I meant to post this last Friday and forgot and expected that someone else would.
If this is a repeat thread, I apologize but I couldn't find another.

And he also had a part in the movie "The Devils Brigade" ;)

Multi-talented.

Paul Hornung was a strange case, he won a Heisman on a losing team and sucky stats, so...? He wasn't all that on those Packer teams , the fullback Jim Taylor the stud, so,....???

He really put his foot in it when he was asked about why Notre Dame (his school)couldn't hang with the SEC powerhouses, he said something like....."we can't recruit speed because of how hard it is to make the academics at the school".......yep. ouch!!!!!
