...under center and Harvard’s pass-first offense working at full speed. But Pizzotti’s efficient 10-for-13, 126-yard debut was spoiled early in the second quarter when he went down with a knee injury. The Crimson then turned to untested sophomore Jeff Witt to direct the attack, and asked Dawson to assume a more prominent role. While Pizzotti attempted 13 passes in slightly more than a quarter, Witt would attempt 13 over the remaining three. Dawson responded to the increased workload with 37 rushing yards and a touchdown on the team?...
...seven-yard run immediately prior to the hit put Harvard in field goal range.And Matt Schindel connected on the 33-yard kick to put the squad on the board at 7-3 with 11:10 left in the second.With Pizzotti out, Murphy called on sophomore quarterback Jeff Witt to line up behind the center. Despite his inexperience—Witt’s first pass attempt on Saturday was the first of his collegiate career—Witt helped Harvard create an insurmountable lead in the second and third quarters.“I felt very comfortable coming into...
...game against a team that’s playing their third game was very challenging.” It certainly didn’t seem that way.

In 1983 he made the mistake of trying to get the county to participate in the national flood-insurance program. "I almost got cremated by farmers. [They were] saying, 'Ain't no way in hell...
...feds want something to change, they have to suggest it--nicely. After the 1993 floods in the Midwest, the Federal Government, under Witt's direction, managed to do something rare: it offered to buy out flood-prone properties to prevent repeat disasters. Several communities accepted, and the government, in partnership with the state, bought back 25,000 properties. The thousands of acres left behind were converted into wetlands, which act like a sponge in storms. In 1995 the floods came again. "And guess what?" says Witt. "We never spent one dime on responding.
