The nation's top place kicker in 1975, Don Bitterlich set six NCAA records while rewriting the Temple record book. The Warminster, Pa. native (William Tennent HS) set national season marks for field goals made (21), points scored (95), field goals per game (1.9 pg.), career marks for consecutive PATs (87), points scored (220) and points per game (7.1 pg.) At the time, he set the Temple record for longest field goal made (56) and his 53-yarder and 52-yarder ranks second and third on the school's all-time list. His 95 points scored in that memorable senior season stood as the Owls' all-time record for points in a season. He played in the Japan and Hula Bowls and was selected by the Seattle Seahawks in the 1976 NFL Draft.
