John Cappalletti, Penn State running back. Played them in a bowl game after he won the trophy and made him look like a crippled man in a track meet. Totally emasculated him.

It was an extremely wet, slick field, but Cappalletti did manage to rack up 50 yards under those adverse conditions. LSU's Warren Capone said, “He’s better than anybody we’ve played,” the linebacker conceded following the game. “He’d get hit and still make 3 or 4 or 5 yards.”

That was the 1974 Orange Bowl and Penn State won 16-9. However, I have a license plate that says LSU won that game.
