Pitt’s ‘pump-up’ for this season…

Here is “The Journey “- the “pump-up’ to Navy’s  2015 season…

GAME STORYLINES

*  Pitt makes its 32nd all-time postseason appearance when it faces nationally ranked Navy in the Military Bowl presented by Northrop Grumman.

*  Led by first-year head coach Pat Narduzzi, the Panthers finished the regular season with an 8-4 record, their best 12-game mark since 2009. A bowl victory would give Pitt nine wins, its most since that 2009 edition finished with a 10-3 mark.

*  The Panthers and Midshipmen are not unfamiliar foes. In a series that dates back to 1912, Pitt leads, 22-14-3. The teams split the past four meetings, the most recent occurring in 2013 when host Navy defeated Pitt, 24-21, on a field goal as time expired.

*  A victory over Navy would give Pitt its first win over a ranked opponent since a 28-21 decision over No. 24/25 Notre Dame in 2013.

*  Playing in Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, this bowl will essentially be a road game for the Panthers. Pitt went 5-1 on the road this season, its best away mark since 2008. Pitt’s lone road defeat came at Iowa on a 57-yard field goal on the game’s last play.

*  The Military Bowl will be a classic case of strength vs. strength. The Panthers rank 20th nationally against the run, surrendering just 126.1 yards per game. The Midshipmen boast the nation’s No. 3 rushing offense, producing an average of 319.2 per contest.

*  Pitt became the first school in ACC history to sweep the league Rookie of the Year awards. The media voted freshman safety Jordan Whitehead the Overall and Defensive Rookie of the Year, while redshirt freshman tailback Qadree Ollison earned the Offensive Rookie of the Year award. The ACC coaches voted Whitehead and Ollison Co-Rookie of the Year winners.

PITT-NAVY SERIES NOTES

Pitt holds a 22-14-3 advantage over Navy in a series that began in 1912…the Panthers and Midshipmen have split the past four meetings…Navy claimed the most recent encounter, 24-21, in Annapolis during the 2013 season…Pitt scored victories in 2009 at Heinz Field (27-14) and on the road in 2008 (42-21)…in 2007, Navy defeated the Panthers, 48-45, in two overtimes…

… the ‘07 encounter marked the first meeting between the two teams since 1989…Pitt and the Midshipmen played 19 consecutive times between 1961-79, followed by seven consecutive meetings from 1983-89…Pitt’s longest win streak in the series is six games (1914-16; 1933-34; 1954), while Navy’s is four games (1965-68)…two of the most famous games in the Pitt-Navy series took place in Annapolis…

… on Oct. 23, 1976, Tony Dorsett broke the NCAA career rushing mark on a breathtaking 32-yard touchdown run in a 45-0 Pitt victory…

Dorsett would win the Heisman Trophy that season and Pitt would claim the 1976 national championship with a 12-0 record…on the opposite end of the emotional spectrum from a Pitt perspective, the Panthers suffered their only loss of the 1963 season with a 24-12 setback to the host Midshipmen and quarterback Roger Staubach, who would win the Heisman that year…

Pitt finished the 1963 season with a 9-1 mark and ranked as high as No. 3 in the final polls, while Navy went 9-2 and ranked No. 2.

Too funny.
Pitt will win outright.

Comment by Sfpitt 12.19.15 @ 11:09 am

Weather forecast is holding steady at 58 and cloudy!

Comment by PittPT 12.19.15 @ 11:12 am

My Dad was a three year letterman for football after he came home from WWII. Semper Fi!

So I was indoctrinated early.

Don’t know how he did it, as we were as middle class as middle class could be, but I had the good fortune of being at two of Pitt football’s biggest moments.

Sugar Bowl against Georgia for the N.C., and he took me and my brother to Annapolis for the game where Dorsett broke the record.

I can’t remember sprecifically if we went because he thought he’d break the record, or if we just went because it was so close.

My memories are still pretty good as a youngster at those games, but I have noticed

as you get older, the memories move from a running video in your mind, to they start becoming snapshots in your mind.

Still have the ticket stubs, and a couple key chains. A car dealership made key chains, yellow disc, in the shape of a record, LP, and had two cracks on it, either side.

A “broken record”, with a Pitt logo, and Tony’s yards against Navy, and the all time record yardage.

40 years ago……how can that be???

Thank you for letting me ramble, brought back memories the more I typed.

Comment by Dan 12.19.15 @ 11:57 am

Dan – that is what Pitt football is all about for us older readers on here.

