In his Pitt Football Q&A at the Post-Gazette online, Paul Zeise suggests his All-Time Team for Pitt, and it is an impressive team. For a school that has had an up and down history, it has produced some great players. And it makes me marvel at just how good the teams from 76-82 were and how silly it is to think that Pitt will ever get back to that level.
I'd put these guys up against any other school in the country. What do you think?
OFFENSE
• Quarterback: Dan Marino• Running Backs: Tony Dorsett, Marshall Goldberg
• Wide Receivers: Larry Fitzgerald, Antonio Bryant
• Offensive Lineman: Mark May, Jimbo Covert, Bill Fralic, Rueben Brown, Mark Stepnoski
• Tight End: Mike Ditka
• Kicker: Josh Cummings
DEFENSE
• Defensive Lineman: Hugh Green, Rickey Jackson, Bill Maas, Randy Holloway• Linebackers: Joe Schmidt, Jerry Olsavsky, Tony Woods
• Defensive Backs: Darrelle Revis, Tim Lewis, Tom Flynn, Ramon Walker
• Punter: Andy Lee
The offense is unbelievable. The defense may be the weakest part, especially in the secondary and maybe at linebacker, but those are still some very good players Pitt can throw out there.
