Steve Rogers, who shared time with Davis

Jim Benglis, who opened holes for Art Cantrelle

(Little) Jimmy Ledoux, whom Mac actually made run out of a full-house backfield

And, for the name alone, Gawain DiBetta

And also my brother, who was a walk-on LB in the early '80's and only played a few downs but had to hit Dalton Hilliard every day in practice...


Name?

Richard Picou - mid to late 60's. Wasn't big but he could run & hit. Saw him knock Bama's "Italian Stallion" Johnny Musso out cold in Tiger Stadium. He was overshadowed by Mike Anderson and others but was a player.

"Paul Lyons"...good one

Took da stinking Badgers to the woodshed in '71 when Bert wasn't clicking. Largest crowd to ever see a sporting event in the state of wish-kan-sin at that time.

I remember Mealey's senior season.

1st down-Mealey

2nd down-Mealey

3rd and short-Mealey

3rd and long- 7 step drop/sack

Don't know how many times I said to my gf at the time 'Do we have a screen pass in the playbook!?'

Rusty Hill (hope I'm getting his name right, after all this is for "unsung" players) - ST phenom in late 70's; wore #35.

Marcus Quinn - SS in '80; preserved win vs AU with an int.

Brian Kinchen - TE in mid-80's.

Todd McClure - C alongside Faneca and played a bunch of years in the NFL with the Falcons

Alan Risher - QB from '80-'82

I like the special teams guys that play with reckless abandon.....Ryan O'Neal played from 1999 to 2002. Great tackler and made returners pay dearly.
