    Oddly enough, I am a U B fan and a Steeler fan. I had no idea where Walt had went off to. Too many injuries on both squads to make this a better game, even though it was close. I don't think you can blame Harris for starting the 3rd string QB. Bulls are in for a tough year without Starks. Good luck Akron and plutaris, and lets knock off someone the division.

    The offensive magic of OC Walt Harris has not translated to points for the Zips. Nor did it when he was HC at Stanford. Perhaps he only had magic in that place called 'Someplace Special'.....Pittsburgh.
