Former Heisman Trophy winner and Pitt alum Tony Dorsett will join Navy alum Roger Staubach,… Former Heisman Trophy winner and Pitt alum Tony Dorsett will join Navy alum Roger Staubach, who also won the Heisman, to serve as honorary co-captains for their alma maters Wednesday night at Heinz Field when Pitt hosts Navy at 8 p.m.
Pitt will also honor recently retired Jets running back and former Pitt star Curtis Martin at halftime.
The game will be nationally televised on ESPN, with play-by-play announcer Rece Davis and color analysts Lou Holtz and former Pitt defensive lineman Mark May.
Dorsett played with Staubach in Dallas from 1977 to 1979 before Staubach ended his Hall of Fame career.
Dorsett set the former NCAA career rushing record of 6,082 yards on a 32-yard run against Navy in 1976. Pitt trumped the Midshipmen, 45-0, en route to a 12-0 finish and a national title.
Dorsett won the Heisman that same season, while Staubach won his in 1963.
Martin is fourth on the NFL career rushing list.
