you look like it looks like he's not going to gain much yardage covered with any turns and on all of a sudden you've got Tim you know I was amazed to hear how fast he really is he runs a four point three five he has been clocked that fast he's won a few guys who has ever run the 40-yard dash that fast some pro scouts have clocked him at that and he just doesn't look that fast to me because he really glides in and wide reciever forfeit number 19 randy brutish and more known for his special team kamikaze Ifill publicly see for finishing later in the game its first attempt from the west virginia 30 Cavanaugh the option Cavanaugh in size of 25 to about the 23 yard line Chuck Smith number 78 a 6-3 245 senior tackle makes the tackle on Cavanaugh Cavanaugh came back pretty fast after a fractured fibula and Tommy usik did a heck of a job of filling in for him you might want to amplify on that did you cover this team music was the amazing story Cavanaugh as you see there was out for a few games with a broken ankle bald and music was like 16 quarterback back a few months ago he wasn't even on scholarship he came in earned the starting job and kept the panthers undefeated it is second down and two Bobby Hutton the full-back gets the first down as he crosses the 20 to about the 17 or 18 yard line Joe gellick number 65 and norm Patterson number 91 makes the tackle for West Virginia on Hutton it was during that period when ducek was the quarterback the fit went back more to the I formation and it gave Tony Dorsett a chance to carry the ball more it was during that period that Tony really racked up most of his yards however Dorsett has indicated that he's glad to have Cavanaugh back in there because it gives the poor balance it is burst intent for the fit Panthers from the West Virginia 17 Dorsett on the pitch to the right now gets a block from Hutton thanks a very typical Tony Dorsett drive for a bit faster touchdown and with 733 left to go in the first quarter the Panthers take the lead six to nothing on a 17 yard first by the hawk you see why this young man is the most illustrious ground Gator in NCAA history already has nine records in the NCAA book he is within reach of 18 is rushed for over three files he has that kind of speed we talked about this with the power sweep and I think we ought to say that he gets the terrific blocking clock away outstanding blocking I think one of the great things about the Pitt Panthers is their downfield blocking they've been super additive Carson long has been super at that 37 in a row extra points for Carson long the Pitt Panthers lead seven to nothing we'll be back at fish stadium adjustable [Music] after after watching Oh Jay Simpson at USC in 1967 to 1968 I just think I'd ever see a tailback that would be that good but I think I found the band there he is you get an idea of his feet too he just turned on a burst and left people along the sidelines he uses a change of speed better than anybody I've ever seen there you see the score Pittsburgh seven to nothing over West Virginia Carson long set to kickoff to the West Virginia Mountaineers 40 lead owl 44 to wayne woods and 30 to Dave Riley deep to receive for West Virginia [Music] 7:33 let's go in the first quarter first of all setting the ball up on the deer hash mark and as we mentioned a little bit arson mom set the record a week ago of the post kick scoring points in the history of NCAA football nobody knew about it till Tuesday doors has been breaking so many records nobody understood what was going on we want to welcome the people from the majority of the country who've been watching Notre Dame in Alabama to the Pitt west virginia game here at v stadium in the Mountaineers we're in trouble on the goal line on the kickoff following a fit such down list 15 Mountaineers have recovered but they are backed up and the Pitt Panthers are fired up all over one half yard line Tony Dorsett has just run 70 yards for a touchdown and there you see the score seven to nothing Pittsburgh we have about seven and a half minutes ago in the first quarter this just needs to Brisky along with the grouse cup once again I look at Tony Dorsett up the first touchdown of the day 17 yard run its the power pitch around right in all right let's go back to South Bend and Chris Schenkel West Virginia 1st down and 10 from their own 1/2 yard line kendra passing from the end zone complete to lewis at the 11 yard line it looks to be enough yardage for the first town making the tackle number 37 leroy Felder and number 31 safety man Bob curry for the Pitt Panthers why this is a dangerous call back at your old itself to throw the down and answer the wide receiver he has a lot of confidence in Steve Louis of the quick slant in tow Kendra de Lewis the best passing combination for the Mountaineer it got them off the goal line quickly first intent on their own 11 here's a flair pass out to woods he's hit behind the line of scrimmage Leroy Felder number 37 coming up from his defensive back position at junior at 510 and 190 making an outstanding defensive play the lost is about two yards back to the 9 yard line it'll be second down and 12 now for the Mountaineers quick screen from back in there that's another risky call Leroy Felder is one of three good ones in that defensive secondary what do they have total of 19 interceptions 19 going into this game and Bob curry is a matter of fact his tie for third in the nation Kendra rolling out to the right on third to have him out of bounds Cedric Thomas made the completion but he was out of bounds 21 JC Wilson their defending for Pitt I believe I said third down that was second down it is now third down and 12 for the Mountaineers from their own nine yard line third and 12 and in this obvious passing situation should they choose to continue to go upstairs the most likely target would be split in Steve Lewis who is far and away the leading receiver on the team just four shy of 40 which would make him second for the season reception third down and 12 easily on the draw play walter easily out here the 20 yard line arnie Wetherington number 59 makes the tackle forfeit he'll be short a first down yardage by about two and a half to three yards and so West Virginia will have to kick it away from deep in their own territory the Pitt cheerleaders on the sideline and they have had a lot to cheer about this year Betty back to five Willie Taylor 29 to receive for the Panthers standing at his own 40-yard line Fetty will kick it away from about his aunt Anne rushes on Taylor that's it bounce it takes the pit bounce inside the 50 yard line at about the 48 yard line of West Virginia and it's down there by the Mountaineers this Monday on ABC's NFL Monday Night Football the juice will be in action at the Buffalo Bills we'll go up against Dallas Cowboys from Texas Stadium and Irving Texas it has not been a good year for the bills but the juice is always to show it you won't want to miss that one the Dallas Cowboys are eight and one this year they have as good a record as anybody in the league with Staubach enjoying a super season it's an important game for the Cowboys they have only a one game lead over the st. Louis Cardinals Monday night at 9:00 NFL Monday Night Football Dorsett on first and ten 78 Chuck Smith makes the tackle a gain of about three yards on the play the ball just shy of the Mountaineer 45 yard line it'll be second down in seven well after an opening series in which Matt Cavanaugh elected to go upstairs he's gone back to the basics been a TV show from there on again split backs in the backfield second down and seven Cavan on the option Dorsett experts are looking for Tony [Applause] you lose a couple of jars 19:10 Braswell a number 13 Johnny shell up at the secondary make the tackle John Major's told us yesterday that his coaching has made Tony Dorsett a heck of a runner just the same way Jack Curtis made me a heck of a passer at the University of Utah I don't know if you could coach this sort of thing or not I think there's certain natural instincts involved right here Tony says on the field sometimes he feels little bit supernatural sort of dream like it looks like a dream out there stuff that doesn't 36 yards so far pradosham it is third down and 10 following the loss of three Cavanaugh still looking for a receiver hangs it up out of bounds playing it safe on third and 10 and the Panthers will kick it away from the West Virginia the 48 yard line and so after the Panthers took it in good field position their previous possession West Virginia rises to the occasion and cover they have some white shirts following mr. Dorsett around this afternoon very slider back deep to punt I thought hanging up there fair catch call for by prime or Tom fried more takes it as a 14 yard line and the Mountaineers again will be deep in their own hole as they go on offense once again we'll be back with Pittsburgh leading West Virginia seven to nothing I don't think if it's Stadium this afternoon this is the first sellout of the year for the Panthers 56,000 500 and a lot of them are from West Virginia with Morgantown being only 60 miles away this game whether it's played there or here always plays to an overflow crowd the Mountaineers go on offense first and ten from just short of their own 15-yard line straight up the middle the tackle made by 68 Don Parrish easily the ball carrier once again easily is a pretty big kid for a freshman he's 6 - and 210 you ran that play just a couple of times too many times that's why I'm not playing anymore there you see what the West Virginia offense has done 327 yards per game and they're passing nearly as much as they're running pretty good balance they would like to have that kind of balance today second down and six after the gain of four the pastor would woods got a first down he's at the 30 yard line the tackle made by Jeff Delaney number 14 and comfort is a penalty marker down on the field however in the flav may be nullified but it looks as if that's West Virginia's game plan to open up that Panther defense a little bit you know they've got the the guy at Dan Kent he can really throw the football he can do a lot of things he can throw running to his right or his left as you see right here and he scatters five quite a bit he'll bring guys out of the backfield that utilized the three primary receivers and this play go in favor of the Mountaineers it looks as if it is against the fit Panthers they're talking the number 75 Steve early the offensive captain from the West Virginia Mountaineers it was a second down and six play who's got enough yardage for the first down and the Panthers have backed up away there were two flags dropped on the play it is defensive holding against the Pitt Panthers and it gives West Virginia a first down at their own 33 yard line it's the best field position they've had today Lee Kendra is a streaky passer boy he can get real hot and hurt you just like example was the last drive last year in the ball game that is thrilling 1714 win I think he could please a sixth straight first in ten Mountaineers operating from their own 33 said this Thomason motion camera rolling out pressure Todd Kendra trying to find some Running Room there's a blue shirts around him and they run him out of bounds 37 Leroy Felder the first Panther to get to him he picked up a little bit of your RT show ever out past the 35 yard line there you see the situation we're in the first quarter with 328 to play in fifth leading 7 to nothing good speed in that Pittsburgh secondary Leroy Felder is a 4:6 man there's Frank Cignetti who is we mentioned earlier was an assistant right here at Pittsburgh the year that John Major's had his first head coaching done but I was think both significant majors are very very enthusiastic young coaches this is Wayne woods on the sweep to the left which gets very short drainage dragged out of bounds by number 58 Jim Cramer a number 80 hit with a mouse view the defensive end on that side gain is out to the 39 yard line it'll be third down and five yards to go for the Mountaineers from their own 39 hello there hello ladies please they're keeping warm who is your Pitt Panther if you notice they all have these buttons that say my Pitt Panther is it's third down and five Kendra on the roll out close the law it's almost intercepted by JC Wilson number 21 it was intended for number 33 Steve Lewis and so it'll be fourth and five and again West Virginia will have to kick it away there you see JC Wilson the cornerback he's another one of those guys I just talking about with a good speed for six in the 40 Leroy Felder's about four six Bob jury I think about a four seven and all of them seem to have very good instincts for the football Jeff Fetty back to punt the West Virginia again 29th Lea Taylor the receiver for pine drive low kick taken by the up back and fumbled it still live in West Virginia at the 21 yard line up ship [Applause] I'm out there fans are excited as the West Virginia players get their first Frank of the afternoon they're so happy about it there may interest another fine dried pot was taken by number 21 chase you go to the unpacked JC Wilson having a trouble gets its handle off the football or there's a big pileup who finally gets it did you see you look to be Weber West Virginia who covered the football Randy Wessler the Mountaineers get a break and that's what they need first and ten Manuel Rodriguez Rodriguez stopped by Bob curry in the secondary it's inside the 20 yard line at about the 17 of v Manuel Rodriguez the backup to Cedric Thomas coming in oh don't you love it when they start pulling out those gadget plays Johnny majors calls those cow pasture play that's right here's one of those cow pasture plays it's the inter rod the fake is the option fake is to the right the pitch goes to the wide receiver Manuel Rodriguez on second down and five it looked as if the ball might have pop loose but West Virginia recovers the tackle