Have a friend that wrestled for them in the early 80's, and was told steroids were rampant on those football teams. It definitely wasn't a secret to anyone involved with athletics there
FC/OT: Nebraska unveils Osborne Legacy Complex…
- Thread starter Midnighter
- Start date
Lasch looked spotless when I was there a few years before you. I imagine it doesn't take 100 players + staff very long to wear out the carpet. I'm not sure about paint chipping but it probably needs regular touchups.
I thought the pollsters moved PSU down after they only beat Indiana 35-29. IIRC Indy scored 16 late points against PSU reserves.
Yeah. "Here, go get your Grandma to pee in this cup."At nebby?
There were 2 polls. One dropped Penn State after beating a ranked Ohio State 63-14. The other poll dropped the Lions after the Indiana win.
I'm aware. The PSU offense was absolutely stellar in 94. The defense was average. There is no way to know for sure who would have won, but the game should have been played.
There is a "Drag the b**** by the hair down the stairway" exhibit. It's just an old mannequin though.
Penn State would have won that game. As good as Nebraska’s defense, Penn State was going to score. And I don’t ever recall a team having any success running the option against a Sandusky defense.
I would have picked PSU to win. That's not the same thing as knowing who would have won.
Please remember the $500 million+ in interest.Debt? Last I heard, we were up to $55 MM in donations towards the magic number of $700 MM.
Switzer had a whole team of violent thugs, though the most noteworthy was QB Charles Thompson who got caught dealing blow to a federal agent.
That might be the one time I recall seeing anybody have it work against a Sandusky defense.
You're right. However, Hollieway amassed a grand total one ONE yard rushing on 12 carries. I doubt his rushing was a reason for the success of the Wishbone that night.
Carr managed 87 yards on 18 carries until that final 4th quarter run of 61 yards folowing a missed PSU FG. The deflated defense knbew at that point that at 19-10, there would be no comeback. Then Carr broke free for the long TD run.
Furthermore, Carr's long run was the only rushing TD for the Sooners. The 71-yard TD pass to the TE (after the starting DB was injured) was OU's sole touchdown while the game was in doubt.
I actually don't credit Sandusky as much as I do Joe Paterno for Penn State's ability to defend the Wishbone. The Lions shut out the #1 rushing team in the country (at the time) in 1969, West Va. Then came the destruction of the Texas vaunted Wishbone in 1971.
Even the OU Wishbone struggled to dominaye the Lion defense in 1972 despite Penn State having basically no offense with John Cappelletti out with an illness in that game. The whole offense was on John Hufnagel with only Walt Addie as a viable run threat. OU, in a harbinger of 1985, used passes to Tinker Owens to score on that 1972 Lion defense.
