financially-aided Pitt student athletes graduated from the university. This per- formance places Pitt well above the national average and in the forefront of public universi- ties across the country. Improved athletic performances in all varsity sports became the second major objective and the foundation laid since 1982 paid substantial dividends in the past year. The football team under Coach Mike Gottfried finished with an 8-3 regular-season record and returned to a post- season bowl game after a three—year hiatus. The men’s basketball team under Coach Paul Evans won the Big East Conference regular-season championship and earned its second successive bid to the NCAA championship tournament. With improved financial aid and operational budgets, other varsity sports programs for both men and women began to advance to champion- ship caliber. The women’s volleyball team earned its second consecutive bid to the NCAA champi- onship; the women’s and men’s swimming and diving teams won their sixth consecutive Big East championship. National championships were earned by wrestler Pat Santoro with an undefeated season and sprinter Lee McRae, who garnered his fourth NCAA title. Fund raising has reached the $1.3 million mark during Dr. Bozik’s tenure. Substantial improvements in the athletic facilities have been completed, including construction of a new ath- letics administration building in Pitt Stadium; continued improvements in Fitzgerald Field House, including new offices, a players’ lounge, and a newly remodeled weight room; a new grass practice field for football and soccer; and permanent lights and a substantially enlarged weight room in Pitt Stadium. Construction will begin this fall on a multi—purpose indoor sports complex. Dr. Bozik has been active as a member of the NCAA Executive Committee, serving as Chair- man of the Division I Championships Commit- tee and on the Staff Evaluations and Marketing Subcommittees. He is a board member of the NCAA Foundation. A 1946 graduate of Donora (Pa.) High School, Dr. Bozik received his B.S. from California University of Pennsylvania in 1953 and later earned his Ph.D. in Political Science from Georgetown University. Commitment in education runs throughout the Bozik family. His wife JoAn, a native of California, Pa., holds degrees in speech pathol- ogy and deaf education and a Ph.D. in educa- tional psychology. The Bozik children have also continued this educational commitment. Daughter Peggy Jo holds undergraduate music and psychology degrees from Pitt and is also a graduate of the Pitt Law School. Son Michael, a Notre Dame graduate, along with his wife, Beth, are gradu- ates of the Pitt School of Medicine. They reside in Ann Arbor, Mich., with their new son, Mat- thew. Son Tim, also a Notre, Dame graduate, is employed as an executive editor for the College Book Division of Prentice-Hall. He and his wife, Elizabeth, reside in Manhattan. Dr. Bozik’s mother, Mrs. Ann Bozik, retired several years ago from the Scotland, Pa., School for Veterans’ Children. 129 730 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH Administration w.

Academic Support Services Lloyd Wston It is consuming, the time and effort required in being a student- athlete at the University of Pitts- burgh. They not only have to practice, travel, and compete, they have to maintain a full schedule of classes. Because of the University’s commitment to both athletic and academic excellence, the Academic Support Service was established in 1976 to assist Pitt athletes in progressing toward their degrees and achieving academic and per- sonal goals. In the 12 years since, it has evolved into a model of its kind in the country. There is a wide range of support, beginning with an orientation to the University, its rules and regulations, campus life, and support services. The Academic Support Service offers academic advising, tutoring, the strengthening of learning skills and study habits, and personal and career counseling. Not only is the progress of each athlete monitored, but classroom performance is also closely checked. The Academic Support Service is directed by Paul Yuna, a former Pitt football player who is also pursuing a Ph.D. Assisting him are Ruth E. Davis ll, coordinator of the unit’s work with the football team; Beverly Bartel, who is re- sponsible for the tutorial com- ponent; Dr. Lloyd Weston, a former Pitt football All-American responsible for academic and per- sonal counseling; Dave Pistolesi, coordinator of the unit’s efforts with the men’s basketball team; and Marette Simpson, the adminis- trative assistant. All are committed to assisting Pitt’s student—athletes in achieving their academic goals.

