Update 11/27/2012: The University of Pittsburgh's 30-week NFL touchdown streak came to an end when Dion Lewis did not score Monday night. Pitt's best chance at a touchdown this week failed when Eli Manning overthrew a wide-open Henry Hynoski at the 1.

*Counting Cam Newton for Florida. Without Newton, 11.
|
*The basic criteria for "alumni" used here is "Did the player in question appear in any games for the specific school?" Pitt doesn't list Joe Flacco as a letterwinner and pro-football-reference only lists him under Delaware, but we know through official NCAA statistics, play-by-play, and contemporary media accounts that Flacco played in games that counted at Pitt.
Players who never appeared in a game like Randy Moss, redshirted for his freshman season at Florida State then kicked off the team, or Lee Smith, dismissed from Tennessee for a DUI before his freshman year, are not counted towards those schools' streaks as long as they played elsewhere. Nor are players like Whizzer White (law degree from Yale) or Shaquille O'Neal (doctorate from Barry University) who attended other schools for post-eligibility education counted towards those schools' streaks.
Players like Antonio Gates who didn't play football in college are counted for the schools that they attended while undergraduates. |
