league football team. During his first two years at Hopewell High School, Dorseu gained notoriety for streaking from nowhere to make tackles as an outside linebacker. It was because of that exceptional speed that Dorseu was shift– ed to the backfield as a junior, when he led Hopewell to the Midwestern Athletic Conference Championship. The following season, Dorsell rushed for 1,238 yards and 23 TDs, drawing the attention of many major colleges, including locals Pill and Penn State. When it came to decision time, Dorseu chose the Panthers over the Nittany Lions because he wanted to stay close to home, and he wanted to play. Although the Panthers had sufferred nine losi~g seasons the previous IO years and went 1- 10 in '72, Majors was confident Dorseu (then pronounced "DOR-sett") could help turn things around. "I told my mom I was ready to quit and she told me that the person I'd hurt the most if I did that would be myself. So I stuck it out." He sure did. Dorsett that first season led the Panthers to a 6-5-1 mark by rushing for 1,586 yards-breaking the old freshman record. In his first game against Notre Dame, Dorsett ran for 209 yards, the most ever allowed by a Fighting Irish defense in one game. After breaking Pitt's all-time school rushing record as a sopho– more. Dorse11 really exploded in his third year when Majors switched to the triple-option veer. The team and individual highlight during that 8-4 season in '75 was a 34-20 victory over otre Dame in which Dorsen exploited the Irish for 303 rushing yards. A year later, the Panthers and Dorsen were unwelcomed guests to South Bend. Not only did Pin win that '76 encounter. but Dorsen improved his rushing total agai nst otre Dame to 754 yards, the most yards anained by one player against the Irish. When asked to look back at his senior year. the game Dorsen recalls most fondly was the regular-season finale: a 24-7 triumph over intra-state nemesis Penn State. Dorsen's 224-yard, two-touchdown performance against the Niuany Lions enabled him to become the first 6,000-yard rusher in NCAA history, and the all-time leading scorer (356 points), surpassing the 354 by Army's Glenn Davis from I943-46. (Both of Dorsen's records have since been broken) It certainly was no surprise, when Dorsett was awarded the Heisman. But during the Heisman Trophy presentation T.D. announced he wanted his name pronounced "Dor-SETT". More important for Dorsen and his teammates, Pin was 11-0 and headed for a New Year's Sugar Bowl date with Georgia for the national title-which they secured with a 27-3 victory thanks largely to Tony's Sugar Bowl record 202 yards! He turned pro, and became a star of the '80s for the Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos. The Dorsen legacy is continuing at Pinsburgh, where son Anthony is a redshirt freshman defensive back. Only a fool would expect son to imitate father. •• • The star running back, though, wasn't so sure. "My grades were kind of awful that first semester.
