What was your first year on State College campus and who was the QB.
Mine was 1963. Pete Liske was the QB and Rip Engle wa coach. Gary Klingensmith was the RB and Ralph Baker was MG on defense

1967. QB was Tom Sherman. Saw Kwalick, Reid, Onkotz, Pittman, and so many more. It was the start of an era. Joe’s second year.

1962. Pete Liske was QB. Roger Kaufman was running back. The great Dave Robinson was TE and DE. Warren Kogel was center (?). Chuck Semienski was an OT. PSU was a great place. We used to walk our Saint Bernard mascot around the track during the game. No one cared. Drank like hell in stands.

1982 Mr Blackledge was qb. Had a decent season

A pair of jacks, both great linebackers and both steelers.

No, beat KS in the Orange Bowl after the 68 season. Beat LSU in Orange Bowl after 73 season and Cappy was sick and out of the Bowl game.

‘62 , loved watching Kaufman run the scissors play! Half pint bottles fit neatly into back pants pockets !

86 was first year on main campus. Not a bad first year. Shaffer. I recall vividly the parade and the speeches on O.M. Lawn when we came back after Christmas break. I had a ton of snapshots and hell if I can find them now. Ain't that the way it goes.

Just noticed on the psu roster that Jack Lambert is a freshman qb. 😬

My typo. 1963 was my freshman year.

 

[psu1969a]

1967-68 - saw the best PSU squads go undefeated in '68 '69. What a wonderful 3 years.

Had many good times in Beam Hall watching TV Quarterbacks with Charlie Pitman and Jim Kates; two wonderful scholar/athletes and among the nicest guys that I have been associated.
