Name the most underrated/forgotten Penn State football starter you can think of.
- Thread starter Taycro
- Start date
Bryant Johnson. I feel like people forget he was a first round pick.
Booker Moore, Steve Geise, Walt Addie, Neil Hutton, Gary Hayman, Jimmie Scott, Woody Petchel, Tom Donchez, Terry Rawkosky, Eddie O’Neil, Dan Natale, Randy Sidler
my heroes from my youth and teens
Daryl Clark (a backup to that 5star overrated Morelli)
almost never mentioned in PSU QB discussions maybe being attached to the "spreadHD" has something to do with it

This is exactly what came to my mind as well. He just made it look so damn easy I think everyone thought it WAS easy for him.

Greg Buttle. Stlll a top two or three tackler all-time for PSU. Went on to a great career with Jets.
Ray was another one that could hit like a Mack truck.
Here’s the SI write-up of the Fiesta Bowl.
GUTS, BRAINS AND GLORY
For those of you running late, here's what happened, in brief, at this season's College Football Game of the Century, known hereafter to Miami fans as the

You beat me to it. All Wally did was win.
And can you imagine the fun AK would have had devising a scheme for Rashard Casey?
Shelly Hammonds, a converted safety filling in at running back replacing an injured Gary Brown, rushed for 218 yards and two second-half touchdowns against Boston College. Both teams entered the game 3-2 I think and he saved the day for Penn State. He was a guy who even after that game said he wanted to play defense but did what was best for the team.

Dennis Onkotz - might have been the must productive linebacker to ever play for PSU. Also, a great punt returner.
Years ago I was helping with the college age ministry at church. I came in late on a Sunday morning and there was one seat left. This huge guy took up his seat and half of the one remaining seat. He was polite and tried to make space for me. Lou was there visiting his girlfriend whose family went to my church.
Unlike most positions, Penn State's not had a wealth of All-American DBs and Alan was one of the better ones being named second-team AA.
I was in the White building shooting hoops and was asked if I wanted to play one-on-one. I could shoot outside pretty well (where was the 3-point line when I was around!) but I couldn't stop my opponent. If I guarded him close, he blew by me. I mean blew by me. Incredibly fast first step. When I stayed back, he'd hit a jumper. After he beat me 21 to 12, I heard someone call him, "Hey Skeeter!" Then I knew and quickly looked his bio up. He was an all-state forward in high school.
Justin Kurpeikis. When I'd watch PSU football when he played, my boys would occasionally walk by me and every time they did, I'd tackle them saying, "Justin Kurpeikis with the tackle," which of course made them want to start trying to run by me all game long.

Mike Haynes and Jared Odrick were both underrated although Haynes Did win Big Ten Player of the Year I believe.
Jimmy Kennedy as well

Mike Guman was a very accomplished hoopster.