made by Jim Cramer and Cecil Johnson Walter easily as you can see with 318 yards on the year picks up the first down at the 11 yard line of the Pitt Panthers and the West Virginia fans have really tough life the Pitt fans are yelling for defense [Music] first intent from the 50 level West Virginia getting a break on the fumble time again it's easily up the middle crosses the channel about the nine yard line maybe to the eight Arne Wetherington number 59 makes the tackle Paul lovely number 35 is normally the starting fullback floater easily the freshman doing a good job of filling in lovely the leading ball here at the team with over 400 yards easily got two on that play second down and eight just inside the 19 yard line of the mouth here easily again down to the six yard line Kramer and Wetherington make the tackle the two linebackers forfeit third down and what looks like a passing situation now one of the plays they have liked down here is to fake the veer option and go to their crossing pattern in which they they get to criss cross between Steve Lewis and the tight end a critical situation now it is third down and about six yards to go West Virginia can get a first down without scoring a touchdown the first one the middle incomplete intended in the end zone or number 83 been McDavid height in Jeff Zeleny number 14 was defending and may have got the hand on the ball for fifth fourth and six now from the seven yard line and apparently we're going to have a field goal attempt tonight ABC Sports will present a special two-hour primetime special the Battle of the Network Stars tonight nearly $400,000 on the line from all three networks consisting of five men and three women tonight at 9:00 on ABC [Applause] bill Mackenzie's field goal attempt his foot and so West Virginia capitalizes on the fumbled punt and gets on the board with a field goal from Bill Mackenzie the fella who beat pip last year he was a walk-on 73 Pittsburgh we have just 50 seconds remaining in the first quarter of play [Music] mid Panthers will go back on offense now West Virginia is talking to coach banks Cignetti cover earlier in the week he said the past today we're going to have to have they're gonna have to get some turnovers from fish get some breaks in the game and they're going to keep it closed to stay with them and have any chance for what they certainly want to be an upset he also stressed the importance of this first quarter taking a to Pittsburgh in the first quarter [Music] want to tell you once again about what's coming up tonight at 9:00 a special sports presentation battle of the Network Stars some of the contestants for ABC will include Ron Howard of happy days and game Kaplan of welcome back kotter CBS will feel about other stars Telly Savalas Sonny Bono and Jimmy JJ Walker the memorable show you won't want to miss at the Battle of the Network Stars something for fun tonight at 9:00 Eastern Time over most of these ABC stations with 10 seconds left to go McKenzie kicked off taken by the up back Tom sniffle Walter 446 across the 30-yard line Cinda Wald is injured her probably would have been playing today in place of Bobby Hutton at fullback the Panthers with pretty good field position they go on offense first and 10 at their own 31 on the short kick by McKenzie about there's LAN defense they've had some problems with injuries and they're a little thin they're a scrappy bunch they're here to get fed everything they can Cavanaugh on the option question 2:35 Cavanaugh across the 44 45 and run out of bounds just short of the 50 yard line by Paul George number 47 the free safety that Cavanaugh's really come into his own in the last two season he shared the duty last year with Bobby and Hagar got injured earlier this season and Cavanaugh has really come on Bobby was with us yesterday in the film festival Dee was there on crutches still Cavanaugh gives him the first down at their own 48 yard line the Panthers leading 7 to 3 near the end of the first quarter Dorsett come on clusters of 50 run out of bounds at about the 47 yard line of West Virginia 22 Tom pie for the strong safety makes the play why do they call him Park as I understand it his father gave him his nickname originally there you see dorset's 39 yards so far today he can see so well even as a youngster that his father called him Hawkeye and he sees so much on a football field when he's carrying the football they just call him the hawk he also flies like a hawk get spooked he has tremendous peripheral vision and great eyesight Bobby Hutton near the 45 yard line of West Virginia 51 Frank Gleason the defensive end a junior at 6 3 and 2/10 along with Norm Patterson number 91 make the tackle Bobby Hutton a very very steady performer he plays fullback and tailback for the Panthers filling in of course for Elliott Walker who is the second most prolific ground gainer in Pitts history right behind Tony Dorsett had he not played in the shadow of Dorsett he might be a superstar it is third down and two the Panthers operating from the West Virginia 45 yard line that's the end of the first quarter as time runs up with the Pitt Panthers leading 7 to 3 over the West Virginia Mountaineers will return to pit stadium in just a moment [Music] they're really getting ready to start the second quarter steamship risky along with beat libro stuff from Zin Stadium and a backyard for all us underway for the fifth answer is leading 7 to 3 they have a first indent at the West Virginia 45 yard line and they have enjoyed excellent field position so far it is third down and three yards to go for fifth the fake to hunt Cavanaugh the option cuts inside crosses the 40 the 30 Cavanaugh down near the 25 yard line the tackle made by number 13 Johnny show in the West Virginia Secretary was known early in his career as a passer and not so much of a runner cover he's really come on as a rusher I really like the way he runs the football and watching him at the highlight film yesterday and some of the things I noticed that his running a but he's a very smart runner he uses his blockers very well he knows how to make the right cut he doesn't have the blinding speed doesn't have the speed to say a Bobby hey go ahead but he's a very smart runner first in 10 Panthers Dorsett dives over the middle gets down near the 20-yard line number 65 Joe gellick the middle guard and number 78 Chuck Smith the defensive tackle makes the play on Dorsett so far West Virginia has done a pretty good job of bottling up Tony but they really haven't given him the ball a great deal so far been used sparingly it's one of the things that Dorsett said he likes is the return of Cavanaugh gives the offense a lot more balance he may not have to carry as much but it might give him the chance to come a long one somewhere along the line gain of four on the play it is second down and six now from the 21 yard line counter option cattleman keeping Cavanaugh at the 15 down to the 14 yard line the play made by 47 Paul Jordans a senior free safety for West Virginia he jammed his hand when he went down chopper I don't know whether he hurt his wrist or what if that might affect his passing you can see him shaking it a little bit there and looking over to the bench Tommy used to start warming up your arm Cavanaugh from Youngstown Ohio Cavanaugh now for Russia's 52 yards and he's gone upstairs successfully also it's another first down for the Panthers first and 10 from a 14 yard line Dorsett inside the 10 to about the 9 yard line the hawk just keeps nipping away at your truck Smith makes the tackle music is an interesting story copper you mentioned him in case Cavanaugh was to come out of the ballgame there he is number 13 he was a sixth team quarterback wasn't even on scholarship a walk-on player they went to him early in this season when both a good and Cavanaugh were injured they went away from the passing game a little bit and relied on Dorsett a lot and he brought him through with three wins did a super job Carson suckles the old Michigan State Court thing second down and five Bobby Hutton straight up the middle here's a five-yard line the Panthers keep chipping away at a tough and scrappy West Virginia defense norm Patterson number 91 makes the tackle very close to first down yardage it'll be third down and about a yard to go at the five yard line for fifth third and short yardage they've kind of like that lead option down in here quite a bit of the time of course when they line up in the I you kind of get a sense that maybe they're gonna get the ball to their tailback and they do the powerplay with horses straight up the middle closer to go lion stops it about the two yardline Paul Jordan 47 up from the secondary to beat Dorsett along with Tom Frei for the monster man it's a first and goal now for the Panthers at the - one of the many interesting things about Tony Dorsett is that he has grown a lot physically since he first came here as a freshman I think he checked in about 155 pounds let's watch him you see he has the physical strength now he's weighing in about 185 to 190 pounds and he's really beefed up since his freshman year he can still fly he says the heavier and stronger he gets the faster he gets its first and goal from the 2 yard line of West Virginia for the Pitt Panthers they lead 7 to 3 here in the second quarter Dorsett was the goal line touchdown Pitt Dorsett with that extra second effort and you see the Pitt student section there they love it the Panthers go out in front 13 to 3 another touchdown for Tony Dorsett touch sound of her 18 for mr. TV 11 carries 53 yards already your Siddhas Amanda makes the goal 53 yards and 11 carries discover said two TDs today Carson long out of Larry's fighters hold his 38th consecutive extra point and the Pitt Panthers go out in front with 12 32 let's go play in the first half 14 to 3 we're going to be joined now by the people who've been watching the Notre Dame Alabama game we asked you in the villa tonic States to stay with us hello everyone I'm Steve Zabriskie and we welcome you viewers who've been showing the Alabama at Dona Dame game in South Bend with Mia's league Rose cup and we're here in Pitt Stadium in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania where the Pitt Panthers have now taken a 14 to 3 lead over West Virginia on this touchdown by 20 Dorsett from his tailback position one of his favorite plays the isolation Tony Dorsett gets touchdown number two now got 11 carries 53 yards just another typical day for Tony Dorsett let's go back now to Christian : but Wilkinson in South Bend Indiana Marshall log again getting ready to kick off and a bit Panthers have been pretty much in control of this game one of the key things I think so far covers midfield position it has enjoyed except for the double punt exceptional field position West Virginia has not Carson said to kickoff back deep to receive again Lee dowel number 40 plain woods 44 along with number 32 Dave Riley for West Virginia Dowell out to the 20-yard line maybe does get across the 20-yard line I think that's an important point you just made one of the real subtle things about this Pittsburgh team is their kicking game in the way it has influenced field position for the last few years with Carson long and Larry spider they call em Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid spider is butch and bison is Sundance in the spider holes requires too long they are kicking blood ease and they have really done the job first in ten West Virginia from their own 20 the pitch easily around the right side up near the 25-yard line JC Wilson and Ed will emmaus key make the tackle for Pitt one of the reasons that easily did not gain more on that might have been a missed assignment comfort sometimes these wide receivers are a little reluctant to really stick their noses in there to get a good piece of the man's chest I don't know maybe he's saving himself for the Bob later I think ed will a mouse key had him I'll wait a little bit second down at five Kendra dropped for a loss the ball is loose inside the 20-yard line I believe West Virginia has recovered however al Romano number 91 there Outland Trophy candidate an all-american those guard came in to make the hit on Kendra hit him from the blind side and the ball popped out West Virginia maintains possession however and we may have a penalty I think we do a defensive holding penalty the second one of the afternoon against the Pitt Panthers holding on the defense is to call the upper you don't see very often we've seen it twice already here in the first half there you see JC Wilson and Steve was about it I think that's self-explanatory I don't think I have to even comment on that picture well I think the penalty might have been justified it gives the West Virginia Mountaineers the first down at their own 32 yard line and that's a break because it would have been the third and very long yardage back inside their own 20 first and ten for the Mountaineers at their own 32 Kendra trying to get some offense consistency going here Cedric Thomas in motion on this printout can't find anybody open at the 35 and runs out of bounds wisely at about the 38 yard line Cecil Johnson the senior defensive end for Pitt was chasing him out discretion is the better part of what Sports quiz better part of intelligence really I think he'll last a long time if he keeps doing that sort of thing along with the old Fran Tarkenton slide you know see those linebackers coming he's just a little slide duck under the clothes line he did a good job he picked up about six yards it is second down and four from the 38 the pitch so would butch crosses the 40-yard line good power running is he broke attack oh he was hit by Edwin about speed number 80 and then drove forward for some extra yardage and got up around the 43 yard line of West Virginia it's enough for a Mountaineer first down Dwayne would for 44 Troy was just to amplify on him he was the second leading