Oops...Think u quoted the wrong guy there bud lol

Absolutely....KC is probably the best thing Erickson left Butch....KC Jones. Believe he played on the searcy OLs. He was really good and I’d even throw Romberg in there
Loved CJ....Rocked his Jersey from 93-94...Maurice Crum, Ryan McNeil, CJ Richardson, James Lewis, Leonard Conley
a few
Denzels jump/spin over the entire line of scrimmage to get a clutch TFL against South Carolina will always stick in my mind as a top play.Sean Spence and as crazy as this might seem .. Denzel Perryman. Maaaan what I would do to have a player like either one on the team now.
FN (Football News, which was HUGE back then, had him 1st team) was UMs MVP in 82....and without him we easily lose to Nebraska....Ghosts of the Orange Bowl has a story where he was a 1st team AA....Best LBer on those UM teams....only him and Glenn Dennison were AAs on the 83 team....Good name to raise but just for background, he was 3rd team AA (AP), second team on UPI. Mira Jr. also made 3rd team AA IIRC.
I'm still ****ed till this day, that he was shorted (by atleast half a yd) on the run that would have effectively Won the Penn St game in 99....I never saw Butch that mad...he had to be restrained by the coachs....Ok. I got another one, James Jackson (21). He started at RB of the 2000 squad. He’s never really talked about around here, but he was a workhorse. Great athlete, as he was a 1st Rd draft pick in baseball (outta High School) IIRC, but chose football instead. We always show more love to the guys that came after him.
He may not be talked about around here, but his brother is a CIS legend!Ok. I got another one, James Jackson (21). He started at RB of the 2000 squad.

We somehow forget about him and always show more love to the great backs that came after him. But he’s one of the best “all around” RBs to come through CG. 3rd round pick in 2001.
Facts!!!He may not be talked about around here, but his brother is a CIS legend!
Forgot how good he was. Had to follow in the footsteps of the two best collegiate and NFL safety’s of all time. Could really lay the wood for his sizeBrandon Merriweather he was just all over the field
Wow I can't believe I forgot about that play.Denzels jump/spin over the entire line of scrimmage to get a clutch TFL against South Carolina will always stick in my mind as a top play.
Rell, I am 1,000% a Portis guy. Great call. This is a really tough question. Kevin Beard was not a star per say but maybe under appreciated a little. But he was not a star which makes this a tough question.Looking at these classic games of THE REAL U, had me thinking who don’t we give enough credit to while being an absolute star donning the Orange & Green.
Imo, imma have to go Clinton P. We always seem to talk about McGahee, Gore, Duke, but I don’t think we truly give Portis his just due. Dude was a str8 beast, and was a bell-cow at slight frame. If he stayed in Denver, brody might have put up 12k+ as a NFL back, too.
But what say u ladies & gents; who do u feel was an under appreciated “star” while here? Again, not role players, but star.
Whoa, that is a good one. Great callLeon Searcy
