Bob Kuziel and Ed Sharockman are 2 of the——

Mike Mohring played on some bad JMII teams so he is kind of forgotten. But he ended up playing 5 seasons for the Chargers.
Billy West was a really good college running back who also played on some bad teams. He was ahoy to watch
Big East PoY
It wasn’t 70’s-80s level, but there was enough talent on those teams that they should never have lost to Temple and Rutgers.
Bill Wallace, tore up the nits which was fun to watch. Never seemed to get the recognition he deserved.. Rod Rutherford, underappreciated more than underrated. Big year for him in 2002.
Underrated? One of those is a legend on here. And it isn’t Marino.
Tom Tumulty
terrific player on some horrific teams.

When I think in those terms, Rick Trocano comes to mind. He played QB when needed, played DB when needed. Didn't seem to have any ego issues, just did what was best for the team. And in that era, there were so many other superstars, his versatility and contributions may be overlooked.
Saw Sharockman at Pitt. He was a quarterback better known for his running than passing. Nothing special. Jim Traficant was also a qb at the same time. He did much better in the NFL with the Vikings as a defensive back. Don’t remember if he played there while at Pitt. Fred Cox who was a long time kicker for the Vikings was at Pitt the same time as a running back.
I wouldn't call Rickey Jackson underrated, but he happened to play on the opposite side of one of the GOATs.
Did that happen? Seems the only Temple game I clearly remember from that era was that 53-52 abomination that neither team seemed to want to win (the Owls got up by 3 TDs only to blow it at the end).
Yes. This was not even Schiano era Rutgers. This was when Ron Dickerson was at Temple and Terry Shea was at Rutgers. Pitt lost to both in 1995 and 1998. Also lost to Temple in 1997, Walt’s first year.
GhostofPitt40 for the Applebees win.
Jim Flanagan. All American line backer. on some putrid Pitt teams in mid 60’s first round draft pick of the dynasty Green Bay Packers when Lombardi was still coach.
Charles Gladman.....great RB who got caught up with Pro agents after his Junior year.....
Joe Clermond. Led the Big East in tackles for loss in 2006 and had 10.5 sacks in 2007 (3rd in Big East and 10th nationally).
This is a good one for sure. I know I’d not thought of him in forever.
I think in a few years when this topic arises again, Jared Wayne will get some mentions.