ball carrier on the team last year with over 400 yards they look for him to be the leading ball carrier this year he really hasn't had the kind of year that they expected last Wednesday I was down at West Virginia I saw him in the weight room and he although he's pretty small is an extremely muscular and strong fellow first in 10 West Virginia from their own 44 Kendra on the quarterback draw he's trapped behind the line of scrimmage and dropped for a loss in there very quickly randy holloway number 17 the defensive tackle who relies very very heavily on his quickness al Romano number 91 has gone out of the game with an injury al Romano gets for the ink but watch this big Randy Holloway okay we talked to him yesterday he's got 61 tackles each one is over four under ray hyman really along with Cecil Johnson it's a loss of five on the play at second down and 15 from the West Virginia 39 yard line Rodriguez in motion the draw play easily maybe got back to the line of scrimmage Jim Cramer the linebacker number 58 played it very well and made the first contact here's what the 50 fence is done covered that is something as a West Virginia wanted to do is to come out to be able to establish the running game but they are just running into a big physical defensive wall by v Boston perhaps a happy yard on the play it's still third down and 15 and Kendra wants to put it up pressure from Romano and he's cut from behind back around the 30-yard line al Romano with his second sack of the game on West Virginia quarterback Dan Kendra al Romano the senior Outland Trophy candidate winter 6-3 230 pounds what's really remarkable about that is the fact that he runs the 40-yard dash in 4.8 Footy back to fund for West Virginia Jade our brother Willie Taylor the deep receiver back around his own 35-yard line forfeit high kick hanging up nicely Willie Taylor at the 31 with a fair catch the Pitt Panthers roll back on offense at their own 31 yard line 9 minutes and 8 seconds left to play in the first half we'll be back in just a minute there's Dorset's career stats right up-to-date rubber 5700 22 yards as of right this minute along with 52 touchdown Tony says he'd like to push it up to about 6,000 yards so that nobody would ever break the record in his lifetime but West Virginia is doing everything they can to prevent him from doing that and they've done a pretty good job of bottling him up here's Matt Cavanaugh remember earlier when he went down out of bounds we told you he looked like he was shaking his right wrist we have a report now that he has a contusion or a bruise on his right elbow it is not considered to be serious enough to keep him out of the game however he will continue to play and you might be able to see their cupboard it looks swollen you can actually see the swelling I'd say during between plays you better get some ice on that that is obviously swollen we'll have to wait see how if at all it affects his passing and they do rely on Cavanaugh's arm from time to time we have 9 minutes 8 seconds left to go in the first half Tony Dorsett has scored two touchdowns bill McKenzie has kicked a field goal for West Virginia and the 5th Panthers lead 14 to 3 so far I think jumpers a bit defense has been more dominating than their offense even though they've scored 14 points that's something we talked about earlier and I think we ought to continue to talk about it throughout the game is because of the source of publicity that the defense has really been kind of overlooked at time coming up remember following this game as a part of our doubleheader the national telecast of a very important Southwest Conference game from Little Rock Arkansas the Arkansas Razorbacks in the Texas A&M Aggies that's at 4:00 following this game here on ABC 1st down and 10 Panthers operating from their own 30 Dorsett to the outside tries to cut inside gets back across the 35 47 Paul Jordan and 86 buzzy Thornton the defensive end to the Mountaineers make the play on Dorsett as he picks up about 7 yards out to the 38 yard line here's a better look at one of Tony Dorsett favorite plays its the power pitch with him and the tailback position out of the I formation you get a sense once again of that incredible cutting ability the way you can plant that right foot and just change directions while gliding along at nearly top speed second down and three Cavanaugh on the option good defense by West Virginia they took away the pitchman Hutton and they made the tackle on Cavanaugh with Culbertson number 50 and 51 France Leeson the defensive end on the right side making the play why speaking of that AMF Arkansas game what a matchup for those two running backs we got Ben Cowan is the leading rusher in the Southwest Conference going up against big old George footer of the Texas Tech every Ballards been waiting a few days for that rematch you know Cavanaugh may have lost just a little bit it is still third down and three however it operating from their own 37 yard line out of the I formation Cavanaugh fakes the Dorsett Cavanaugh wants to throw now he's gonna rhyme at the 45 to 50 into West Virginia territory is the 35 yard line [Applause] Cavanaugh scrambling for big yardage Johnny shell number 13 finally brings him down into West Virginia secondary that's one of the nice advantages of having a Russian running quarterback when you've got a deep zone defense because once he gets past seeds man up front look at there's a fine move right there he's got a lot of space down and look at the downfield blocking once again Dorsett could have gotten over there to get Johnny shell Cavanaugh might have gone all the way Johnny shell saves the day for West Virginia and it gives the Pitt Panthers of 1st and 10 at the West Virginia 33 yard line Cavanaugh has really up somebody's down West Virginia player down switch like the far sideline just out of bounds at about the 35 yard line we can't see who it is however I think it by the best man who got blocked by the wide receiver I think Gordon Jones really got a lick on somebody down there the NJCAA begun in 1937 with 13 junior colleges in one sport reached the bicentennial year of 1976 now with 585 member colleges and 19 sports 19 men's national championships and 11 women's national championship the NGC aaaa while the West Virginia players being attended to over my new with seven and a half minutes to go here in the first half Backyard Brawl hasn't set out in front forty two three on 220 doors has touched out West Virginia's score came on a bill Mackenzie field goal following hits fumble of a punt Paul Jordans a defensive back number forty seventh is the injured player he was downfield trying to make the tackle on that Cavanaugh when he got a real surprise shot I think from I believe it was Jones - nailed it from his wide receiver spot Jordan is an important player their free safety a senior at 16 and 185 pounds and we certainly hope he's alright on first and ten for the Panthers from the mouth there 33 yard line Cavanaugh to the i-formation to pitch back to Dorsett Georgia trying to get around the outside and there's a lot of white-shirted Mountaineers there Tony will lose about a yard 22 Tom Frei for the strong safety is the first player to get to him we want to remind you that coming up at half-time today we will have a fireman's fund flashback it will feature a look at last week's two big upsets in NCAA football Purdue's win over Michigan and the Georgia Tech Notre Dame upset that's the fireman's fund flashback today at halftime here on college football on ABC loss of one second down and 11 now from the 34 yard line of West Virginia option pass Cavanaugh looking over the middle overthrown intended in the end zone for Jordan Jones number 24 or Willie Taylor 29 as they were converging Tom Pridemore number 22 and 43 Greg Anderson we're back to finding that's cold everybody go deep I'll find you that's one of those old cow pasture plays this is a series that pit put in as a matter of fact during the Duke game to take a little pressure off of their option game they start out looking like the option and then Cavanaugh drops back and throws the pass Cavanaugh that day through five touchdown passes to tire record and most of it was because of plays like that this time it didn't work however it is third and 11 from the 34 yard line of West Virginia Gavin on the straight drop back pressure at his job titles of football West Virginia may have recovered to see Chuck Smith number 78 one of the top defensive players for West Virginia with the pressure on Cavanaugh it has it nonetheless it'll be fourth down in a mile and a half to go as its back at about the 45 yard line of West Virginia near the 44 and lares wider is on to punt Chuck Smith's known as Snuffy stumpy Smith right out of the bounds of West Virginia Tom pride floor back deep to receive lets it go bounces into the end zone as it landed on the five or six yard line and so West Virginia will be back to take on offense at the 20 yard line we'll be back in just a minute if you think this game is good which you see was coming up next on ABC with Arkansas it takes a say in it Thank You hawk the hawk wants to be a TV announcer by the way what's this Tony George Dorsett he's a French phone that should be a great game no four o'clock following regional telecasts such as this one a national game between Texas A&M and Arkansas a most important Southwest Conference game here we have six oh eight to go in the first half West Virginia first and 10 from their own 20 easily the ball carrier fighting for yardage 70 Randy Holloway making the tackle for Pitt Paul lovely now in the game in place of easily we did not expect to see lovely he was on crutches as late as Wednesday this week he game two however it'll be second down and eight lovelies their leading ball carrier company it's kind of a surprise we knew that he was dressed up but we weren't sure that he would play today should it be alright that could help a lot second down and eight from the 22 yard line Rodriguez emotion to the capture screen Kendra Washington throw lieutenant for Lewis it's overthrown Lewis took a shot from Bob curry for 31 the fastball is incomplete however it'll be third down and eight from the 22 this program is being brought to you as a special exclusive of ABC Sports now let's pause five seconds to allow our local stations to identify themselves this is wtae-tv channel for Pittsburgh West Virginia out on offense with third down and eight operating from their own 22 yard line Kendra fakes dropping straight back has plenty of time the pass intended over here in the near side for number 83 the tight end Benny McDade Bob curry number 31 depending on the play for Pitt and so the West Virginia Mountaineers will again have to punt it away that's one of the planes that's been very effective for the Mountaineers this year and you and I were looking at films yesterday the the Pittsburgh coaching staff commented on that it was something that they were concerned about they've had very good luck with crossing pattern off of out of play pass action Jeff Betty will kick it away from about his own 10-yard line Willie Taylor back deeper fit is gone Betty with a nice move finally gets it away and they're gonna let it bounce down around the 40-yard line the 35 yard line of fifth and it's going to be down inside the 35 at about the 33 yard line 5:15 left to play in the first half Pitt leading West Virginia 14 to 3 Dorsett just had to put on a New Jersey cover he's he goes through more jerseys probably than any other player in college football he tears away and he has a few jerseys torn away two Tony Dorsett our new Provo reader Tony seriously wants to be a television sports get but I think he may spend a few years of pro football before he gets to that career it is first attempt for the Pitt Panthers they are on offense operating from their own 34 yard line Cavanaugh to throw coming out of Corbett the tight end run on the pounds at about the 43 yard line by throw on left cornerback Terrell woods of West Virginia Jim Corbett the leading receiver for the fifth Panthers give them not quite enough garbage for the first down this day market at the 43 yard line Italy second down to Bob one speaking of crossing patterns we said that West Virginia's had good luck with him Jim Corbett has been very successful the coming underneath on the crossing pattern came into today's game with 26 catches he's had a tube or so far carpet from URI Pennsylvania second down and one for the Panthers from their own 43 Dorsett first down out near the 50 yard line stopped at about the 49 yard line Harold Floyd's number one up from the secondary along with right side linebacker number 55 Jeff Massarelli a 6-foot 210 pound sophomore another one of the favorite plays out of the I formation for the tailback is a sprint draw let's watch Tony Dorsett as he kind of takes a little jab step to his right the Cavanaugh start sprinting to his right then he just flips the ball to Dorsett the sprint draw the isolation play and the power sweep are the three favorites first and tenth Panthers from their own 49 and Cavanaugh goes nowhere good defensive reaction by West Virginia Frank Gleason the defensive end with a fine play he's being congratulated by his teammates number 51 along with Joe gellick number 6 see five who slid over to help out a loss of well I right at the line of scrimmage maybe he lost a few inches it's second down and 10 still at the 49 yard line of the Pitt Panthers four minutes and 17 seconds left to go in the first quarter fit leading 14 to 3 George Jones but to the right Willie Taylor to the left Cavanaugh drops straight back Cavanaugh drops the football it's a loose West Virginia has recovered the Mountaineers get another break 78 Chuck Smith in there to recover that football as a ball just dropped out of Cavanaugh his hand as he was trying to avoid the rush in the Mountaineers are happy that's one of the things