Gino Cappelleti for Penn State, played against LSU in the Orange Bowl following the 1973 season - not impressed - we shut him down and Brad Davis outrushed him that game.

Probably one of the weaker Heisman picks of my lifetime.

John Cappelletti averaged 5.32 yards per carry in an era where it was the run trap game.

He was basically taking a dive run on every play...and the defense knew what was coming.

His QB threw for 13 TDs and 5 Ints for the season.

And Penn State beat LSU n the Orange Bowl. So tell that to Joey.
