He probably would have been a 4k guy at the school if not for the injury. I remember there being a point in time when we didn't think he'd come back from the injury at all.
I got hit with that blizzard too. Made it as far as Route 287 in Jersey before I finally gave up, turned around and went home. Watched the game from home instead of the Dome and watched Walter go off!
Holy sheeet ! david walker was mungro before mungro 5 foot 9 with thighs the size of my waist - he was a great running back , prototypical SU RB back then . I played pick up hoops against him , he was hard to keep in front of you !
Totally agree. He was the best back I have seen at SU since the mid-70’s, he’s our all time rushing leader and yet Joe still seems like an after thought. When he went to the pros he initially sat on the bench because Butch Woolfork was ahead him. Joe’s talent jumped out of the stadium when you watched him run. He was fast and small but powerful because he was “thickly built.” This guy should be on the Ring of Honor.
Not underrated. Not underrated as a collegiate wrestler either.
It’s kind of ridiculous that his name didn’t come up ( from me as well being a giants fan and SU fan. he was before my time as an SU fan. But could only imagine how great he was in college ! Call of the night !!
Morris was so strong, he was built like a triangle. When he changed direction he seemed to just tip his shoulders and go.
I think his name doesn’t come up because all of us old guys don’t consider him underrated - his is one of the standards. Just not a #44. And to the younger fans, they don’t know him because he wasn’t a #44. Which was a shame.
schrader and tucker are the new era hurley and morris.
Malcolm Thomas was very good, I forgot about him - unfortunately was stuck on a crowded backfield depth chart most of his career.
Ran hard and tough and was shifty. I loved that ‘96 team.
That team is such a tragedy. Never should have lost to Minnesota or Miami. We should have been in the Orange Bowl playing Nebraska.
He always seemed to fumble at the most in opportune times
Yup. After they got it together and destroyed everybody for 2 months after the 0-2 start, I was positive they would handle Miami. Was anticipating that game for weeks. Tough breaks.