My best memories – aside from 1976 – was when I was a young boy and my parents, aunts and uncles sat high up on the 50 yard line and us cousins + little friends ran rampant in the endzone. Before the game my uncle, who was Chief of Pathology at Presby-University hospital just down Cardiac Hill from the stadium, would throw open the pathology labs and have what seemed like hundreds of adults and kids for the pre-game “tailgate” party…. and then, in those days, the post-game Pitt loss wake.

The lab sinks were full of beer, booze and sodas and we all cooked hot dogs on metal sticks over Bunsen Burners. We’d be on campus from about 9:30 until 5:00 or so after the game.

It WAS fun having an on-campus stadium but back in the 60s & 70s Pitt was still a relatively small commuter college – not the behemoth University it is now that has needed all the big space in Oakland to grow and to still keep growing.

The good old days sometimes are just that.

Comment by Reed 12.19.15 @ 12:17 pm

I always followed Pitt when I was very young, but also followed Alabama in the 60s because my all my best friend talked about was Notre Dame.

But as a fan … I became heads-over-heels with college FB when Majors arrived. Pitt and their chief rival both being Top 10 teams annually .. and of course, 1 National title and 3 straight 1 loss seasons. I’ve been hooked ever since … even in the mid 90s.

I just watched a bowl special on ESPN which ended with talk of the Military Bowl. Keenan Reynolds was the subject of conversation as you would expect, but the final minutes were focused on the fact that this will be Pitt’s 8 straight bowl game but HCPN will be the 6th different HC. And they wondered just how further this program would be if it had any stability. I would hope that we will soon find out.

Comment by wbb 12.19.15 @ 12:28 pm

Dan, Reed: They are still trying to return to me the half-spent bottle of Thunderbird I rolled down the stadium aisles during my ’65 sophomore year.

It’s OK, keep it. Consider it Vintage.

Comment by steve1 12.19.15 @ 12:30 pm

Watching Aliquippa in State Champ game. Pugh is getting abused as So. Col. Keeps running on his side for huge gains. Saw him in BF game, looked bad there also! What’s up with this? Looks OK running the ball.

Comment by JoeKnew 12.19.15 @ 12:39 pm

Joe – according to PoD, Pugh is a RB.

What station are you watching the game on?

Comment by Erie Express 12.19.15 @ 12:45 pm

PCN 100. Looks bad running now also!!

Comment by JoeKnew 12.19.15 @ 1:07 pm

I like this Pitt Livewire video the best because this one is all about the “New Narduzzi Era”! And we ain’t seen nothin yet!

Hail to Pitt! Every Loyal Son! Beat Navy!

Comment by Dr. Tom 12.19.15 @ 1:09 pm

Yeah, Mike knows “Pittsburgh University” inside and out. Then his sidekick, Joe, looks like he has been excommunicated to his Mom’s laundry room to do his podcast. I wonder, is his computer sitting on top of his Mom’s washing machine?

No matter, these guys have no idea what’s up in this matchup between Pitt & Navy. Both will be ancient history soon anyway.

Who gets married in Bogota Columbia in the first place for Christ’s sake? Mike will probably get kidnapped by some Columbian drug cartel and never be heard from again, then that leave sidekick Joe folding towels and whatnot in his Mom’s laundry room from here on out, cause Joe is definitely NOT in the know.

As Narduzzi says, “their going to know that they’ve been in a football game when they’re done playing the “University of Pittsburgh”!

Time to earn some respect, the #1 task is to kick Navy’s ass! H2P!

Comment by Dr. Tom 12.19.15 @ 1:33 pm

Remember Coach Salem’s tweet yesterday that they day may not be over. Check this out

He is either a JUCO or a backup QB at Cal who’s
looking to transfer … I’ll try to get more info

Comment by wbb 12.19.15 @ 1:50 pm

he’s a QB at Fresno Community College .. looks like he has a big arm. Here is his Hudl highlights

Comment by wbb 12.19.15 @ 1:57 pm

@Reed, beer and booze in the pathology sinks!!!

LMAO!!! Good stuff.

@wbb, that’s a good enough reason to follow Alabama!!! Hell, I always liked Clemson when I was little simply because the paw on the helmet.

@Steve1, ha ha, that triggered a great memory of mine, as a kid Pitt fan in the 70’s. Always remember leaving the stadium, and as you left your seats (we were section 26, about 30 yd line), looking at all the empty glass bottles laying around under the seats. And cups!!!

Remember, sometimes they would give some pretty nice plastic cups out with Coca-Cola’s and I remember kids running around picking them up, and having a stack of like 20 or 25 in each hand.

Think I have a few somewhere in the house!! LOL

Comment by Dan 12.19.15 @ 1:58 pm

Funny how you can be wrong, I was so ticked when we got picked for this bowl, looking back, may have been the best thing to happen to Pitt.

