My trip to Knoxville for the Ten-
nessee-Pitt game was enjoyable and
exciting.
Since I'm partial to both the Vols
and Panthers, I really didn’t get
into rooting for one team or
another.
John Vozniak and Bill LaVigna
made the jaunt with me. Bill’s son,
Matt, is the former All-Stater from
Crestwood and he made traveling
team as a frosh.
Vol trainer, Jim Kerin greeted us
and made the necessary arrange-
ments for our stay. Tim was opti-
_mistic about the Vols’ chances. We
@unked with the UT squad the night
before the game.
Coach Majors visited our room
pFriday evening and we had an
“opportunity to discuss football in
general.
He asked me for my appraisal of
both teams.
I felt Pitt would have five, maybe
six, better players on the field than
Tennessee. I gave the Vols an edge
in the kicking game and at QB,
while Pitt would rate an edge on
defense.
Pitt won the contest, 13-3, and it
was punter Tony Recchia who
really sparkled as he outperformed
Vol A-A Jimmy Colquitt, nailing
down a 46-plus average and consis-
tently punted the Panthers out of
trouble.

Vols were most effective in
moving the ball in the first half, but
managed only three points. Pitt was
held without a first down until their
eighth posession midway through
third quarter. ;
Most of pre-game hype favored
Vols over Panthers by as much as
two TDs.
Jerry McCoin of Athlon told me
before the game he expected Pitt to
win by a touchdown.
Coach Majors got a chuckle out of
Sport Magazine selecting his Vols
No. 1. Said Majors: “I'd say we're a
bit overrated. J can think of a half
dozen teams that warrant that rec-
ognition more than we do.”
Visited with Coach Andy Urbanic
on the field prior to the game and
he seemed quite confident the Pan-
thers could handle things as long as
they didn’t make any disasterous
turnovers for the Vols to convert for
easy TDs.
We had a wild ride to the stadium
as Coach Majors allowed us to
follow the team buses. State troop-
ers halted traffic on the interstate
and we zipped right to the stadium
weaving through throng of fans. We
got to park right under the stadium.
Vols defense played superbly and
showed exceptional speed in getting
to the ball. :
After the game, Coach Majors
said, “Our offense didn’t put points
on the board when we 'had the

opportunity, but Pitt's defense had a
lot to do with that. I was concerned
coming in with Pitt’s size and
strength. Coach Fazio has an out-
standing group of athletes. We had
a good effort from our defense,
better than I anticipated.”

his team can control their own

Spartan fans are aiready claiming
this is the year! I've heard that
before, too.
Some real significant college tilts
this week involving teams in the
hunt for a national title: West Vir-
ginia at Maryland; Ohio State at
Oklahoma; Goergia at Clemson;
Iowa at Penn State; Texas at
Auburn. I like the home teams in all
of the contests.
