[College Football Hall of Fame @cfbhall]

50 years ago, Tony Dorsett ran into college football history. 🏈🏆

On October 23, 1976, the Pitt legend and College Football Hall of Famer became college football's all-time leading rusher against Navy, securing his place among the game's greatest.

Five decades later, his legacy lives on at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta, where Dorsett's shoulder pads are on display as a tribute to one of college football's most remarkable careers.
Together with @Pitt_FB and @HistoryCenter, we're celebrating a milestone that helped define an unforgettable era of Pittsburgh football.
