7c ST. PETERSBURG TIMES SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 14. 1980 Nine turnovers, but Pitt wins Cdmpilad rom AP, UPI wires EAST PITTSBURGH Tight end Benjie Pryor caught a pair of eight-yard touchdown passes from Dan Marino, enabling third-ranked Pitta-burgh to survive nine turnovers and defeat Boston College 14-6 Saturday in the season opener for both teams. The heavily favored Panthers turned the ball over four times in the first 23 minutes before Marino, a sophomore quarterback who already ranks eighth on Pitt's all-time passing list, directed an eight-play, 60-yard drive. Marino completed all four pass attempts on the march for 45 yards.

He started it with a 14-yard toss to Pryor, hit Artrell Hawkins for nine and Pryor for 14 more before the 6-foot-3, 225-pound senior tight end hauled in a scoring pass over defensive back Jerry Stabile with 2:10 left in the first half. Pitt's only other sustained drive a 15-play, 70-yard thrust ate up some seven minutes of the third period, with Pryor, who grabbed 10 passes for 110 yards, snaring another eight-yarder from Marino at 13:44. Boston College recovered four Pitt fumbles and intercepted five passes. Three of the turnovers came in Pitt territory, but the Eagles' only score came on a 35-yard bomb from John Loughery to Jon Schoen at 3:30 of the third period on the first play after Stabile recovered a fumble by Randy McMillan. That made it 8-6, but Loughery overthrew Tim Sherwin on a two-point conversion try.

Pitt had used a trick play to score two points after its initial touchdown. With plarekicker Dave Trout and holder Dan Daniels lined up in kicking position, the rest of the Panthers milled around to the left of center Russ Grimm. Suddenly, Grimm scooped the ball laterally to Ricky Jackson, a defensive end who blocks on conversion attempts, and he ran it in.
