Only Curt Warner Until Penn State Football

Yesterday we profiled one of the greatest running backs in Penn State history, Saquon Barkley, as part of our march toward kickoff against Wisconsin.

Today, because I am nothing if not a man of the people, we will honor another.

With just 25 days until kick in Camp Randall, today we look back at the career of all-time great Penn State running back Curt Warner.

Warner, a West Virginia native who attended a high school with a graduating class of just 90 students, dazzled in the backfield for the Nittany Lions. A two-time All-American, he helped Penn State to its first ever national title in 1983, defeating the Georgia Bulldogs and current wingnut Herschel Walker in the Sugar Bowl.
