Penn State finest offensive and defensive player of the ‘80s

[john4psu]

In thinking about which offensive and defensive player was the best at Penn State for the current and each of the previous five decades, rather than group them as one long jumbled thread, I thought I post them individually. Should you base it on one superlative season or their college career? So who is your choice as Penn State’s best offensive and defensive player during the ‘80s?

O: I’m going to go with Curt Warner, perhaps Penn State’s finest running back ever.

D: Shane Conlan, two-time All American linebacker. The rock on defense of the great ’85 and ’86 teams.

Is he related to Shane?

Warner over Thomas by a hair.

It's Thursday snd not much discussion of this Saturday's opponent.

It must be Rutgers week.

You read my mind that's why I didn't wait to post till after the regular season.

Agree with both picks.
