STATE'S DEFENSE
Most starling face revea.ed by
3tatisti•cs was that Pitt's rushing
attack was held to minus 23
yards by the rock-ribbed State
defense, virtually unassailable all
- :r-ason via the ground route.
In total defense, the Nittany
en only 43 yards to the
`anthers by ground and air. This
"pure, who compiled with Vi
als for the Mrst eight tilts, gives
- tate an unofficial sesason mark
of 76.8 yards given up per game
to the opposition, by far the best
- efensive record of current col
elev-ns across the nation.
