Just an interesting time-waster that I picked up from the FSU site. They listed a number of Seminoles during their 'down period' in the last decade and asked if they would start today. Thought I would comb through the 'Dark Years' rosters and see who could be a starter at Penn State today. I did not count a few of the first round picks from the 2002 season (LJ, Bryant Johnson, Jimmy Kennedy, Michael Haynes) and some of the more prominent players (Levi Brown, Tamba) because they would be too easy.
Just a fun little exercise, give it a look if you have a second. At the very least, it will have you thinking football. If you want to add or substitute someone, be my guest. Believe it or not I had a tougher time finding wide receivers than fullbacks or tight ends.
A simple yes or no beside the players name would suffice.
QB - Zack Mills
RB - Eric McCoo
FB - Sean McHugh
WR - Tony Johnson
WR - Gerald Smith
WR - Maurice Humphrey
TE - John Gilmore
OT - Gus Felder
OT - Chris McKelvy
OG - Charles Rush
OG - Tyler Reed
C - Joe IorioDE - Lavon Chisley
DT - Anthony Adams
DT - Ed Johnson
DE - Bob Jones
OLB - Derek Wake (college version)
MLB - Shamar Finney
MLB - Gino Capone
OLB - Deryck Toles
CB - Alan Zemaitis
CB - Bryan Scott
Saf. - Yaacov Yisrael
Saf. - Shawn MayerK - Robbie Gould

WR - Tony Johnson Maybe - depends on the year
WR - Gerald Smith No
WR - Maurice Humphrey Wouldn't be on the team
TE - John Gilmore No
OT - Gus Felder No
OT - Chris McKelvy No
OG - Charles Rush No
OG - Tyler Reed No
C - Joe Iorio No(oline is definitely system difference)
DE - Lavon Chisley No
DT - Anthony Adams Yes him and Hill would be above average together
DT - Ed Johnson maybe - rotate with other players

OLB - Derek Wake (college version) Yes at DE...JMO, he played out of position at PSU
MLB - Shamar Finney No

CB - Alan Zemaitis yes, but might be better suited for FS

Robbie Gould (the college version)....hell NO...I had to turn my back every time he kicked....This is the same guy that Iowa trusted not to make a field goal so they took a safety only up by 4 with a good amount of time on the clock....then he turns into the best kicker in the NFL?????
Kimball - Yes as a kickoff specialist