you talked about earlier is that West Virginia was hoping to get some turnovers it was a turnover that set up their first three-pointer now they find themselves as the clock starts ticking down to those final minutes of the first half but once again excellent field position first and ten from the pittsburgh 43 Dan Kendra fakes the draught alumni looking to pass pressure gone he gets away from Romano incomplete antennae for money intercepted by JC Wolfson number 21 the ball hit lovely in the hand see Wilson came up to pick it off at the London back-to-back turnovers and the Panthers will go back on offense these are the kind of plays you look back on as the game boat moves on and you think well this was really perhaps in the turning point of the game West Virginia with excellent field position here they have a man wide open it's lovely the leading fall carrier and for obvious reasons not the leading receiver who was I think was the late Paul crisp but just as they hit him in a bad place right the hand as hope it gets a break it takes away a possible West Virginia's scoring opportunity first intent Panthers from their own 31 Jones container are both Smith to the right side screen to the flanker to Jones films trying to find some Running Room just four or five yards he can't get away from Tom fly for however the strong safety number 22 one of West Virginia's top defensive people makes a great play to keep that from being a big game out near the 35 yard line gain of about four on the play it'll be second down and six Gordon Jones I talked about him earlier I'm going to amplify a little bit for he's just an incredible a physical specimen an all-around athlete who has a vertical jump of 38 inches he has a standing broad jump of over 11 feet he's a game breaks the tie tremendous in the open field i formation fits back to Dorsett running as he crosses a 40-yard line of fine defensive efforts by 65 Joe gellick the middle guard or Thorson might have gone at least another 10 or 15 yards Joe jelling the middle guard has been the busiest guy along the front wall 89 tackles here he is boy out there that's a good effort and it's not very often that you see TD go down just by one hand nobody was more surprised than Tony Dorsett he was starting to motor he had really turned it on when he got to the corner of jelly cat and got him a lot of daylight he did get enough for the first down however as you see if he crossed the 40-yard line the ball is at the Pittsburgh 41 and the Panthers will have a first intent from that point three minutes now remaining in the first half Pitt still eating West Virginia 14 to 3 and the Mountaineers have played a lot of defenses but they've been scrappy again Joseph Taylor are both flipped to the right side pitch back to Dorset out of the I formation running to the right to this side of 50 45 yard line play in Baghdad in West Virginia territory by number 50 Ken Cole vs. the left side linebacker it's enough for another pitch first down however this taursus takes it in to Mountaineer territory and the hawk keeps flying the law that gives if over 1,600 yards as we look at him again on one of his favorite place you know this is the 16th Jerry gives him 85 yards for today and once again you get a sense of the way he could change direction the stopping and starting ability he's just one of the most exceptional runners I've ever seen if not the best and one key to that was the Gordon Jones the wide receiver was blocking his man 15 yards downfield the Panthers as we said have some of the greatest downfield blocking they want to get that yardage for the hawk I think the Panthers may have taken too much time and whistles flow they have it yes it is a delay of game call against the fifth Panthers and that will cost them five yards it'll make it first down and 15 two minutes and 13 seconds now left in the first half 14 to 3 fit over West Virginia and the copper will leave us now as leaked gross Cup makes his way down to the field for some halftime interviews be talking to both coaches and we'll have a special ceremony for you at halftime coming up involving the hawk Tony Dorsett first down at 15 now the ball back at the 48 yard line of West Virginia option left Cavanaugh keeping now pitches to Dorsett cutting inside of the 40 yard line Dorsett picking up eight or nine yards 43 Craig Anderson the free safety a senior at 190 makes the hit on Dorsett in the West Virginia secondary tony dorsett going for that magic 6,000 yard mark something that he'll have to really do or I have to really hustle to accomplish in something that could make the record untouchable here it is again Dorsett waiting in Cavanaugh doing a nice job waiting till the last moment and Dorsett getting everything he can out of it as West Virginia played it very well second down and eight Cavanaugh rolling out past a - Hutton with a great defensive play hit by Harold woods immediately at the 45 yard line and knocked back Hutton getting up kind of slowly as woods put a great hit on him and now Pitt is called timeout with one minute and 12 seconds left to play in the first half there you see Bobby Hutton very steady very versatile performer for the Pitt Panthers fills in for Dorsett sometimes a tailback he's filling in today for Elliott Walker who's injured at fullback just a reminder to join host bill Fleming for college football 76 tomorrow and every Sunday afternoon throughout the season as highlights of today's key NCAA football games around the country are analyzed Panthers ready to go back on offense now it'll be third down and four yards to go the ball just inside the West Virginia 37 yard line Taylor and Jones flit to the left Jones in the slot Taylor the wide receiver high formation in the backfield pitched the Dorsett running level great defensive play breaking through number 43 Greg Anderson dropped Dorsett for a loss and that's the way you've got to play the option play the PowerSuite student body left Anderson number 43 s you look at him they're the free safety senior at six feet in 190 here it is again everybody to the right looks like the old USC OJ Simpson student body left and Anderson goes right through the block of Bobby Hutton to make the tackle a great defensive play the loss is back to the 41 yard line of West Virginia and it is now fourth down and eight Cavanaugh has found out what he wants to know we have 47 seconds left to go in the first half Pitt leading 14 to 3 it is fourth down and eight the ball at the West Virginia 41 yard line Taylor to the right Jones to the left split backs in the backfield fake the draw Cavanaugh looking for a receiver getting away from the pressure now throws complete to score but he's hit the ball is at about the 40 yard line it appears as if West Virginia has recovered they have number one Harold woods made the hit on tight end Jim Corbett who had made the reception and Corbett is down on the ground as you see there fit trainer Tim Caron assisting him he really took a hit from Harold woods woods the cornerback is only 510 and 185 but boy he has really put some hit on to pit receivers today Cavanaugh here you see it again getting away from the pressure flipping the ball at Corbett who is covered by Anderson and here comes number one woods boom and the ball pops out I think woods helmet hit it but that's the least of Jim Corbett's worries right now Corbett there you see him still down and motionless and being attended to we now have 36 seconds left to go in the half nearly a full minute West Virginia took over on the fumble recovery and they have a first intent at the Pitt 40-yard line or rather their own 40 the lane woods gets back to about the line of scrimmage Randy Holloway with the pressure and will go back now to Chris Schenkel in South Bend there you see Corbett walking off the field of halftime at the clock now running down with 20 seconds left to play in the half we'll try and find out for you the nature of Corbett's injury and as we mentioned he could be a very key laws to the Pitt Panthers being their leading receiver Mountaineers were living a clock run down now is we have seven six - the crowd starts to countdown now a timeout is called by West Virginia with just 5 seconds to go they were going to run a play I can't understand why they would call timeout letting the timer run down that low this should be the last play of the first half Kendra dropping back clock continues to run with five seconds two passes overthrown six off by tip the ball falls incomplete as to fit 25-yard line as the flash runs out and so both teams leave the field at the end of the first half to the samosa with roar of an overflow crowd here in Fitch Stadium into the first half of the fifth Panthers leading the West Virginia Mountaineers 14 to 3 in a and after Roger to stall me day in Georgia the total that afternoon was a modest 101 yards but a new era in Pitt football was born two weeks later all of college football was asking about a young 160-pound Pitt freshman running back to shop the nation's fans by rushing for 265 yards who was this freshman phenom his name of course was Anthony through Dorsett today three years and some 5,000 yards later there isn't a football fan in America who doesn't know about Tony Dorsett he holds nine all-time NCAA records 27 all-time hit marks and repeat his statistical accomplishments would only serve as an injustice to his larger meaning to college football and Pitt football in particular they began playing football at Pitt eighty-six years ago in 1890 and although Pitt has one of the most storied names in all of college football the university has never chosen to retire the number of one of its players but that ends today the number 33 will never again be worn in this Stadium by a pit [Applause] the shoes you wore in the Navy game you became the leading all-time NCAA runner will be permanently in the trophy case in the athletic department no fit player will ever again wear number 33 because they're never again will be another Tony Dorsett became a college football this ever seen and we thank you for letting us be a part of it thanks Huck thanks for the memories [Music] the pit band playing a Broadway medley give my regards to Broadway a very familiar tune American music has gone through a lot of crazes and a lot of fads and that's what the pit band is doing in there for Armand today with top hat white tie and Tails and a Broadway melody Yankee Doodle Dandy the fans all make one of the great George fqo had to [Music] hit water polo is number one I guess that's what h2o means they're on the pattern they've got all kinds of sports in colleges we're about ready to kick off for the second half West Virginia will be kicking off Jeff Fetty number 10 [Music] bill Mackenzie number 33 set to kickoff back deep to receive for the fifth Panthers on day nine Willie Taylor number 19 BA brutish and it's a short kickoff up around the 30-yard line now let's meet the Pitt Panthers as they introduced themselves to you you're on ABC Cavanaugh quarterback Youngstown Ohio Tony Dorsett money back from Alice Cooper Pennsylvania Bob Marlin New Jersey running back Willie Taylor Y receiver running EJ good Jones why we see was no facility a Jim Corbett tight in Erie Pennsylvania Corbett is all right he just had the wind knocked out of him he's back in the football game first and ten Cavanaugh a keeper Cavanaugh crosses the 45 crosses the 50 yard line gets into West Virginia territory he turned that one up very quickly as he just half fake to fish domos and moved it right up the field I say a Matt Cavanaugh is having a terrific day as we look at him once again on what's been his biggest play the option play he he fakes the pitch actually it looked like was gonna be part three in the triple option he faked the pitch and he turned up field he had a terrific first half nine carries 65 yards at the rustic department and he was 711 in the passing department for 41 yards the ball is just across the 50 yard line in West Virginia territory it's another first down for the Panthers and again it's Cavanaugh in the option Cavanaugh down to the 40 yard line pushed out of bounds across the 40 by number 47 Paul Jordan a free safety who was also injured in the first half and he's okay back in Cavanaugh keeps doing it they're trying to take Dorsett and the pitch away from the Panthers and Cavanaugh is taking advantage of it by running the football himself there he is the junior from Youngstown Ohio who has made a big difference to the fifth of all portions after the interview number one quarterback Robert hatred Robert Haga of course in Kavanagh split duty and in the Georgia Tech game this year Hagen was injured had a knee operation that was out for the season it's been on Cavanaugh's shoulders but he too was injured for a part of the year and he's done magnificently Dorset up the middle for short guard aged 78 Chuck Smith on the tackle for West Virginia the ball short of the 35 yard line at the 36 a gain of two or three yards on the play we'll call it second down in seventh which kind of points out that depth has been a very important thing for Pittsburgh and I think there's one factor in this game today I'd have to say this Pittsburgh's just a lot deeper than West Virginia deficits got a question parked right along Cavanaugh brings him out second down and eight to the 36 yard line of West Virginia the Panthers on offense just underway here in the second half 14 to 3 Pittsburgh Cavanaugh get options up crosses the 30 to about the 28 yard line the tackle made by number 65 Joe gellick and the left linebacker number 50 Ken Culbertson the senior 210 founder for the Mountaineers here it is again covered oh I'll say fun this option play the day I used to run that up in myself at the University of Utah you know there is no option what I did is that I eliminated part two I just went for part 1 part 3 there you go you get the picture the only time you ran was out of balance