Playing a ranked team. Got some momentum with the fans attending a bowl game, over 8K now I believe??

And some networks and publications saying that after the playoff games and big 4 bowl games, the Pitt Navy game is probably the most interesting match up for a college football fan.

My initial pouting was incorrect.

Still don’t like how it went down a little, but overall, has worked out very well for Pitt.

Comment by Dan 12.19.15 @ 2:02 pm

Dan, I have to say I’m still pouting.

Coming up is a no-win daily double to me anyway: Navy, Davidson.

Blech-squared.

Comment by steve1 12.19.15 @ 2:11 pm

The Dukies go down at the Garden.

Great memories of Levance.

Comment by steve1 12.19.15 @ 2:30 pm

Southern Columbia 49, Alliquippa 14, not a good game for Mr. Pugh.

Comment by alcofan 12.19.15 @ 2:32 pm

I enjoyed USC back in the day and Nebraska vs Oklahoma. OJ Simpson and other USC tailbacks.

Never thought Pitt would be anything when I started school in ’68. Then came Majors and Tony Dorsett.

Must beat Navy to keep ol MO going.

10,000 fans in Annapolis will be a big party.

This bowl is the best thing that could have happened for Fan attendance. The Pinstripe bowl vs Indiana and we would have had our normal 2500. Does anyone know how many students are going? Great opportunity for them.

Comment by gc 12.19.15 @ 2:52 pm

In my 4 years of undergrad, Pitt played UCLA each year, actually won in 1971. Oklahoma 3 times ND, PSU, WVU, Army, Navy and Syracuse every year and FlSt in 1971.

How do you start your season with UCLA and Oklahoma?

We won 11 games in four years. In 6 years including grad school, It was Dave Hart, Carl DePasqua, and then Majors came My final year of Grad School.

Not quite the same, but Narduzzi is giving hope that great things can happen again.

Comment by gc 12.19.15 @ 3:09 pm

wbb@1:57PM The JUCO was throwing bombs against some of the weakest pass defenses imaginable.

Time to start developing players for the long term.

Comment by isnore 12.19.15 @ 3:11 pm

isnore, I agree but he does seem to throw a good long ball. What do you think of him having Heinz Field on his twitter page? May mean something.

Comment by wbb 12.19.15 @ 3:15 pm

As a college freshman I witnessed students showering the Pitt Stadium track with empty whiskey bottles in disgust. (1-9)

As a recent graduate I hugged and kissed my fellow students as Tony Dorsett ran for 303 yards vs hated Notre Dame.

Rags to Riches!

Comment by gc 12.19.15 @ 3:18 pm

Sorry guys to rain on our recent good vibes with recruiting, but if we are going the JUCO route for immediate help, where we need it is at the interior of our defensive line for next year. Look at this very sobering fact, not counting our one incoming freshman DL recruit in this current class, we will have only four scholarship players on the interior DL next season. Dintino, Jarrett, Moody & Taleni. That is it!

This is a huge problem. Man could we use another Mark Scarpinato type JUCO or graduate transfer type player coming out of the woodwork to play on the DL for 2016. Either that or Rashad Gary decides he wants to start full time from the 1st day he steps on campus at Pitt when he commits to Narduzzi. Yeah, that’s going to happen!

Right now we don’t have enough bodies to field a scout team DL. Huge problem.

Comment by Dr. Tom 12.19.15 @ 4:00 pm

Dr Tom, here is my guess. If Voytik leaves, Pitt offers the JUCO QB linked to my posting above @ 1:50 (must not have faith in Bertke or DiNucci.)

I agree that a JUCO DT would be welcome … but with Soto, Blair, Hendrix, Edwards plus incoming Gilbert, Jones and possibly Price available at DE … one of these guys are moving to DT.

Comment by wbb 12.19.15 @ 4:12 pm

Guys, always enjoy reading about your memories of Pitt football. I attended my first game when I was 7, 1974. Dan, like you it is only snapshots now, but those few moments are still quite vivid.

Speaking of needed to earn respect, two posts on the ESPN ACC blog this week: 1) Coastal favorites for 2016, 2) best coaches in the Coastal. No mention of Pitt in the Coastal, Duzzer the 6 the best coach in the Coastal.

Comment by Iron Duke 12.19.15 @ 4:17 pm

two more guess ..

– Pugh may have played with broken hand that was hurt last week. It is wrapped and getting checked.

