After a couple of near misses, the Green Wave hit the win column for the first time last week with a come-from-behind 26-22 victory over the Pitt Panthers in Pittsburgh. Led by linebacker Bob Olson (230') and tackle Mike McCoy (270), the Notre Dame defense is one of the biggest in the nation ... but this won't pose a unique problem for Tulane. Last week in Pittsburgh, the Green Wave managed to scratch out 34 yards rushing against a massive Pitt defense that had allowed a total of -1 yard rushing in its last two games. The Green Wave moved through the air when they had to last Saturday, and you can look for more of the same tonight. Quarterback Rusty Lachausse threw for 259 yards against Pitt, connecting on 11 of 15 attempts. Sophomore split end Maxie LeBlanc caught four of those passes for two touchdowns and 146 yards, only six yards short of Joe Shinn's single game Tulane record. LeBlanc is tied with wingback Steve Barrios for the team pass receiving leadership with 13 recep tions. The Irish limited the Southern Cal rushing attack, ranked eleventh in the nation, to only 103 yards rushing last Saturday, so the Green Wave will need a big night from Messrs. LeBlanc, Lachaussee and Barrios. The Tulane defense, playing it tough when they had to, shut out Pitt in the second half of The Tulane Alumni Homecoming last week's game. Committee gratefully acknowledges Junior Steve Stark, playing his first game at the participation and contributions blocked a pair of passes and a defensive end, of the following: punt in the fourth quarter last week to help tum the ball game around.
