Kriewaldt Helps
Steelers to Super Bowl Title
From the very first play of Super
Bowl XL until the end, Sunday was a memorable day for former Clint Kriewaldt.
The former Pointer standout made the game�s first tackle on the opening
kickoff and then walked off the field as a world champion as a member of the
Pittsburgh Steelers.
 Kriewaldt
sprinted untouched down the field for a solo tackle of Seattle�s Josh Scobey
at the Seahawks� 18-yard line on the opening kickoff. He added an assisted
tackle later in the first quarter on a Seattle punt return. A reserve
linebacker, Kriewaldt took part on all of the Steelers� special teams plays
in Sunday�s 21-10 victory.
It is the second straight
year a former Pointer has won a major pro football title after quarterback
Scott Krause was a member of the 2004 Toronto Argonauts� Canadian Football
League Grey Cup squad.
Kriewaldt played for the Pointers
from 1995-98 and is the school�s all-time leading tackler with 416 during
his career. |