out of sheer fright error just short of the first down yardage they indicate just inches short the ball inside the 30-yard line near the 27 yard line or a 20-gauge yard line it is of the West Virginia Mountaineers 13 minutes 26 seconds remaining in the third quarter you know Mike Jones comes out excuse me and Randy rudesheim comes into the wide back in those days the quarterback had to play safety on defense and Jack Curtis used to tell me say cupper you line a 15 yards deep and retreat at the snap of the ball it is third down and just inches to go for a panther touchdown Cavanaugh trying to sneak it over the middle guard each for Dorset and they've gotten a lot of it for Cavanaugh this afternoon first and 10 they mark it at the 27 yard line of West Virginia the Pitt Panthers on the move with their opening possession here in the second half I formation in the backfield counter option Cavanaugh Dorsett course it at the 20 yard line towards the down inside the 20 near the 15 bumps out of bounds by Johnny shell number 13 the senior right side quarterback at 511 180 pounds he endorses or about to match physically I'll tell ya when he accelerates you really get a sense of that 43.5 speed at time when he caught that ball he just gave it a little burst Tony Dorsett has now gone over the 100 yard park this afternoon he has about 102 yards I believe so far today and it is another Panther first down the ball is fun at the 17 yard line of West Virginia will they Taylor and Gordon showing folks some lift to the mic i formation hustled and tore sit in the tailback make 200 Cavanaugh Cavanaugh strap gonna be thrown for a loss number 50 Ken Carson making special along with 47 polish worth also over there 65 Joe chilly look hard good defense by West Virginia on that flake 18 straight 100-yard game for Tony Dorsett 20 carries 102 yards two touchdowns it's just you know it's just another typical Tony Dorsett show it would be a great day for any backup we had a minute left to go in the game but we're just under way here in the third quarter and Dorsett is fast the one again Taylor and Jones comes foot wide to the right split backs to the backfield with whoreson on the wing to the right it is second down and 11 yards to go from the 18 yard line Cavanaugh rolling out away from the pressure stops throwing into the end zone it's under thrown it bounces up and hits Willie thinner and Cavanaugh was leveled right after he threw the ball Cavanaugh is still town and so is the West Virginia defensive player who made the hit Brian pick up his number I believe it's seven eight Chuck Smith Snuppy Smith of West Virginia their top defender is down as you can see and he appears to be in a great deal of pain they either he's od'd on stuff Cavanaugh has got some very sharp elbows you see what happened here Cavanaugh is winding it up and there's been a safety blitz on I can't figure out why this is the one that winds up holding himself looked as if Cavanaugh took the shot and apparently Smith must have landed wrong and they're working on as you can see his right knee I always tell you this quarterbacks a tough guy you know we got calcified rib there you see Chuck Smith being helped off the field number 78 for West Virginia their key defensive player and we certainly hope that he is alright this reminder to stay tuned at the conclusion of today's game for the Chevrolet offensive and defensive players of the game we'll be announcing them and the cover will be hoping in the food as you might expect obviously Tony Dorsett Matt Cavanaugh defense really kind of wide open there have been some outstanding defensive plays and pretty steady defense on the part of both teams one thing the West Virginia is done I think cover they've taken a big play away from Pittsburgh fitness had to march on drives and chip away at eight and ten yard shots in order to get there two touchdowns so far a good point they're threatening now at third down and 11 at the 18 yard line of West Virginia but back to the backfield Cavanaugh fakes looking to throw over the middle complete to Tim Tim Corbet number 81 Corbett down near the 10-yard line run out of bounds just inside the 10 by number 13 Johnny shell who's been making a number of tackles in that's West Virginia at the amplify what you just said Tony Dorsett is gained over 100 yards but his longest has been 17 yards at Kavanagh his longest is 29 yards in it they haven't allowed the bomb so that's that's an important point I'm a physician however has not been in West Virginia's favor and now we're going to have a field goal attempt as we were short Carson long is on and he'll be fourth down in about three yards to go Larry sweater is on to hold and Carson long now will attempt to stretch his all-time kick scoring record in NCAA history this attempt will be from the the 17 yard line a 27-yard field goal attempt straight up the middle and fifth goes out of trucks 17 to 3 on the 27 yard earth by carson long far that man is definite down crisis line to make this job and as we talked about the get started the kicking game it has an excellent icky game with thunder Larry Schneider and placekicker Carson ball ball and really made their seasons here looking for an upset of course you can't hear the name but they are trailing 17 to three they're getting ready to go back on offense now as Carson long is set to kickoff teeing it up on the near hash mark back deep to receive for West Virginia 40 lead owl is the deep receiver along with Dwayne woods and Dave Riley number 32 Long's kickoff is short taken by the up back woods out around the 12 yard line he gets off about the 25 yard line and the Mountaineers will go on offense there let's meet West Virginia up close and personal then Kendra quarterback Allentown Pennsylvania Dwayne woods running back Bluefield West Virginia Walter he's running back to Charleston West Virginia Cedric Thomas where I receive Alacoque Pennsylvania Steve Lewis hurry for West Virginia that quarter season there you have the Mountaineers and they're playing the number one ranked Pitt Panthers first and 10 from their own 20 one-yard line Kendra the woods woods gets tripped up as he crosses the 25 yard line by Barney Witherington I don't have a 29 yard line short yardage on the play a gain of three it'll be second down and seven kind of nice meeting the guys up close to personal life and I enjoy beating fans Kent you know he's a free spirit and type of guy drives a Jeep married has a son compete let me pay more about the management plan on second down and seven free spirited Kendra easily easily crosses the 30 yard line to about the 32 Edie willow mouse-kini the left side defensive end that often made the play for the fenders anyway Stan Kendra Rd is very has a son at his fun for sure the guy is going to be a lineman because of the fact that he's already got a perfect for point stance and you know they need some lineman at West Virginia you got a walk you got to crawl before you can run again it is third down and four now West Virginia moving from their own 32 Kendra spread out and Jennifer was almost picked off by a fellow to number 37 the ball was just a little bit out in front of Dwayne woods and leave her life elder who made a key interception as a Notre Dame game review this year returning him for a touchdown against the Irish nearly had another one error because he had a clear field for about 35 yards if he could have picked that one off oh I say it Dan Kendra do not throw the swing pass into coverage like that he's not gonna be too happy when he sings that on film on Tuesday and so Betty is on to punt standing at about his own 20-yard line Willie Taylor back deep to receive or the fit Panthers nice pun Taylor backs up and fair catches it at the 30 yard line to Pitt Panthers will go back on offense first and 10 from their own 30 with 1026 left to go in the third quarter Pitt ladies 17 to 3 in a third quarter with the Cathedral of Learning just outside the fifth stadium walls and the sun shining brightly on the playing field the Pitt Panthers are back on offense first and 10 from their own 30 yard line i formation with Dorsett is the tailback behind Hutton Dorsett straight up the middle about a yard is all and she gets to the 31 line the play made by Chuck Smith 78 who's back in there in 55 Jeff Master Valley Drive side linebacker the educational system in this country is the dominant factor in providing motivation training coaching and facilities for sports and recreational pursuits over 2 billion dollars is spent on facilities and annual operating funds and that's one reason why the best athletic programs in the world come from NCAA members following the gain of one second down and nine perhaps a long eight for Dorsett Dorsett on a pitch out of the I formation coming to the right side across the 35 yard line for the 37 again it was Chuck Smith 78 who slid off and made the tackle short of first down yardage they mark it out near the 38 yard line the Panthers need to get to the 40 for a first down it'll be third down and two there's tearaway jersey number two number three number three ready for Tony they spent about $500 a year on third on Georgia jerseys alone but I'll tell you it's not much worth it certainly breaks a lot of time which they it probably is 32 out of the I formation from their own 30 game yard line counter options Cavanaugh keeping at the 40 got the first down to the 50 into West Virginia territory twenty-five inside the 20-yard line is finally run out of bounds by surskit honey show and 22 top five for the Monster Mash that Cavanaugh is been running that counter option with tremendous exist this afternoon and we may have a penalty marker down on the field Oh Calvin I stepped out of bounds that's what it is they say the Cavanaugh stepped out of bounds at the West Virginia 40-yard line and they're bringing it back 20 yards back upfield here it is again cover let's look and see if somewhere along the line we can see his right foot hit some chalk that Cavanaugh is really doing a job today of running the option play and the counter object Lee there it is right in there did you see it right foot hit the chalk sit there it is if you hit any part of the white you're out of bounds 122 yards now on 13 carries for Cavanaugh he's having an exceptional day first and 10 Panthers from the West Virginia 40 split backs to the backfield to fake the doors to Kevin I looking to throw along Gordon Jones is out there to it at the goal line Gerald woods number one to left corner back back defending him is playing him all the way in Gordon Jones nearly shows some of that acrobatic athletic skill covered exactly Gordon jump number 24 one of the more exciting players in the East last year one of the top return men in the country has been plagued by little inconsistency with with fumbling and has dropped some of the easier ones but I'd say he's really an athlete really in Agra fusee the jumping ability right there Harold Woods made a great play knocking the ball away just to Joan's hand saving the touchdown it is now second down and 10 again from the West Virginia 14i formation in the backfield Jones puts the right footing cater to the left Cavanaugh trying to option looking to throw in trouble caught from behind the ball is loose it appears as if West Virginia just recovered the Mountaineers have the football hand coverage to number 50 over there to make the play for the Mountaineers Cavanaugh has appeared to be a little indecisive on what he wanted to do whether he wanted to pass run or pitch the ball to Dorset and he finally dropped the ball on the ground that's the second time that matt has let the ball ball without being hit that's called having too many options they call the triple option that time with quadruple options and the one they didn't want to option was the fumble there you see the situation with a 48 we're in the third quarter West Virginia now with another break there on offense at their own 43 Kendra Kendra running to counter option he's caught drop right near the line of scrimmage Jimbo Cramer number 58 senior at six - and 220 the right side linebacker making a play for Pitt you ran that option play about ten million times because you were you're part one you were the full-back in the Houston sphere I want to just say where I'm going to come back to that but I want to say a word about Johnny major something you don't want to come back to Johnny majors quite a tailback at Tennessee 1956 second and Highsmith the voting's of Paul Hornung that year triple threat er Kendra on second and 10 almost complete it goes off the hands with the tight end Ben McDade number 83 Jeff Zeleny you might have had a chance for an interception but couldn't come up with it he goes as an incompletion and it'll be third down and 10 the ball still at the West Virginia 43 yard line John Major's led his team to attend a no record and the Sugar Bowl that year he was a triple threat tailback at Tennessee I enjoyed watching him on those old Hill Ross slow motion play number those are you too young for this I I'd like to be nature's is still have been about as good a shape as you already played I think Kendra inside to Steve Lewis on the slant end pattern process of 50 in the pit territory close to first down yardage they may be waiting for a measurement it's at a pop yes it is senior first down the ball at the 47 yard line of the Panthers and a big big third down play Dan Kendra to Steve Lewis they're facing passing combination and it worked for him that time you know this is a very very important drive right now for West Virginia they're trailing at the ballgame seventeen to three and they were about halfway through the third quarter as we look at Steve Lewis far and away the leading receiver that was a big third down play for Dan Kendra Rodriguez split to the right Lewis to the left and Kendra on first and ten from the pit 47 Lane woods the ball carrier he's hit immediately