Remember that time Syracuse beat Pitt 55-7 in 1996?

That Johnny Majors sequel holds a special place in Pitt football history.
 
I wish I could see video of this. I think it was in the East Carolina 56-0 game when Nunes had what what is still the longest actual time play I've ever seen where he was at one point some 40 (?) yards behind the LOS zigzaging from tacklers until he finally peeled around got an edge and made it up the sideline and OOB netting like 2 yards. I would love to see that play again, other than in my minds eye.

More troy nunes highlights please
 
This is one of my favorite plays in the SU-Pitt rivalry:

As a fan born the year after this play happened, this is incredible. Nunes using his magician-like abilities there.

The retreat into the end zone against Michigan in '99 was longer.
 
Walt Harris would 100% be a meme today.