– this is the 16th straight week for Damar Hamlin and Central Catholic to play a FB game. Then his focus may be on his future .. maybe he moves quickly and finally commits (or not)

Comment by wbb 12.19.15 @ 4:17 pm

Needed = needing
6 = 6th
I’d better start drinking

Comment by Iron Duke 12.19.15 @ 4:20 pm

Mendenhall, Johnson, Cutliffe, Fedora and even Fuente has longer track records than PN …. doesn’t mean he will stay 6th two years from now.

Comment by wbb 12.19.15 @ 4:22 pm

Dr. Tom, I strongly agree, the DT pipeline is empty. You need upper classmen that have been in the system. Should be OK this year, but down the road… I do see Soto making the switch. Perhaps a late 5th year senior or juco, but we need freshman in the pipeline.

All the great D-Backs won’t help if we get gouged up the middle.

Comment by gc 12.19.15 @ 4:33 pm

ACC preseason picks in any sport or award especially FB and BB always have us low or at the bottom. Only after our player has overwhelming stats that they cannot dispute do they recognize him or us – Donald, Conner, Whitehead, Ollison, Boyd. etc.

Comment by Frank MD 12.19.15 @ 4:33 pm

Yes, their basis in general was track record. Narduzzi doesn’t really have one. Fuente, Fedora don’t have much of one either. You could argue that BYU went downhill under Mendenhall.

The point is Pitt and Narduzzi have work to do.

Comment by Iron Duke 12.19.15 @ 4:38 pm

From PennLive.com

Kaezon Pugh rushed for a game-high 109 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries.

His 1-yard score capped a 7-play, 66-yard drive that gave the WPIAL champs a 6-0 lead just 1:50 into the game.

Comment by PittofDreams 12.19.15 @ 4:49 pm

Not bad… especially when your losing in a rout.

Comment by PittofDreams 12.19.15 @ 4:50 pm

Since we are pulling out the memories, when I was 10 my grandfather told me at Christmas I would have to wait until after New Years for my present. I was not thrilled with that and kind of figured nothing was coming.
Shortly after he showed up with a football signed by the entire Sugar Bowl team. I thought that was pretty neat and of course had no concept of the importance of that 1956 game.
I think he told me the ball had been used in the game and as we had a close family friend who played, I guess it was possible, but it really doesn’t matter, as I could not resist the temptation of throwing it around and over time wore it out.
Don’t know what it might have been worth today, but I sure would love to have it sitting on my mantel.
Thanks Pap

Comment by Jimbo 12.19.15 @ 4:58 pm

re: the possible QB JUCO transfer///methinks the new OC will probably have a say in the decision.

Yepper we still need tons of help at DT….it will be interesting to see how our recruiting plays out because we probably have only 4 or 5 scholies left.

Comment by isnore 12.19.15 @ 5:04 pm

@wbb yes Hamlin will commit…or not. Your spot on.

This Juco QB, who else has offered?

Comment by Bj 12.19.15 @ 5:28 pm

Bj, have no idea, not sure if even sure if Pitt offered. Just find it strange that a QB from a Calif Juco would have Heinz Field and a tweet from Coach Salem on his twitter

Comment by wbb 12.19.15 @ 5:38 pm

Juco QB has tweets about Pitt, LSU, and even Buffalo on his feed. Maybe the Heinz money shot puts Pitt in the lead for today?

Comment by Iron Duke 12.19.15 @ 5:42 pm

Jimbo, I feel for you. I was given a ball signed by the entire ’63 no-Bowl team.

I might have actually thrown it away.

Me bad, very bad.

Comment by steve1 12.19.15 @ 5:51 pm

that ’56 ball may have been worth something .. but when you’re a kid and you have a football, you’re gonna use it

Comment by wbb 12.19.15 @ 6:06 pm

Down 35-14, Bret Musburger clains BYU’s defense has been playing outstanding….

Hail to Pitt!

Comment by Digdug 12.19.15 @ 6:30 pm

I remember the 1963 Pitt-Navy game. I was a kid but everyone around jumped on the Pitt football bandwagon that season. Only loss Pitt had played at the same site as this year’s Military Bowl.

Comment by Tony77019 12.19.15 @ 6:36 pm

Musburger is a tool.

HTP

Comment by Pitt it Is 12.19.15 @ 6:38 pm

Not knowing what to say to that dellusional statement, Jesse Palmer immediately changes the subject, instead of expanding upon it like a color commentator would normally do.

Hail to Pitt!

Comment by Digdug 12.19.15 @ 6:41 pm

Pitt vs Navy 10:25 mark:

link to youtube.com

Comment by Tony77019 12.19.15 @ 6:49 pm

Well DigDug, when you consider Utah had three pick 6 plus a fumble that set up a short TD drive, that’s 28 points directly on the offense (not the defense). Utah had 28 points before it completed its first pass .. I’m not making that up.

