SPORTS WIZ TRIVIA
SEPTEMBER '07

For September we usually go with a review of the previous Steelers season as we get ready for the new campaign. We'll do a little of that here, but we'll also look ahead a bit. Can you identify each of the following, whose names we'll be hearing a lot in the coming months? The first three are on the coaching staff. The rest are players.

1. You wouldn't know by looking at him but he will be 70 years old on September 9.

2. Twenty years after retiring as a player he still holds club records for completions, passing yards and TD passes for his former team.

3. He was a college teammate of current Viking Pro Bowl safety Darren Sharper.

4. He caught an 87 yard pass from Charlie Batch in the '06 season opener for the longest TD score at Heinz Field.

5. He owns the third highest single season rushing yards total in team history.

6. He started all but two regular season games as well as all 10 in the post-season since joining the team in 1998.

7. He tied the departed Joey Porter with 61/2 sacks to lead the team last year.

8. He was the only Steeler other than Batch and Roethlisberger to attempt a pass last season.