Medical Staff The Panthers receive medical care provided by the University Division of Sports Medicine, which sponsors regular sports medicine clinics at Pitt Stadium where Pitt varsity athletes are examined and treated. Dr. Freddie H. Fu, team physician and orthopaedic surgeon, is assisted by Dr. Paul Fadale and Dr. Christopher Harner (Assistant Team Physicians), Dr. Paul Nelson (Neurology), Dr. Thomas Painter (Internal Medicine) and Dr. Stephen Salyer (Sports Medicine Fellow). In addition, a staff of consulting specialists is avail- able at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine to assist in providing top quality medi- cal treatment to more than 500 male and female varsity athletes. Hospital care is provided at Presbyterian—University Hospital. Prior to any practices or competition, each varsity athlete receives a comprehensive physical examination. The physical well—being of the ath- letes is monitored during competition and train- ing. Effort is made to provide not only treatment for injury or illness that may occur, but also preventive measures which will make participa- tion as safe as possible. To achieve these goals, the Division of Sports Medicine boasts a highly qualified staff of trainers, including head football trainer Robert Blanc and assistant football trainer Mark Pardee. The University of Pittsburgh offers a National Athletic Training Association approved under- graduate curriculum designed to prepare stu- dents for certification examination. This program was established in 1975 and is offered through the School of Education Program in Health, Physical, and Recreation Education. Dr. Freddie H. Fu Team Physician Internationally renowned surgeon Dr. Freddie H. Fu joined the Pitt athletic staff in 1986 as team physician and orthopaedic surgeon. Dr. Fu graduated summa cum laude from Dartmouth College in 1974, and received his B.M.S. in 1975 from Dartmouth Medical School. He earned his medical degree in 1977 at the University of Pittsburgh and completed his general surgery internship at Brown University. He then returned to Pitt to study under an orthopaedic research fellowship and complete his residency in orthopaedic surgery. During that time, Dr. Fu studied under an A.O. Interna- tional Fellowship at the Hannover Trauma Center in West Germany, and studied arthro- scopic surgery at East Lansing, Michigan. He is currently the Medical Director at the University of Pittsburgh Institute for Sports and Preventive Medicine and Director of Sports Medicine Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. Dr. Fu, who has been elected to the Herodcus Society, a prestigious sports—medicine organiza- tion with limited world-wide membership, was honored this past May when he toured Europe representing the United States. He travelled through 17 cities as the Sports Medicine Travel- ling Fellow representing this nation as an orthopaedic specialist in sports medicine. He visited nearly 35 sports medicine centers. He is also the Medical Director of the Pittsburgh Marathon, Company Doctor for the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, and Team Physician of Mt. Lebanon High School. During his career Dr. Fu has published over three dozen manuscripts, books and articles and has prepared and delivered various film and slide presentations reaching audiences in Europe _ and Asia. In 1987, Dr. Fu made a slide presen- tation about Pitt football on a Hong Kong tele- vision show. Dr. Fu is involved with several research projects, many of which examine the effects of various activities on ligaments and joints. He has a large involvement in the community —— Dr. Fu is on the Board of Trustees of the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, Board of Governors of The Rivers Club, Board of Directors of The University Club, and he is President of the Children’s Festival Chorus of Pittsburgh. Dr. Fu and his wife Hilda have two children, Gordon, 11, and Joyce, 6, and reside in Point Breeze. Robert Blanc Head Football Trainer Robert Blanc was recently named head foot- ball trainer at Pitt after working as head athletic trainer at Duquesne University. He spent two years at Duquesne, and was responsible for 16 varsity and two club teams. Among his achievements there was developing a five-year plan for the Sports Medicine Depart- ment which included designing, equipping, and coordinating daily use of a new athletic training facility. Blanc graduated from Slippery Rock in 1982, and earned a Master’s Degree in Physical Edu- cation in 1984 at Ohio University. He is a certi- fied paramedic, and works in that capacity (along with related administrative matters) in Bethel Park. He is a member of the National Athletic Trainers Association. Blanc began his training career as the Head Athletic Trainer at New Lexington (OH) High School in 1983. A year later, Blanc began work- ing for the Steelers, a part-time association he still maintains. In that capacity, Blanc works at training camp and at home games in all aspects of sports medicine. He also is involved in the scouting department, giving physical examina- tions to several prospective draft choices. Blanc and his wife Margie reside in Whitehall. Mark Pardee Assistant Football Trainer Mark Pardee is now in his third season at Pitt, and second as assistant football trainer. He also works with the baseball team and has previ- ously worked as trainer for the soccer and wres- tling teams. Pardee, originally from St. John’s, MI, graduated from Alma College in 1981, and received his Master’s Degree from Indiana State in 1983. He spent two years working at DePauw as an assistant for former Pitt trainer Rex Call. Pardee worked in sports medicine clinics in St. Louis and Miami and with Miami Jai Alai in 1985 before coming to Pitt in 1986. Pardee also runs Pitt’s Athletic Training Workshop for high school students each summer. Pardee, 29, is single and resides in Shadyside. He is a member of the National Athletic Trainers Association. 133 134 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH Panther Support Staff Running a major college football program requires a team effort behind the scenes. The Pitt support staff is experienced and their func- tions are many, from making sure equipment gets to and from road games, to photocopying playbooks legibly, to editing press releases and program stories, to handling the heavy volume of mail a football team attracts. The Pitt foot- ball team’s success is a strong example of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts; like the eleven players on the field, everyone carrying out duties properly helps Mike Gott- fried and his staff concentrate on everyone’s goal — winning football games.

