LUCAS was an All-American QB in 1959 when NCAA rules mandated
teams play one-platoon football. He also played defensive back
and led Penn State in interceptions and punting.
I listed him here as a DB in order to list three other
First team A-A QB's.
KUBIN was injured in the third game of his senior season.
He was granted a medical redshirt but opted
not to come back for his fifth year.
ZAPIEC was a starting G on the '68 & '69 undefeated teams.
He was medically redshirted in '70 and then played LB in '71.
EDDIE JOHNSON and ROBINSON both played CB and S.
