Pitt undergoes a
PITTSBURGH (AP)
Glen Hyde has survived the
fast pace and wholesale
hitting of spring football drills
at the University of Pitts
burgh, and says he
welcomes the demands of
new Coach Johnny Majors.
"He's pushing us past our
potential, weeding out the
guys who really want to
play," the 6-foot-4, 235-pound
defensive tackle said as sweat
streamed from his red hair
and handlebar moustache.
"The linemen have been
hitting an hour and a half
every day," Hyde said.
"And we Just run, run, run,
and it's paid off because
everyone has commented
about how quick we look,"
said the Boston native.
More than 100 players
opened spring drills under
Majors, the Tennesseean who
was hired to rescue Pitt from
a decade of football
frustration.

'He's pushing us past our potential,
weeding out the guys who really want to play..
'Ten of the guys who quit were on
scholarship but Coach Majors would rather have
them quit now than in the fourth quarter next
season.'
Yet injuries and attrition
cut the Pitt squad in half
for the annual Blue-Gold
intrasquad game which
concluded spring drills
Saturday.
About 30 players are on the
shelf with assorted sprains,
pains and migraines from the
incessant hitting, and another
20 or so chose to quit the
team.
"Ten of the guys who quit
were on scholarship," Hyde
said, "but Coach Majors
would rather have them quit
now than in the fourth quarter
next season." -
At a recent practice,
Majors and his 11 assistants,
attired in white shoes and
flashy yellow windbreakers,
led the players through a
crisp, snappy workout.
The coaches continuously
barked commands, en
couragement and criticism
and the players' whoops and
yells echoed through Pitt's
ancient stadium.

"They either prod you or
praise you, but they never let
up," said Hyde, "and you
can't help but to be en
thusiastic yourself."
On one occasion, the first
team defense ran off the field
after a light scrimmage, and
an assistant coach ran ex
citedly after them.
"That's progress. That's
real progress," he shouted as
he slapped the players
exhuberantly 'on their
helmets.
It was the kind of jubilation
you'd expect to see on the
sideline at a bowl game, and
it stood in sharp contrast to
the low-key approach of
Major's predecessor, Carl
DePasqua.
DePasqua, who was fired
last year after a 1-10 season,
took the subdued approach of
the professionals, reserved
and businesslike.
"I like it better this way,"
said Hyde, a senior from

Massachusetts. "The coaches
say that if you act en
thusiastic, you play en
thusiastic, and I believe
that."
Beyond enthusiasm,
however, Pitt must come up
with players who have the
ability to compete with the
likes of Notre Dame and Penn
State.
Majors had been concerned
that his team may lack ex
plosive players at the skill
positions, wide receiver and
running back.
However, he has more than
50 new recruits coming in
next season, and they'll join
the present squad at summer
camp.
"He's already told us that
the two-a-day workouts at
summer camp are going to be
the hardest we've ever been
through in our lives," said
Hyde. "All I can say is that
anybody who shows up out of
shape is in trouble."
