#5 Jersey

[Chairman Moe]

Help this old guy remember if there was ever a Pitt QB (or significant offense player) who wore #5?

Thanks, and H2P

Not a QB, but Jarod Wayne. He threw some TDs as well.

Doh! How soon I forget ... Wayne, yes. But I was trying to go even further back in Pitt history, and no number 5 came to mind.

Can’t remember anyone back in the day. Only one I can think of is Cam Saddler.

Not a Pitt player, but a QB who also wore #5 was Blake Bortles, who Jurokvec reminds me of. They both have reminded me of Big Ben at one point or another.

Going way back, but didn’t Tom Flynn wear 5?

He did. I thought of him too but the OP said offense.

Yes; quite a few notable Pitt defensive players wore #5, but on offense, not so many (that I could think of)

i used to play this game with my uncles and brother in laws when i was like 20....
say a number or a player, you have to name the college or team ...its a fun drinking game.

Eric Kasperowicz who was a QB in high school but I believe played safety or LB at Pitt.

Riddick ended up playing defense, but in his freshman season, he was the backfield mate to Ironhead
