NEW ORLEANS (AP) - New Orleans fans dressed up for the world's

verified that at least 17,777 fans attending Sunday night's game
between the Saints and the Pittsburgh Steelers came in costume,
setting a record for the largest gathering of Halloween revelers.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) - Matt McGloin's name should be familiar
now to Penn State fans after throwing for 250 yards and a score in
the 41-31 win Saturday night over the porous Michigan Wolverines.
It was an incredible debut for the first former walk-on to start at
quarterback in coach Joe Paterno's 45-year tenure with the Nittany
Lions.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) - Penn State's game against Northwestern

after beating Indiana last weekend.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Ashton Gibbs scored 25 points and Number 5
Pittsburgh began the game with a 23-point run while beating
Northwood 104-62 in exhibition play yesterday. Brad Wanamaker
scored 18 points and freshman J.J. Moore had 17 for the Panthers,
who didn't allow Northwood to score for the first 8:27. Pitt led
46-28 at the half.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Duquesne senior forward Damian Saunders will
sit out the November 13th season opener against Division II
Bluefield State because of an unspecified violation of team rules.
The 6-foot-7 Saunders, the Dukes' leading returning scorer and
rebounder, was held out of an exhibition game Saturday against La
Roche and will not play in an exhibition against Lycoming next
week.