Heddleston Mid-West, USA Director of Athletics Assistant Athletic Director for Development Mort Lerner (left) the 1987 Golden Panther of the Year, with Wesley W. Posvar, Pitt President. The Pitt Golden Panthers were founded on Dec. 1, 1970. Their original purpose was to promote interest, enthusiasm, and support among students, alumni, faculty and friends of the University of Pittsburgh for the betterment of the athletic program. That purpose has changed. In 1974, the Golden Panthers shifted their ideology towards encouraging and soliciting contributions to the athletic fund. Since then, the Golden Panthers have raised more than $10 million, with most of these funds going towards providing scholarships for varsity athletes. These contributions have also enabled Pitt to improve facilities, augment the funding of non-revenue sports, and establish a tradition for continued success in all varsity sports. 1988 is proving to be one of the most promis- ing years in the history of the Golden Panthers. Based on the highly-effective “Give Me Five!” fund drive, where all present members strive to bring five new members into the organization (currently 800 new members and $130,000 in new money), the Golden Panthers are nearing their record—breaking goal of 1.6 million. They are also working on a capital campaign of raising $2.5 million dollars for a new indoor workout facility and $2 million for an endowed scholarship. The vitality of this organization comes from its volunteer members—dedicated, loyal, and enthusiastic people proud of Pitt and its student athletes—and from Assistant Athletic Director for Development Bob Heddleston (formerly the Executive Director of the Golden Panthers) and his assistant, Denver Allen. Heddleston has been a primary force behind the Golden Panthers since being named Execu- tive Director in 1976. Contributions have increased from $200,000 in 1976 to more than $1.5 million as of July 1988. Allen, who began last year, directed the “Give Me Five!” drive. All contributors to the Golden Panthers receive benefits based on their level of contribu- tion. These benefits include attendance at special functions, ticket priority, special parking privileges, and the Golden Panther Prints news- letter. Donors also receive credit in the Univer- sity’s annual giving fund and its giving clubs.

Theresa Nuzzo Terry Brown Nate Dixon Head Cheerleading Coach Co-captain Co-captain 736 Bands When O’Neill Sanford took over as Pitt’s band director in 1985, there were 90 musicians—in the entire band. “It was definitely a problem,” San- ford says, “especially for a stadium as big as ours.” Sanford went out and remedied the situation. There were 140 people in the band last year, and in 1988, that number will increase by 40. lt’s a positive indication about the direction in which the band is heading. “We’ll be a much better band,” Sanford said. “This year’s recruiting has been terrific. We’ve had a record—number of l00—plus new students.” The enlarged band will field nearly 225 mem- bers, including 25 colorguards and the Golden Girls. O’NelI Sanford Director of Bands O’Neill Sanford is in his fourth year as Pitt’s Director of Bands, and in that time, the pro- gram has grown considerably. Sanford came to Pitt in the summer of 1985 from the University of Minnesota, where he was band director for nine years. He previously had worked at Mississippi Valley State College, Virginia State College, and Sevier (ha) High School. Sanford received his degree in music educa- tion from Southern University and his Master’s Degree from Vandercook College of Music. Davi oy Associate Director of Bands David Moy is in his fourth year as the Associ- ate Director of Bands, coming to Pitt from the University of Minnesota with O’Neill Sanford. He was the assistant marching band director there for five years. Moy’s responsibilities at Pitt include the per- cussion section, writing drill maneuvers, and administration. The improvement in the band will be obvious not only on the football field and at Fitzgerald Field House for basketball games, but at various other University and community events. The music the band performs is as diverse as its individuals, from marches to classical to contemporary to broadway. Both Sanford and Pi Ba Stafl associate director David Moy want to make certain that there is a song for everyone. “We try to do a variety of music throughout the season,” Sanford said, “in hopes that we can touch all our fans at some time or another.” Director of Bands O’Neill Sanford Associate Director of Bands David Moy Assistant Director Jack Anderson Assistant Director Mel Orange Percussion Dan Yadesky Color Guard Linda Rittenhouse Color Guard Assistant Amy Lederer Golden Girl Choreographer Ronald Tassone Assistant Choreographer Judy Rubino Secretary Elaine Tatka Capital Campaign Secretary Marie Gernert Operational Crew John Luptak Lou Rusiski Announcer Clayton Hartman Photographer Harry Bloomberg 137 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH Pitt Varsity Sports I The University of Pittsburgh has a diverse and successful varsity athletic program featuring 19 team sports. Pitt football has been nationally prominent throughout this century, and many of Pitt’s other varsity teams and athletes recently have enjoyed great success in Big East Confer- ence and national Division I competition. Last year, for the first time in Pitt history, the men’s basketball team won the Big East regular season championship outright after shar—_ ing the title the previous year. The men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams won their respective conference titles for the sixth consecu- tive year — as many years as Pitt