When talking about the best RBs ever, Larry Johnson is usually an afterthought. He was a one man wrecking crew, particularly later in the season. He eclipsed 2K and had no All BIG O-linemen in front of him. Didn’t show for the bowl game though. Miserable day.
He ran with a mean streak like nobody I’ve ever seen at the college level.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.

One of my alltime faves. Such a smooth athlete.Evan Royster
Leading rusher in PSU history and gets little to no recognition.
Dang, another mistake of mine with numbers. Every damn day.??

Fixed.Ray was another one that could hit like a Mack truck, as Michael Irvin will tell you.
Here’s the SI write-up of the Fiesta Bowl.Ray was another one that could hit like a Mack truck.
You beat me to it. All Wally did was win.Wally Richardson
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.Shelly Hammonds
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.Lou Benfatti
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.Anyone else remember Alan Zemaitis?
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.Skeeter Nichols - loved the name.
