The trivia question that said Pitt only had 6 1000-yard rushers is obviously wrong. Here's how wrong.

They gave the Panthers credit for 6:
Tony Dorsett
Curvin Richards
LeSean McCoy
Dion Lewis
James Conner
Qadree Ollison

We've had 8 others:
Elliott Walker, 1977, 1025 yds
Bryan Thomas, 1981, 1132 yds
Charles Gladman, 1985, 1085 yds
Craig Heyward, 1987, 1791 yds
Curtis Martin, 1993, 1075 yds
Billy West, 1994, 1358 yds
Kevan Barlow, 2000, 1053 yds
Ray Graham, 2012, 1042 yds

This got me wondering how they could screw this up this much. My only idea is that the 5 guys they listed who are already gone all had 2+ 1000 seasons (and are the only Pitt players to have 2+) so maybe someone found that list & simply threw Ollison onto it without thinking.
 
I was thinking it had to be wrong. I easily came up with 10 when they asked.