has been in the Big East. The women’s volleyball team earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tourna- ment, its second NCAA berth in as many years. In addition to team successes, two individuals, sprinter Lee McRae and wrestler Pat Santoro, captured NCAA titles. McRae’s victory in the 55-meter dash was his third consecutive indoor title; Santoro capped an undefeated season by capturing his first national championship. Coach John Vasvary’s men’s track team con- tinued to be successful, placing second in both the Big East Indoor and Outdoor Champion- ships. The Panthers also placed seventh in the nation during the indoor season. All-American McRae led the way while winning his fourth NCAA championship title; junior All-American Eric Cannon took three individual titles at the Big East Outdoor Championship and helped the 4x100 relay team to its second place finish. Cannon was recognized as the Most Outstanding Performer at that meet. The women’s track team broke 17 school records during the indoor season and displayed consistent winning performances. Junior Debbie Bonner won her third conference title in the 55—meter high hurdles. Coach Steve Lewis’s team finished third in the Big East Indoor Meet and second in the Outdoor Championships. In the fall, the men’s cross country team fin- ished third in the Big East Championship meet while the women’s squad finished seventh. The 15th-ranked Pitt wrestling team posted an * — 8-5-1 record and four of Coach Rande Stottle— f \_ myer’s wrestlers qualified for the NCAAs. ‘ fly _ I Alan Utter became the first unseeded wrestler .

In his second season, Coach Paul Evans steered the men’s basketball team to the second round of the NCAA championship tournament and compiled a 24-7 record, including winning the Red Lobster Classic in December. All- Americans Jerome Lane and Charles Smith, the Big East Player of the Year, were Pitt’s first- ever first-round NBA draft selections. Guard Sean Miller was the Big East Freshman of the Year. The ll-1 men’s swimming and diving team coached by Dick Bradshaw and the 10-3 women’s team coached by Dave Belowich con- tinued to dominate the Big East. Senior Judy Haughton became the third person in Big East history to win the same event four consecutive years when she claimed the conference title in the 200—meter butterfly.

Senior men’s. tennis player Greg Campbell, Coach Dieffen- bach’s Most Valuable Player, set a school record with 51 career victories; the men’s team finished at 10-10. As this fall season opens, Coach Joe Lux- bacher looks forward to the chance for his young soccer team to improve on last season’s 4-10-1 record. The women’s basketball team doubled their wins from the year before and ended up with a 14-15 record under Coach Kirk Bruce. Leading scorer Lorri Johnson was selected to the Big East All-Tournament team last season. Senior outfielder Brian Lohmar broke three baseball records: most career home runs (20), at bats (445), and games played (121). Outfielder Bill Sherbondy was named Big East Freshman of the Year. As Coach Bobby Lewis begins his 34th season, the team looks to improve on the 9-20 record of last season. Pitt athletes continued to perform well in the classroom. 1n the winter term of 1988, 112 out of 420 Pitt student—athletes were named to the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll; that was 26% of the total student athlete population. Seventeen of the 70 seniors who finished their eligibility in 1988 had grade point averages of 3.0 or higher; that represented 24.2% of the senior student—athletes. Pitt student—athletes received three out of six possible Big East Conference postgraduate scholarship awards. The Big East Female Scholar Athlete of the Year award was presented to Pitt volleyball player Noreen Coughlin. Diver Chris Blair and swimmer Marian Cassidy also received Postgraduate Scholarships from the Big East. As the University of Pittsburgh enters its third century, the varsity sports teams will continue to add to the school’s winning traditions. 739 140 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH The Varsity Walk On the University of Pittsburgh campus, between the Cathedral of Learning and Heinz Chapel, is a sidewalk known as the Varsity Walk. There, embedded in the stones, are the names of former Pitt athletes who have promoted the University through their athletic or academic achievements. The Varsity Walk was conceived in 1950 as a way to honor athletes and remember their con- tribution to the University of Pittsburgh. New members are added each year. The distinctive hand—carved stones were first presented as the Athletic Committee Award and the Charles C. Hartwig Award. The Athletic Committee recog- nized the best athlete from any sport. The Charles Hartwig Award was given to the senior athlete who promoted and sponsored the best interests of Pitt athletics, in honor of the 1934 All-America tight end. In 1971 the awards were changed to the Panther and Blue-Gold awards, respectively. The Panther Award is presented to the gradu- ating senior athlete who has promoted Pitt athletics through his/her outstanding athletic achievement. An athlete receives the Blue-Gold Award when he/she represents the student-athlete ideal based on academic scholarship, athletic achieve- ment, leadership qualities and citizenship. The awards were expanded to include females in 1975. The 1988 winners at the senior award banquet hosted by University President Wesley W. Posvar: (clock- wise, top left) diver Chris Blair, Athletic Director Ed Bozik, diver Tricia Ney, volleyball’s Lisa Stewart, basketball’s Charles Smith, volley- hall’s Noreen Coughlin, Posvar and sprinter Lee McRae.

