2017 Pitt Football Game Notes Bobby Dodd Stadium • Saturday, September 23, 2017 Game No 2017 Pitt Football Game Notes Bobby Dodd Stadium • Saturday, September 23, 2017 Game No. 4: Georgia Tech 35, Pitt 17 Team • Pitt dropped its ACC opener 35-17 to Georgia Tech on Saturday afternoon at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta. • The Panthers (1-3, 0-1 ACC) have now lost three consecutive games for the first time since 2014. It is Pitt’s first 1-3 start since the 2005 season, when the Panthers would fall to 1-4 before finishing with a record of 5-6. • The Yellow Jackets (2-1, 1-0 ACC) defeated Pitt for the first time since 2014 and took a 3-2 lead in the ACC series between the Coastal Division rivals. Pitt still leads the all-time series 7-5. • Georgia Tech used a potent rushing attack to earn the victory, tallying 442 yards on the ground via 67 attempts. It was Pitt’s first time allowing over 400 yards rushing since Navy did it in the Military Bowl on Dec. 28, 2015. • On the other side of the ball, Pitt was held to 37 yards rushing on 20 attempts, which was its lowest output since rushing for just 23 yards against Syracuse on Nov. 23, 2013. • Pitt forced four Georgia Tech turnovers—all via fumble recovery. It marked Pitt’s first game forcing four turnovers since the Panthers forced three fumbles and recorded an interception against Penn State on Sept. 10, 2016. • Seven Pitt defenders set or tied career-high tackle totals: Oluwaseun Idowu (13), Saleem Brightwell (10), Damar Hamlin (7), Keyshon Camp (6), James Folston Jr. (4), Dewayne Hendrix (2) and Rashad Wheeler (1). Ben DiNucci • DiNucci earned his first career start at quarterback for the Panthers. • DiNucci led Pitt on a 5-play, 78-yard touchdown drive to open the game. • He threw a career-long touchdown pass of 28 yards to Qadree Ollison to cap the game’s initial drive. • DiNucci finished 12-of-19 passing for 110 yards and that touchdown. Quadree Henderson • Henderson had an 80-yard punt return for a touchdown in the second quarter to tie the game at 14-14. • Henderson’s punt return TD was the second of his career and his sixth return score. • It marked a career-long punt return, eclipsing his 65-yard punt return TD against Duke on Nov. 19, 2016. • Henderson is the first Pitt player with multiple punt return touchdowns in a career since Darrelle Revis. Alex Kessman • Kessman booted a 55-yard field goal in the final play of the first half, his first career FG over 30 yards in length. • It was the longest Pitt field goal since Chris Blewitt’s 56-yard game-winning FG at Georgia Tech in 2015. Jordan Whitehead • Whitehead returned to the Pitt starting lineup at safety and made an impact on both sides of the ball. • Whitehead’s first play of the season was a 30-yard rush on offense. • On Pitt’s first defensive series, the junior safety recovered a fumble, his third career fumble recovery. • Whitehead finished the game with 35 yards rushing, seven solo tackles and a fumble recovery. Ryan Winslow • Winslow continued to punt at a very high level, averaging a career-best 50.1 yards per punt on seven attempts. • The Pitt senior punter unleashed four punts that traveled over 50 yards, including a game-high 59-yarder. .