number 60 Cecil Johnson the defensive end and Arnie weathering for the linebacker on that side met woods right as he got to the line of scrimmage he perhaps gained a yard on his forward progress down here the 46 yard line that's where they market it'll be second down and nine for the Mountaineers arty Wetherington with 93 tackles John Major's has said the pound-for-pound this guy maybe about his good until I'm back sure he's ever seen they got another great one too James Cramer who today is the leading tackler second down and nine Kendra looking to throw welding away from the pressure intended over the middle where number 33 Steve Louis to pass a little bit too high Wetherington along with 31 Bob jury back defending for Pitt you're watching NCAA football here on ABC and as far as five seconds our local stations to identify themselves this is wtae-tv channel for Pittsburgh there you see the situation in the third quarter 705 left to play 17 2 3 the Pitt Panthers leading West Virginia's on offense and they will have a third down at 9 from the pit 46 yard line and they've called a timeout covers what they want to do third down a 9 Rodriguez in motion for the West Virginia Mountaineers Kendra looking to throw good time over the middle complete right at the 30 yard line Steve Lewis number 33 makes the reception he's tackled immediately but he's got enough yardage much more than enough for a Mountaineer first down Jim Cramer number 58 back to make the stop for Pitt I think Kendra hurt me he did exactly what you told him to do well when you got a receiver like Steve Lewis that's a good thing to do it and his favorite route has been the curl that you just saw him around he also runs the outs very effective the intermediate patterns are his forte West Virginia threatening first and ten from the 29 yard line good hard running by Dwayne woods moving around the left side 31 Bob Curie and fifty-eight Jimbo Cramer makes a tackle easily Walter easily number 46 the big freshman at 62 and 210 pounds filling in for Paul lovely West Virginia's leading ball carrier but we've only seen cover on one series of downs today because of the injuries he suffered last week and tonight they may be missing him today they have not had a consistent thank you but I'll say a Walter he was very impressive for a freshman it is second down at five Kendra up the middle easily again down to the 20-yard line short yardage is easily was tripped up right in the middle by al Romano number 91 the Outland Trophy Kennedy middle guard for the Panthers you see easily going back to the huddle and here's a little look at our motto number 91 I say it's not hard to see why this guy's considered one of the outstanding players in the country he takes the block on very well stands up the center and then he gets another fact even though he didn't actually make the tackle he didn't give any ground and that's what enable him to stop the play big play again for the Mountaineers serve down and wander at the 15-yard line easily over the right side and that appears that he had enough for the first time yardage Don Parrish number 68 made the tackle and it is a mountaineer first down at West Virginia's putting together their first consistent drive of the football game and threatening to score with five and a half minutes left to go in the third quarter mascot he looks like he came out of the hill and he's going to be excited if they can navigate the final 17 yards first and ten Kendra on the option play Kendra keeping at the 10 yard line inside the 10 and down to the 6 for 7 Danni Kendra taking a lesson from what Matt Cavanaugh has done for the Panthers Edwin a mouse key makes the tackle for Pitt as they mark it at the 6 yard line it's another first down for the Mountaineers 1st in gold at the pitch 6 let's not forget we had one of the great up since the entire history of the series last year 1714 the final second Mackenzie's field goal where you see Frank's Big Daddy on the sidelines of West Virginia coaches missus first year as head coach needs like nothing more over the middle in the endzone touchdown oh he drops the ball then he makes a number 83 had the ball in his hands Bob curry defending on the play the ball was tipped by a defender and I think it changed the course of the ball enough to where McDade couldn't come up with it West Virginia nearly had a touchdown and remember in college football there are no rules against tipping you know you can have two three people tip that's all two consecutive up as the receivers can't have it actually this was the line factor that the ball is Jim Cramer making the play for Pitt as you see there the Panthers now have what they call their snake defense in Jeff Delaney comes out and Jose stone an extra defensive lineman comes in for the pass rush it's a timeout on the field and we'll be back in just a moment Pittsburgh leading three we have four minutes 46 seconds left to go in the third quarter and West Virginia is threatening to make the game even closer I think it's a little closer comfort them a lot of people thought it would be but this is the backyard brawl and the point spread at the records what has happened before don't mean a whole lot second and goal from the 6 yard line and Kendra operating the West Virginia look at his roll [Applause] back around the 15-yard line a big big defensive play for the fifth Panthers [Applause] [Music] all right this is what's known as the top cat award when you get this when you start snacking the quarterback they have a special award called the top Stan awarded Holloway is the guy who's gotten that consistently 61 tackles prior to today's game for Randy Holloway that could be one of the most important man a very big player take some of the pressure off the defense now as the ball is back around the 14 yard line it is third down a goal for the 14 Kendra wants to throw Kendra looking into the endzone from Lewis [Music] hey is about their fans across crazy talk about a big play after the sack by Holloway it was third and goal from the 14 yard line and again stop her as they did earlier on the third down play Kendra went to his fret butter man Steve Lewis hurricane West Virginia down into the corner sometimes calls a sink out Mackenzie on to attempt the extra point it's good and so with four minutes and three seconds left in the third quarter the West Virginia Mountaineers make their first consistent offensive drive of the afternoon to pull within seven points of the Pitt Panthers I liked Kendra's play calling on that drive used a lot of imagination they mixed up is running in his passing he buried the protection buried the park drive by quarterback Dan Kendra Bill Mackenzie set to kickoff for the Mountaineers it's another squib kick they try to pick it up at the 30 yard line a couple of facts fumble the ball around and finally a bit players balls on it Thompson to wall number 46 fullback who's been injured his second kickoff recovery of the afternoon hope it goes on offense again with pretty good field position at the 31 yard line having a first 2/10 with 3 minutes and 58 seconds left to go in the third quarter it's 17 to 10 Pitt leading West Virginia and the stands are really starting to come alive and look who's in there at quarterback number 13 Tommy you sick in a quarterback maybe Cavanaugh's elbow is bothering and split backs in the backfield you think the Dorsett straight up the middle Dorsett for short yardage only a yard or two and the Mountaineers are really fired up now Ken Culbertson number 50 makes the tackle on Dorset and music's history when he has been it there is to go to the I formation and take advantage more of Tony Dorsett this time a cookie comes out with a beer let's try and get a word on just exactly why Cavanaugh is out of the football game Gordon Jones comes splits to the right Willie Taylor to the left again here's the guy formation in the backfield with Dorsett behind Hutton music on the sprint bra Dorsett up the middle across the 35 yard line again short yardage two or three more yards and again as Ken Culbertson number 50 number 51 Franz Lisa to make the tackle on TD and that fellow named momentum as we're at the white jerseys right now cousin third down and six yards to go the ball at the Pitt 36 yard line again it's Jones to the right in Taylor to the left foot backs in the backfield usek dropping straight back there's the Statue of Liberty play the dorset Gleason 78 the Statue of Liberty play that they used so well against Barbie last week doors have gained 10 yards twice on it this time West Virginia had a county before they were looking for it Brent Gleeson for 51 with great pressure and Snuffy Smith made the big play to drop Dorsett for a loss at the 25 yard line very spider on to punt for the Panthers back deep to receive for West Virginia 3043 Greg Anderson slider with a nice punt it's going to be down at the 26 yard line of West Virginia in the mouth here we go back on offense with 2 minutes and 19 seconds tough to play in the third quarter a 48 yard punt by Larry spider who's been up in the top five funny statistics of station all year long they needed that one right there it's at the 26 yard line and now the West Virginia Mountaineers will try to get their offense going again and this is what I like to refer to as a VIP you know what a PID is that's a very important drive and we got a big one coming up right now is Ranieri in at the third quarter kendra to Easley straight up the middle what's it is plain wood excuse me stop 558 Jimbo flamers he crosses the 30 yard line good garbage on the play of about six yards it'll be second down and four we talked about the top cat award they've also got the baths can't award you know what's the matter I believe that's for the hardest-hit you do your homework nice going second down and four from the 32 yard line for West Virginia Kendra on the counter option Kendra out near the 35 yard line Don Parrish 68 and 91 al Romano move over to make the tackle on Danny Kendra just across the 35 at the West Virginia 36 yard line and it is going to be pretty close to a first down for the Mountaineers they say it's not close enough for the measurement and we'll call it third down and one officially [Music] [Applause] another big play on thirds now I can run the option pitching back and appears it has enough yardage for the first town we'll see what they give him his forward progress yes there's some violent hitting going on on I feel today as you can tell by the number of players who've been knocked out just with the wind knocked out of him or have had their bell rung would you picks it up for them to even draw ha this is indicative of the type of physical game and his van as we see Leroy Felder number 37 come up from his quarterbacks it doesn't really stick at the wood the report on Cavan eyes that he has left the field he's in the locker room with that bruised elbow I first intent with her own 38 Kendra rolling to the right side passes complete out near the 50 yard line Jeff Delaney on defense and again it was Steve Lewis who made the reception number 33 he has come up with some key receptions for West Virginia this afternoon really threading the needle once again to his favorite receiver Steve Lewis update Cavanaugh he had five stitches in his right elbow he came back at halftime but now he's left the field again he has returned to the locker room Rodriguez in motion on first and ten from the 49 yard line Kendra wants to throw plenty of time dropped by Rodriguez juggled it around for a while and couldn't hang on to it before the blue shirts got there it's incomplete al just lien Arne Wetherington over defending on the play it'll be second down and 10 for West Virginia from their own 49 oh I like the way Dan Kendra is throwing the football right now as we see if Manuel Rodriguez is the man in motion coming from right to left he gets open just on a sit down pattern along the sideline again it him in a bad place used to call receivers like that ports just 22 seconds remaining in the third quarter on third down and 10 Duane wood straight up the middle for short yardage Edwin dumansky number 80 and Arne Wetherington 59 making the defensive play for Pitt as the clock now runs down with just about nine seconds left to go in the third quarter that probably is the last play of the quarter with West Virginia now moving into Pitt territory at the 48-yard line and there's the gun during the third quarter of play here at rich Stadium and the noise has not stopped since the beginning of the game covered NCAA football will continue here on ABC following this message reporter there you see the situation it is third down and eight for the West Virginia Mountaineers from the Pitt 48 yard line Kendra wants to throw again he has easily out here on the flat Easley he's run out of bounds on a fine defensive play right about at the line of scrimmage perhaps he gained two yards al Chesley number 55 a 6-3 210 pounds sophomore made the play the NCAA is an organization of over 800 members which enforces a broad code of regulations publishes playing rules and guidebooks and conduct championship competition in 18 different sports this year for example the NCAA will conduct 39 championships in those 18 sports four colleges of varying sizes on fourth down Willie Taylor does not call for the fair catch and he's dropped immediately inside the 15-yard line they'll mark it at the 13 yard line and the Pitt Panthers will go on offense deep in their own territory a fine punt by Jeff Fetty the junior is six-foot 180 pounder kicking the ball very well and putting the Panthers back on their own 13 yard line we're just underway in the fourth quarter with 1444 left to play in this game and we have the ball game tom music is still in a quarterback for the injured Matt Cavanaugh out of the I formation first and ten Panthers from their own 13 2 pitch back to Dorsett Norfolk cutting upfield gets up near the 20 yard