The original Stadium Committee appointed by the Board of Trustees to oversee a bond sale and construction included George H. Clapp, Presi- dent; Homer D. Williams, Chairman; K.E. Davis, Secretary; A.R. Hamilton, A. J. Kelly, Jr., C. W._ Ridinger, C. L. Wooldridge, C. D. Wettach and Floyd Rose, Committee Members. Construction of the stadium began in August, 1924, and was completed September 1, 1925, less than four weeks before Pitt played Washington & Lee in the first game. The stadium was officially dedicated when Pitt hosted Carnegie Tech on October 24, 1925. The facility was originally constructed because Forbes Field could only hold 32,000 spectators. The new stadium held 70,000 people, and plans were already designed to expand up to 100,000 if the demand was that great. Later, the seating area was actually lessened to 56,500 — the current capacity — to expand the track which surrounds the field. Pitt Stadium, designed by engineer W.S. Hind- man (Pitt class of 1898) was a unique facility at the time of its construction because it housed nearly all of the university’s non—aquatic sports: football, basketball, track, baseball, rifle and gymnastics. The basketball courtin the Stadium Pavillion (beneath the ramps inside Gate 2) served as Pitt’s home from 1925 to 1951, when Fitzgerald Field House opened. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Carnegie Tech (now Carnegie Mellon University) have used Pitt Stadium as their home fields at one time or another. The stadium has undergone several significant changes, particularly within the past 20 years. In 1970, Astroturf became the playing surface, replacing natural grass. A Superturf surface replaced the Astroturf in 1984. One improvement that hit close to home with Panther supporters in the late 1970s was a change in seating structures from wood to metal benches, eliminating the splintery discomfort from some 17 miles of wood that had been subjected to a half- .79. 1 403*» /”' century of the elements. r , , h , , 1.

Eiseman, a 1967 Pitt graduate. George J. Prussin contributed $75,000 to the planned indoor athletic complex and wanted, in some way, “to honor and sustain the memory” of Eiseman. Hence the Eiseman-Prussin Room. Prussin had been funding the Edwin H. Eise- man scholarship, given to an undergraduate College of Arts and Sciences student—athlete. The scholarship fund has grown to more than $84,000. A 1967 Pitt graduate and a member of Pitt’s baseball team, Prussin became friendly with Eiseman through the Phi Epsilon Pi fraternity and through intramural sports. Eiseman died of Hodgkins disease in 1969. “The Department of Athletics is deeply grate— ful to George Prussin for this generous gift,” Pitt Athletic Director Dr. Edward E. Bozik said. “The renamed Eiseman-Prussin Athletic Confer- ence Room, in which we conduct many impor- tant events, will help perpetuate the memory of Mr. Eiseman.” Lights On Pitt Stadium has experienced its share of cosmetic changes in its 53-year history, from artificial turf being installed in 1970 to a remodeling in the late 1970s and 1980s. One other date can be included: Sept. 19, 1987, the night Pitt played its first game under the stadium’s permanent lights. “We have a first-class lighting system,” explained John Sopcizak, director of project management. ‘‘It’s one of the better ones in the country.” Six standards surround Pitt Stadium—four on the home side of the field, two on the visitor’s side. Each pole contains 48 1,500—watt bulbs. The tallest of the poles—the one outside Gate 2—stands 160 feet. Most of the others are 140 feet high. Pitt’s first night game at Pitt Stadium, played with the aid of portable lights, was against Purdue in the 1985 season opener. A permanent, state-of-the-art lighting system was installed at Pitt Stadium in the summer of 1987. Six poles, ranging from 110- to 180-feet tall, house fifty 1,500 watt metal halide lighting fix- tures. The system is designed to reduce glare and augment television depth perception.