Didn’t watch the game after that, but Musberger’s statement may not have been that far out of line

Comment by wbb 12.19.15 @ 7:06 pm

just checked the stats .. Utah has 71 yards passing and 114 yards rushing. BYU’s defense has played well

Comment by wbb 12.19.15 @ 7:10 pm

Utah finished with less than 200 yards total offense. In fairness, Utah probably played conservative after the big lead

What deserved me is that Purdue couldn’t hit a 3 vs Butler if their lives depended on it today but shot lights out against us at the Pete.

Comment by wbb 12.19.15 @ 7:28 pm

disturbed

Comment by wbb 12.19.15 @ 7:29 pm

Jimbo, I have some really bad news for you. If that ball from the 1956 Sugar Bowl included the signature of one Bobby Grier, then it would have been worth thousands and probably would now be displayed in one of the South’s Civil Rights Museums like the one in Atlanta at Olympic Park.

The bowl game almost didn’t happen because Grier was a “negro” player and Pitt refused to take the Bowl committee’s suggestion to leave him back home in Pittsburgh as a contingency for Pitt to play in the bowl. It was a major discrimination milestone that got national attention at the time. Ended up that Pitt pressured the powers involved and Grier ended up playing, although they had problems at every turn, like getting him into the hotel that the Pitt players were staying in. Very similar to issues Jackie Robinson had to deal with during the same period.
You had a bit of meaningful Pitt history there. Sorry for the bad news.

Comment by Dr. Tom 12.19.15 @ 7:44 pm

I was an engineering student at Pitt in 1963 and we listened to that depressing Navy game. Brought back sad memories. The team turned down a bowl. Imagine that today.

Comment by Frank MD 12.19.15 @ 8:17 pm

Frank – there were a few years recently that I wished Pitt would have turned down their bowl invitation. This year is not one of them.

HCPN has infused the excitement back in Pitt football.

I look forward to witnessing Pitt defeat Navy in Annapolis. The “road warriors” will be 6-1.

HTP!

Comment by Erie Express 12.19.15 @ 8:35 pm

And, as bad, Dr. Tom, Grier was tagged with a clearly mis-called pass interference that was the difference in the game.

Comment by steve1 12.19.15 @ 8:40 pm

I digress. Musburger is still a tool, per Pitt it Is, haha.

Hail to Pitt!

Comment by Digdug 12.19.15 @ 8:53 pm

Regarding the BB game tomorrow at noon – Davidson is averaging 86 points per game with their guards leading the way – top 3 or 4 scorers.

Also, they have several European players. This will be a tough game for the Panthers. Our bigs need to dominate the boards and the guards must guard the perimeter.

And we can’t afford to NOT be ready at the start. Maybe coach Duzz can deliver the pre-game speech.

Comment by Erie Express 12.19.15 @ 8:56 pm

PN is probably not in NYC. I guess Silver Panther will have to do the pre-game speech since Revis will be busy

Comment by wbb 12.19.15 @ 9:08 pm

Guys – don’t talk too much about that ’56 Sugar Bowl – that is one of my upcoming Blather Podcasts… Erie – there is never an upside to turning down a bowl game no matter how the fans feel about it. I find it interesting that after all the blood, sweat and tears (not a Reed original phrase!) the kids put in fans want to deny them a shot at a memorable bowl vacation & game experience.

Comment by Reed 12.19.15 @ 9:25 pm

I believe the 1963 players themselves voted to not accept a bowl invite or maybe it was circumstances. Of course that was the year of Kennedy’s tragic assassination and the PSU game was postponed which affected bowl invite timing.

Comment by Frank MD 12.19.15 @ 10:45 pm

Pittsburgh Central Catholic with their 4th state championship tonight with a 21-18 win over Parkland.

Comment by alcofan 12.19.15 @ 10:54 pm

Didn’t Navy fire the cannon for TD when he broke the record?

100% class at the naval academy.

Comment by deepelemblues 12.20.15 @ 2:51 am

Reed – I was referring to the 6-6 teams that went to three straight BBVA bowl games in Birmingham Alabama.

The third game Pitt was dominated by Ole Miss – the players were disengaged at that game and there weren’t many Pitt fans in attendance, but Ole Miss fans sure did travel well. It was like a home game for them.

I get your point though. Well taken…

Comment by Erie Express 12.20.15 @ 5:58 am

Idk if anyone watched it but that Navy link was for their “Sprint” team, not the varsity team.

Comment by MirrorGoldPearl 12.20.15 @ 9:45 am

Mirror — Fixed that with the ‘other’ Journey… 15 minute of Navy football.
