Joey. “ toast” Porter

Archie Griffin was not close to the player Tony Dorsett was and we all knew it, yet Griffin won that dang 2nd Heisman in Dorsett's jr. year , it still ticks me off.....

imagine being a Heisman winner and your coach still gives all the goal line carries to someone else.

Wasn't that somewhat the norm for supposed "legendary" coaches of the time like Woody Hayes and Joe Knew? Black superstar running back gets you to the goal line then you pull him for a white guy to punch it in.

Pete Johnson wasn't white.

Gotcha, maybe the was just a Paterno and Southern coach thing.

In the case of Archie Griffin, Pete Johnson came in and rushed for 24 TDs that year, he was black, then the next year he ran for 18, still black that year too.

I think you're thinking of Bud Kilmer

Lydell Mitchel scored 26 TD's as PSU tailback in 1971 with Franco Harris as full back. The next year that FB was white guy Tom Donchez......

yeah, peterson looks slow and old, cant keep up with WRs and even the ravens TE.. They obviously had faith in Porter to draft him high, time to sink or swim with him.

He's still better than Wallace.

None of Jon Williams, Steve Smith, or Tim Manoa were white.

Maybe you just made something up and when taken to task on half of it, decided to double down on the other part?

Which year you thinking of? Because in '69 Penn State's backfield was All-American Charlie Pittman, Lydell Mitchell and Franco Harris. Texas was the last all-white national champion that year.

Try again. '72 was John Cappelletti's junior year.

Sounds like he has, and Tomlin refuses to admit it.

Clearly, you're not a Steelers fan, or you'd want their rookie 2nd round pick to succeed.