line gain of 5 to about the 18 yard line 10 Culbertson number 50 and number 86 buzzy forces the defensive end make the tackle for West Virginia we got plenty Smith and fuzzy Thornton and the West Virginia team fuzzy and buzzy I'll tell you they are really getting their licks on Tony Jordan is right now the Mountaineers just are doing a lot of swarming on the gang tackling and accosted Tony Dorsett a lot of jerseys out Thursday long with a few bumps and bruises 8:05 at second down and five Pitt operating from her own 1809 to the fourth quarter again Dorset's coming to the left first across into 20 gets knotted on the 23 yard live close to the first down yardage number 13 Johnny Sheldon Warner back coming up to make the hit on the hawk Tony Dorsett who is earning his yardage today the hard way chunks of 6 8 5 10 yards at a time he hasn't really broken a long run yet you know just a update as we look at Jersey number three coming up we said in the pregame show that in some circles West Virginia was a four touchdown underdog today they come in here with a lack of depth heavy underdog but you know there's still a possibility of an upset a heavy possibility right there this time it's Dorsett to the right on first and ten from the 28 3 yard line for sit at the 30 yard line across the 32 about the 31 good defensive pursuit heroes woods number one along the number 78 chuck smith over there and there you see what's Orson has done in his career to the minute including that's carrying today at least carries a ball as you can see 1023 and you have to have that number times and practices and spring games and he's already had more career than a guy that's played ten years how many hundred yard games did you have it he's oh I started off slow and then I tapered off it is second down and three Bobby Hutton straight up the middle close to the 35 yard line before he's pushed back and very close to first down yardage Hutton has not gotten much duty today as tavataan Georgia to carry most of the load and it is the nephew our days for a Panthers first down robbing melee number 82 and Harold whoops number 1 made the tackle for the Mountaineer defense Tommy usek does not throw the football as well as Matt Cavanaugh but he came in and he took charge with a lot of leadership ability and what he he really did is he provided the opportunity for Tony Dorsett to carry the football more particularly out of the I formation which they're going through right now first and ten from the 34 yard line Torsten up the middle near the 40 yard line and Cavanaugh is warming up on the sidelines Matt Cavanaugh has had stitches taken in his elbow he's come out now with the trainer and is throwing the football along the sideline Jeff Massarelli made the tackle on Dorsett that time after the gain of five Tony Dorsett from the tailback position out of the I formation taking one of his favorite plays the spris draw which we've seen him do several times today the stress draw the power Fitch in the isolation was a blast play those are the three big ones that he runs he operates well I was a beer but I think he prefers the tailback slots the i-45 Thomson double now in and fullback music running the option pushes the 45 yard line it's near midfield Tommy using coming in from that Calvin on running the option well picking up enough garbage for the first down there you see Cavanaugh on the sidelines Dorsett has got the New Jersey and orcid is not going back into the game his fourth tearaway jersey of the afternoon Tony now has 124 yards so far today how many jerseys for the season do we have a stat on I don't know they say it's over $500 worth so I guess you could figure it out first and tenth in West Virginia territory out of the I formation fighting for yardage getting close to West Virginia territory near fifth field a gain of about 1 yard to midfield number 47 Paul Jordan the free safety a senior at 6 feet in 185 makes the defensive play look who's coming back that's Cavanaugh boy he's get the eyes round of applause for the faithful Panther fans Tommi use that gets congratulation from the offensive coaches as he comes off the field for filling in so admirably as he has done off and on all year eleven minutes to go in the game pit seating 17 to 10 second down and nine from midfield Cavanaugh back to Dorsett out of the I formation George defense of 52:45 stop by number 13 Johnny shells were 45 Lester Johnson another 50 cannon Culbertson all West Virginia Mountaineers defensive players you know you can just about figure that Tony Dorsett is going to get six yards or boar on the sweep every time he turns that corner he really has a sense of keying off the lead block at making that cut either inside or outside Tom sendawal back in at fullback for the Pitt Panthers third down and three yards to go counter option Cavanaugh in trouble he's caught and wisely that time decided to eat the football because of Fitch at that particular time could have been very dangerous Robyn Neely number 82 the defensive tackle only a sophomore 230 pounder makes the play but now has 5,800 career yards it's only 200 away from that 6,000 yard mark Berry's fighter to punt on fourth down hits it from his own 45 yard line not a real good kick but it may be turned out to be super they can down it inside trying to get it at the one-yard line a penalty marker goes down and we'll see if they did in fact down the football like you may have a clip against West Virginia or we may have interfering with the catch it could be a number of different things it was thrown rather late after the ball had bounced around for quite a while and they have parked the football inside the one-yard line but we'll have to see what the infraction is they're conferring with both fit in West Virginia players and so West Virginia will go on offense and we'll be back with all of the action for you in just a moment the Panthers got a break I was on the punt a clipping penalty was assessed against West Virginia and the Panthers will have a first down at the West Virginia 31 the reason that they retain the ball is because West Virginia never did take possession of the football the penalty happened during the course of the kick and not on a West Virginia run back if that had happened West Virginia would have kept possession and then can assess the penalty but now the ball comes back and the Panthers stay on offense first intent from the pizza from the West Virginia 31 Dorset out of the I formation is very short yardage down to around the 30-yard line Robin Healy number 31 another number teeny to makes the tackle for West Virginia nine and a half minutes left to play in this game Pitt leading 17 to 10 that is an unusual set of circumstances on that penalty if you ever seen that happened before I think so I'm not sure what I have [Music] now to the i-formation now on second down and nine the 30-yard line of West Virginia counter option Cavanaugh back to Dorset door sequester's has 32 25 [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] let's say he's a one-man office he is a one [Music] every time he gets the ball on that sweep he's got to figure eat this dangerous go all the way 32 fairies 161 yards just today a 30 yard touchdown run that is very very emblematic of the career Tony Dorsett his head that is a typical Tony Dorsett touchdown run an 82-yard drive as the Panthers started back deep in their own territory Carson long against perfect 39 out of 39 extra points and the Panthers allowed in front 24 to 10 with just 9 minutes and 5 seconds left to play that football game I think this is the best example yet the incredible athletic ability of Tony Dorsett the 4.35 speed the cutting ability the ability to break a game wide open Randy Rudy Shan with a key block right down around the five jars and I help sources get in here it is from the insulin cover could get a wider look at Tony Dorsett and he turns the corner look at this first right here and watch this cut at the balance the ability to stay up unbelievable strength as well as great speed Tony Dorsett the greatest running back in the history of college football a very typical run that has turned out to be a very key touchdown run for the Pitt Panthers and given them a little breathing room they're back to a 14-point lead 24 to 10 with 905 left to play in the game the Panthers now will be kicking off and crashing long every time he kicks the point as he did there is 39 consecutive extra point stretches that record did he now Holt says the leading kick scorer in NCAA college football history back deep to receive for West Virginia number 40 Lee Dowell is in the middle flanked by the 44 woods to 32 Dave Riley lon will kick it from the near hashmark magnificent kick-off and Carson long puts it in the end zone and Dwayne woods will not return it and so West Virginia will take over at their own 20-yard line for the first and 10 Tony Dorsett keeps closing in on more and more career records he now jitan he's just a hundred and eighty more yards to reach the 6,000 yard mark he needs a hundred and ninety five yards for a single-season record and he needs 314 yards for two thousand two thousand yards of the season that would be unbelievable first in ten Mountaineers from their own 20 Ken Kenda operating the option wood out to the 25 yard line Etienne wallowski over to make the flavors in Deadwood picks up a big five yards on first down it'll be second down at five and he needs five for jerseys to finish the season I'll Chesley into the game for Pippa 455 replacing Jimbo Cramer linebacker as you see the situation here as the clock continues to run here in the fourth quarter Rodriguez goes out split live to the left Steve Lewis is split to the right easily avoids to the better thrown behind Lois antenna for Lewis Danny Kendra's incomplete Lois was open for a brief second JC Wilson and outfit Panthers fans still exhorting they're number one and they have every reason to enjoy us the first time in 37 years the West Virginia however was offensive for the doc fifth of the toss the national rankings today third down and five for West Virginia Cedric Thomas in motion as Kendra rolls out to the left looking from flowing through how to bow over on the far side five jury depending on the plate many have a penalty marker down that's going to be a penalty on jury for a lady enough please there's going to be a roughness or that's what I think you're right cover five jury over there gave the receiver a shot a little love tap out of bounds here it is again let's take a look at Ventura jury if the jury is in or out cedric thomas the intended receiver he was well out of bounds my jury hitting able to stamp the officials talking to Steve early the offensive captain and strong side guard for the Buccaneers personal foul first out for the West Virginia Mountaineers now market from the 25-yard line of West Virginia that will move it out to the 40 and the Mountaineers will have a first and ten trailing 24 to 10 with 8 minutes and 20 seconds left to go in the game Steve Lewis saying thanks I needed that the Mountaineers looking to get another drive started they had one very consistent Drive in which they marched 52 yards after a fumble the score there only touched out of the game on first and 10 easily up for a four-yard gain out to the 44 yard line Randy Holloway makes the tackle and Walter easily continues to do most of the running work the West Virginia Mountaineers today Cedric Thomas back into the game at wide receiver for West Virginia replacing Manuel Rodriguez well right now I think Tony Dorsett is far and away the frontrunner for the offensive player of the game for Chevrolet Jindra with a fake a flair pastor Duane wood to the left flat breaks the tackle woods down the sideline crosses midfield and gets into Pitt territory near the 45 yard line went on the bounce by Jeff Delaney the monster backer and 55 al Chesley the linebacker on that side you take another look at a cover I've always liked this play the slip screen or the quick screen as he fires it up Duane would number 40 for quite a few good running backs abhorrent number 44 wears one of my old favorites Kyle rope the old Mustang there you go you're telling your age now cover first it I watched it when I was a kid first of ten Mountaineers from the pit 45 great defensive reaction by Cecil Johnson the senior 220-pound defensive end on the right side who broke in a key when we start talking about the player of the game for Chevrolet Jimbo Kramer had 10 tight on that Smith having a good game for the about there Kendra moving up now on second down and ten dropping straight back looking to throw over the middle incomplete almost intercepted by five jury who was behind the in isolation on Lewis now he's as we mentioned their leading receiver and had a chance to receive that ball on a cover whoops we lost well what the starter run there was a curl in pattern the ball was a little bit high Lewis tip to the jury nearly had a shot at picking it off Cedric Thomas has splitter out or other Manuel Rodriguez just without wide to the right Lewis to the left Kendra wants to throw again the pressure is on he gets away from the rush now he's really in trouble and brought back in West Virginia Territory around his own 41 yard line people Johnson it can be hauled away along with God's carries put into printer on this is what so the top cat award by several people they're getting after that quarterback no it's been the best pass defense there is very hard just throw the ball when you're looking up at the sky Jeff Betty will have to punt it again he hits a triple about his own 30 yard line it hangs up a fair catch is called for the 20 yard line by winning Taylor number 29 and if it Panthers will go back on offense leading 24 to 10 with six and a half minutes to go hi I'm Tony joystick and when you're number one you always have to be checking out your competition over your shoulder and that's what I'll