Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 81479, member: 485"] Per Wiki, Ben played C at West Virginia, was captain, and wrestled in the 155 lb weight class. But I expect he played in one platoon football -- must have been a linebacker. I go back pretty far with SU, but Ben's playing days at WVa were in the early 1930s. He was creative with his offense, but all he needed was good blocking for an excellent string of RBs, plus FBs like Czonka and Nance, and the occasional pass to Ernie Davis. Helps to have talent. Oddly, our current DC (Shafer) was a QB during his playing days, so we are loaded with offensive talent in our coaching ranks. Maybe one day it will show. [/QUOTE]
