I saw David Jones in the Patriot News today posted an all time PSU position team. Which got me thinking, who would win an All Time Pitt vs All Time Penn State team. I am posting it here because obviously want PSU fans input too. But this would be one helluva game. I am not sure totally who would be on the teams but definitely guesses on my part. I do know this, I personally think Pitt has the better all time team. It is obviously close. But let me put my rosters out there.
QB. Pitt Dan Marino/Matt Cavanaugh
PSU: Kerry Collins/Todd Blackledge
Advantage Pitt. By a wide margin. Dan Marino is considered one of the greatest QB's of all time.
RB: Pitt: Tony Dorsett/Curtis Martin/Lesean McCoy/Ironhead Heywood
PSU: Curt Warner/Saiquon Barkley/Franco Harris/Kijana Carter
An embarrassment of riches on both sides. There are guys not on this list who would be "all timers" for other schools like Dion Lewis, Lydell Mitchell, Curvin Richards, John Cappeletti, Marshall Goldburg, Lenny Moore. etc...
Advantage. Wow. Maybe a slight edge to Pitt. Two NFL Hall of Famers vs one. But Nitters, you can argue a draw here and I couldn't argue.
WR: Pitt: Larry Fitzgerald/Antonio Bryant/Jon Baldwin/Gordon Jones/Eric Crabtree
PSU: Kenny Jackson/Bryant Johnson/ExCon McDuffie/Bobby Engram/Allen Robinson
Advantage? Pitt. What I see in alot of this, if you go top 4 or top 5 Pitt has an advantage but top 10 PSU has advantage. Pitt has more high end talent, PSU more depth of talent.
TE: Pitt: Ditka. (all you need to say) Jim Corbett/Joe Walton
PSU: Ted Kwalick/Kyle Brady/Mickey Shuler
Advantage? Ditka. But PSU's threesome here are pretty good. Maybe draw. But Ditka. Come on.
OL: Starting Pitt Fralic OT/MayOG/Stepnoski C/ Rueben Brown OG/ Jimbo Covert OT. Backups: Otah/Brzoza/Dixon/Dorian Johnson
Starting PSU: Dorney OT/MunchakOG/WisniewskiC/FarrellOG/Need some help here Nitters. Backups. AQ Shipley/Glenn Ressler/Help???
Advantage: Pitt.
Will get into defense into the next post. Again, Pitt seems to have the higher end starters, but PSU has the greater depth (except at OL).
