-- Best team: With Dorsett running for 1,948 yards and winning the Heisman Trophy and Johnny Majors on the sideline, the Panthers ran off a perfect 12-0 record in 1876 to finish No. 1 in both the AP and coaches polls. Pitt opened the season with a 31-10 win at Notre Dame and closed it with a 27-3 Sugar Bowl victory against No. 2 Georgia. Amazingly, Dorsett was the only pick from the team in the first six rounds on the following spring's draft.
Earlier you said their first season was in 1890. What?
-- Players currently in NFL camps: 23 (most notably Arizona WR Fitzgerald, Tampa Bay CB Darrelle Revis, Philadelphia RB LaSean McCoy)
LeSean, I believe.
-- Little known fact: With eight players inducted in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Pitt ranks third among all colleges, trailing only Southern California (11) and Notre Dame (10) and tied with Ohio State (10) and Michigan (10).
If they have 8, how are they tied with OSU and Michigan with 10?
Brown's 6.63 yards per carry average still ranks first in school history, followed by Brown at 5.79.
Who follows who? This makes it look like Davis has the 6.6 ypc average. I think.

I'm going to file this under "Things that happen when you file a blog post after midnight." Pretty sloppy of me, I know. And I apologize. Thanks for the heads up.
