Pittsburgh Panthers Celebrate 50 Years of 1976 Championship | Pittsburgh News

Pittsburgh Panthers are celebrating the 50th anniversary of their 1976 national championship—the only undefeated, untied season since WWII—by rolling out a full year of tributes: commemorative buttons, video features, exhibits, and a big October 10th halftime ceremony against North Carolina, complete with rally towels and a Tony Dorsett bobblehead for early arrivals. That unstoppable team, led by Heisman-winning legend Tony Dorsett, went 12-0, dominated the nation, and capped it off with a 27-3 Sugar Bowl win over Georgia—all while Dorsett rushed for nearly 2,000 yards and 22 touchdowns, becoming the only Pitt player to ever win the Heisman and drafted second overall by the Cowboys.