be doing this afternoon on ABC watching Arkansas and takes it in in there's our man Tony Dorsett I'll tell you that's going to be one kind of football game not only a good matchup of coaches every Villard Frank Broyles a couple old rivals but Ben Cowan the leading rusher in the Southwest Conference will be going up against big George Woodard who in his second year there is already six in career rushing and he's only a sophomore that's at 4 o'clock right after this one and we've got a game here 1st and 10 from the 20 Dorsett out of the i-formation running to the right gets about 3 yards out to the 23 yard line Pitts own 23 tackle made by number 78 Chuck Smith and number 1 Harold woods up from the secondary six minutes 20 seconds left to play Panthers lead them out nears in this backyard for all 24 to 10 and it has not been as easy as many people thought it would be but the Pitt Panthers this afternoon West Virginia has played outstanding defense and their defense has been on the field a great deal cover yes it has and it's not over yet 24:10 don't happen airs out yes gives me Cavanaugh as you see is back in at quarterback running the option play keeping the ball is loose and I think West Virginia is falling outs about here's have an SS 33 yard line of kit Cavanaugh his third fumble of the afternoon when I'm 5 Jeff Vasarely as you look at the Mountaineer mascot comes up with the football for West Virginia when I say it's not over yet I mean it's not over yet about the ears are getting the brakes that they've been looking for and they have opportunity now first and ten from the pit 34 yard line dan kimbrough a quarterback seven of 22 for 61 yards of staff to know and he's rushed 12 times for 27 yards counter option big hole easily breaking inside the 20 down around the 17 yard line shades with a big Z right there that your favorite play any play where I can run 15 or 20 yards with high favorite play Walter easily the freshman 6 to a 210 founder finally stopped in the secondary by JC Wilson and Bob curry first and 10 West Virginia at the pit 18 yard line Kendra to Easley again across the 15 yard line down around the 14 Jimbo Cramer number 58 makes the tackle along with Don Parrish and Arne Wetherington West Virginia capitalizing on that turnover immediately there you look at Walter Easley that is a good-looking freshman both a very heavily recruited and a big man in the scheme of things today because Paul Lumley the regular fullback was injured during Tulane and it's only been in briefly easily 15 carries for 77 yards second down and six Blaine woods on the action at the 10 yard line down inside towards the 9 yard line John parish 68 and JC Wilson 21 make the defensive hit for the Pitt Panthers I think there was a mixup there that looks like a broken play but it turned out pretty good my boys have senior tailback 510 185 pounds and muscular and strong but equipments third down and two now the ball just across the 10-yard line third and through for the Mountaineers deep in fifth territory Kendra Kendra keeping turns it upfield gets very close to first down yardage I believe he has it I've used it my right bionic eye I'm gonna say he's got it Randy Holloway number 70 now Chesley 55 on the tackle for the 50 fence and it is first and goal for the West Virginia Mountaineers with four minutes and 10 seconds left to play in the game Pittsburgh leading 24 to 10 West Virginia with a first and goal at the Panthers seven and a half yard line I say we said at the top of the show that cliffhangers have characterized this series and we're going right down to the nitty gritty again you couldn't ask for a better game than this Kendra watch the throw and he installed behind Cedric Thomas the intended receiver incomplete Casey Wilson defending on the play Cedric Thomas had a step on Thomas the matchup will have Drake Thomas and JC Wilson it's the beer pass he fakes the veer option he's trying to just lob it down here just Cedric Hartman hoping that he could maybe take a step get to the outside department seen the ball a little sooner he could have made the Justin baby gun control you got a west virginia player insured on to play it's number 74 top creep a sophomore six 435 founder one of the offensive linemen so not beers and again it appears feet left knee seven and a half guard line again the option play easily Leeroy seller is lost hurry up for the 50 best makings great defensively and that'll bring up a fourth down situation or mother a third down this week we're West Virginia about this big scene Notre Dame has beaten Alabama 21 HD one of the seats on season for the Irish believe back in the bowl picture of win over Alabama a big one for the Irish third down now in goal from the 9 yard line Kendra wants to throw rolling to the right on the option pass into the end zone touchdown West Virginia the butter man but about ears today with another touchdown reception his second of the afternoon and what we better not count out and Kendra is our offensive player of the game we've been three minutes 11 seconds left remember what he did last year here it is again the culmination of a 34 yard drive following a Pitt bubble a lot of points by quarterback Dan Kendra he waits til a precise moment and there is this favorite receiver number 33 Steve Lewis just sitting down in the open area they're going for two now as the score is now 24 216 into the end zone and overthrown no good and so West Virginia's attest to folder within six points falls short 3:11 left to go in the game 24:16 pit will be back in a minute Frank Cignetti I'll say I got to fire that guy the way he came out and went for the two there I just I like that attitude of going for the win and he didn't wait til the last one to do it you know he's figuring that what the heck we could get the two points now we're gonna go get the ball back and score another touchdown I like that I'll tell you something that will either make or break the game for him here yep not getting the two-point conversion West Virginia kicking off again the squib kick and again it's fumbled Brandon runa-san fumbling the ball around the five yard line trying to bring it out and he's in big trouble at the 10 the 9 yard line and Pitt is going to start in a hole West Virginia really fired up and the Panthers have had a lot of trouble holding onto their football on kickoffs in punch today I'll tell ya the Mountaineers are really pumped up right now where's that mountain man I'll bet you he's having fun Randy rue - and a Pitt player who tried to feel that football it seems to be there's been some confusion between the two receiving backs under who was going to pick it up and it's happened on numerous occasions and it's caused Pitt a lot of yardage Ruta chance the hip kamikaze isn't either nothing is see us going down on kickoffs that time he was trying to pick one up first and ten Pitt from their own 9 yard line three minutes left to go in the game they leave 24 to 16 over West Virginia Dorsett straight ahead out around the 15 yard line about the 14 Lester Johnson the middle guard number 45 the junior at 6-2 and 225 finally brought Dorsett down [Music] a gain of about 500 flay the fall is out at the 14 yard line it will be second down and five for the Pitt Panthers Randi brutish and in at wide receiver now he's led out to the left eye formation Hutton and Dorsett takes the pitch Dorsett come to the left work done at the 20 yard line out of the 25 yard line Vicki dove 10 yards for Tony Dorsett 55 Jeff Massarelli makes the tackle for West Virginia Isiah that is instant ball control right here anytime you want to control the football you get into number 33 Tony Dorsett business in his favorite place power pitch and look at the blocking cut super block be right along that front wall and everybody's doing their jobs upfield blocking downfield blocking along the line blocking a first and 10 fit Panthers at their own 25 and this time it stores it to the right Hut leading the blocking Dorsett at the 30 yard line across the 32 about the 32 or three yard line and Pitt is going to their friend butter stuff student body right student but he left it lets a hawk do the job 45 Lester Johnson 78 Fuzzy's Smith's play had a great defensive game Dorsett now with 189 yards on 36 carries this afternoon I'll bet so they've run that power pitch close to 30 times and it's picked up a lot of yardage form as you can see right there the hawk also has three TDs today and Carson long is out at a field goal for Pitts 24 points D Lewis has take it to Dan Kendra passes or to West Virginia touchdowns this time it's Dorsett to the left Dorsett crushes the 35 breaks the tackle to the 40 and spins down right at the 40 yard line Harold woods covered him right there Chuck Smith and plucking Thornton making the defensive play for West Virginia well if he gets 200 yards he's got the evil pie another NCAA record but I don't know that's too wise to be using Dorsett this much this late because he may be a little tired and remember there's a big game plan Penn State that's right but they do have about 13 days before they play that one they have next week off and I think that they'd be willing to pull out all stops to pull this game out the clock continues to run down to 53 seconds West Virginia has not yet called a timeout Dorsett to the right or sit at the 40 across the 40 to the 43 yard line and the Panthers are running out the clock with 43 seconds left to play in the game West Virginia now signals for a timeout finally the Mountaineers stopped the clock is with with 39 seconds left West Virginia trails it spit 24 to 6 we'll be back with the final few seconds in just a minute there's the situation 39 seconds left that's the big factor is pit leaves 24 to 16 over West Virginia in a typical backyard brawl shootout Tony Dorsett needs only one more yards this afternoon to tie the record held by Bill Merrick of Wisconsin and John cappelletti of Penn State for the most consecutive 200 yard games and here it comes of course it may not get it if he doesn't run running around trying to let the clock run out Dorsett and there's a little fight going on down on the field right now somebody's getting on Dorsett and whoever got on Dorsett has taken a great deal of heat from Matt Carroll number 77 and now everybody is punching and slugging I hate to see that cover at the end of a great game like this things get out of hand all of a sudden yeah I hate to see it literally turn into a backyard for all I'll tell you something Kent Culbertson number 54 West Virginia is still getting after it he doesn't want to quit Chuck Smith was on top of Dorsett and Tony Dorsett the team player that he is trying to run a clock out for his team may have crossed himself another record there that's not the important thing the important thing is we've lost a little sportsmanship this afternoon as tempers have finally gotten out of hand and the frustration is to come to the forefront let's see if we can catch the late shot pointed out it's just trying to stall right here he's running around with a bit what's the runs o'clock down he's really not that concerned with another record and right about now we get a late shot and it's by number 82 Robin B Lee and that's what started it all I guess there's Frank Cignetti over there trying to get his players off the field talking to Robin mealy and some other players so we'll let things settle down we'll be back in just a minute roses are red violets are blue light beer from Miller I love you you've got 1/3 less calories in the regular beer and really are less filling which is something to choose but what I like above all the rest is the way you taste you are the best yes blue is the violet and red is the Rose and if you don't believe me I'm gonna break your nose like beer from Miller everything you always wanted in a beer unless with the largest number of people have are used in Hollywood film for the most exciting all-star cast ever assembled Universal presents the motion picture shock of the year this is the one you've heard about and the one you'll never forget two-minute warning the incredible one rated are now playing at theaters everywhere [Music] but just six seconds left to play in the game they were offsetting penalties the late hit against West Virginia an unsportsmanlike conduct against the fifth Panthers made it no play the play will go over and Tony Dorsett left the field for his own protection because fans of both teams have come out of the stadium and the right hand along the sideline and of course the left with 22 seconds left to go with the game there you see Johnny majors out of the field trying to get things settled down a little bit Matt Cavanaugh is talking for the official Frank stick that he was out calming his players down and we showed you before we went to the commercial that's a late hit by number 82 Robin melee off Dorsett started things at Matt Carroll number 77 one of the offensive linemen the fifth game do dorset's aid and that's excited a couple of West Virginia defenders and then all of a sudden both benches were empty and things were getting a little bit out of hand but the coaches and officials did a good job penalties were assessed the play will go over and we now have six seconds left in the game Cavanaugh quarterback just gonna fall down and this will probably be the last play of the game as West Virginia has given the Pitt Panthers everything they could hope for today and a great great football team cover the clock is not running and apparently there are still six seconds on the clock apparently they inadvertently ran some time off the clock and they're going to have to run a little more time now the clock is running down two to one and the ball game is over and so that's the final score 24 to 16 pit over West Virginia travel arrangements have paid Maine through in a promotional fee paid by united airlines fly the friendly skies of united where you're the
