Sam Gash, Tony Sacca, Richie Anderson, Terry Smith, OJ McDuffie, Kyle Brady......

Would you bet/take that starting lineup for your skill sets vs any college football team playing right now.

That was PSU's lineup for the '92 Fiesta Bowl. YouTube suggested I watch that.

No

That group is still potentially the 3rd best in the Big Ten East today.

I would take my chances with those guys as the core skill position group. Anderson, Gash, OJ and Brady had long NFL careers and I believe all were pro bowl players at one point or another. As good as OSU and UM are, not sure they have 4 skill position players who will be pro bowl guys. And Terry and Sacca were really good college players.

FWIW, Gash made two Pro Bowls as a FB, Anderson made one as a FB, and Brady/OJ were never named to a Pro Bowl.

No they’re all in their mid 50s

That team finished number 3. Damn good team. I remember the kickoff classic at the meadowlands. That was a fun time. That Miami game was tough to swallow.

Who are my linemen?

Good information Erial and that surprises me. Brady played about a dozen years in the NFL and OJ played eight; I thought they both would have made a pro bowl. Looked up OJs stats; he had a 4 year run where he caught 62, 74, 76 and 90 passes. One more guy who was not mentioned in the OP is Troy Drayton, who also had a long NFL career.

Depends who the head coach is....i hope you assume JoePa as the coach.....that would give them a better chance.

OSU not ranked in the top 25 and UM was 6 in the polls at the end of the year. PSU was ranked ahead of a 11-1 Bama team.

I’m saying if you matched them up against this year’s skill players from those schools.

What if the 300 had had air cover at Thermopylae?

McDuffie may be the most under-appreciated PSU player of my lifetime.