  • 1 Keynote Address by Georgia Tech President G. Wayne
    KEYNOTE ADDRESS BY GEORGIA TECH PRESIDENT G. WAYNE CLOUGH Bobby Dodd Institute Breakfast, 2/20/03 It is very exciting for Georgia Tech to be a part of the Bobby Dodd Industries’ 2003 Breakfast with Champions. We join with you in saluting Tom Graf for his many years of advocacy on behalf of Atlanta’s disabled citizens. And I want to recognize and thank Wes Durham and the Georgia Tech pep band for getting us into the spirit of this special occasion. Georgia Tech and BDI share the legacy of a champion named Bobby Dodd. We called him the “Grey Fox,” and he spent his entire coaching career at Georgia Tech. He was an outstanding mentor to young people because he believed in them. He was quick to praise their accomplishments, and he knew exactly what to say to restore their self-confidence after they’d made a mistake. He wanted each one of his players to be their personal best, whether on the field or in the classroom, and he gave them the help and support they needed to succeed. Bobby Dodd signed on with Georgia Tech as a backfield coach on the day after Christmas in 1930, and in 1945 he became head coach. His 22 years as head coach were the golden era of Georgia Tech football. His 1952 team won the national championship, and between 1952 and 1956 he achieved a national record that still stands today of six consecutive appearances in the most prestigious bowl games of the day, including the Sugar Bowl, the Orange Bowl and the Cotton Bowl.

  • Top All-Time SEC Football Coaches Head to Head Records
    Head to Head Results for Top Football Coaches of Teams Ever Associated with the SEC One measure of a coach is how he has performed against other coaches. This is a compilation of top SEC coaches records against one another. A table of head to head records follows. Ranks are of winning percentage amongst coaches with at least 10 years career and at least 5 at team(s) associated with the SEC. Italics are used to indicate redundant results (listed first under the opposing coach). 1. Only coaches who coached a team that is or was a member of the SEC were considered (whether or not the team was a member during the coach’s tenure). 2. Coaches with at least 10 years career (per “NCAA Record Book” and 5 years at team(s) associated with the SEC are included. 3. Top 15 coaches by winning percentage are included. 4. This excludes some coaches who haven’t coached as many years, such as Urban Meyer. It would be difficult to include the numerous coaches with good records that didn’t stay in coaching as long as the included coaches. Interestingly, when coaches have met 3 or more times (21 such cases between the top 15 coaches), there are only 3 cases where the coach with the lesser career winning percentage has gotten more head to head wins than the coach with the better career winning percentage. Those cases are Wade v. Dodd (2-3), Fulmer v. Spurrier (5-9), and Dooley v. Dye (3-5). Note that Neyland, with the best career winning percentage, has winning records against each of the other top 6 coaches by career winning percentage (cumulative 29-10-7).

  • All-Gator Bowl Team Based Off Gator Bowl Performance OFFENSE
    All-Gator Bowl Team Based Off Gator Bowl Performance OFFENSE Quarterback (Vote for 1) Matt Cavanaugh (Pittsburgh QB 1975 – 1977) Pitt exploded for 566 total yards and a record 30 first downs. Cavanaugh threw for 387 yards and 4 touchdowns to shoulder his team’s offense and lead them to a win over the South Carolina Gamecocks. Chip Ferguson (Florida State QB 1985 – 1988) The Seminoles accounted for 597 yards of total offense in 1985 and 338 came via QB Chip Ferguson’s arm. He added 2 touchdowns as the Seminoles would go on to defeat the Oklahoma State Cowboys 34-23. Kim Hammond (Florida State QB 1965 – 1967) Penn State looked to put the 1967 Gator Bowl away early, and by the looks of the first half they succeeded. Penn State took a comfortable 17-0 lead into halftime. Kim Hammond simply took over in the second half. Hammond completed 37 passes for 362 yards, both records that eclipsed former FSU quarterback Steve Tensi. Hammond scored twice; once on the ground and once through the air. 14 of his completions were to his favorite target, Ron Sellers, who caught for 145 yards. The Seminoles stormed back and nailed a field goal with 15 seconds left to end the game in a 17-17 tie. Graham Harrell (Texas Tech QB 2005 – 2008) Harrell had one of the most successful Gator Bowl performances against the Virginia Cavaliers. He set the bowl record in passing attempts (69), completions (44), and yards gained (407). He threw for 3 touchdowns to lead the Red Raiders to a 38-35 victory over the Cavaliers and was named game MVP.
