Penn State football history question.

In spite of these players, Engle was worried about the game with Navy. To Engle no sky is completely blue, no rose without its thorn. What bothered him was that he didn’t have a quarterback, someone to replace last year’s star, Galen Hall. Technically he had three quarterbacks, but none with enough experience. “It’s like going into the World Series with a rookie pitcher,” said Joe Paterno, the backfield coach. Engle agreed. “We won’t know anything until we see how our quarterbacks act,” he said. Saturday they acted. Pete Liske, Don Caum and Ron Coates completed 16 of 24 throws for 234 yards. Passing, as much as running, was responsible for the lopsided score.

The more things change, the more they remain the same.

the largest man ever was 6-5, 255.

But LJSR is the tits when it comes to recruiting, so I’m willing to bet his word is gold. Although McQuery is the name being attached to the Coxson rumors, so he has to have some pull.

Love your family connection. Thanks for sharing that info here.

I also sent the blog to Charlie, and this is what he replied. JtotheP, just sharin’ the love!

Back in our playing days, yes, we played both ways throughout the game. As a matter of fact, when you scored or were scored upon, you stayed on the field for the ensuing kickoff. To answer your question about the "titles" for coaches, there were no coordinators. Each coach was a position coach. Here is what I remember: Basically Joe was the quarterback coach and he worked with the offensive backfield. Jim O’Hora was the line coach, mainly working with the offensive and defensive tackles. J.T. White coached the offensive and defensive ends. Sever Toretta coached the linebackers, offensive guards, and the centers. Frank Patrick coached the defensive backs, punters, and kickers. When we played it was illegal to call plays from the sidelines. On offense the QB called all of the plays on offense, and a linebacker called all of the defenses and the variations. These people were groomed during the week as to what should be called based on the down and yardage and the balls position on the field. I do know that Joe was up in the press box during games and he would relay information down to the coaches and/or players on the sideline. We had one other coach, Earl Bruce, and he was the head coach of the freshmen team. At that time freshmen were inelligible to be on the varsity team. I hope this clarifies this matter for you.

I have faith in your old ass. Get on it!
