This will be a tough poll to run, since you need 5 winners. I'll toss in JJ Knabb's name as well.

Matt Coppage
Could name several, but agree Coppage was very solid at guard and left tackle. One of the strongest players on the team who played hurt and was 1st Team All-MAC his senior season.


Honorable mention to Brian Bertoia (2nd Team All-Mac 1984) who has posted here with us in the past.

That would be a heck of a line...Peters by the way was on the 69 team and was drafted by the Jets.

I'd like to nominate Joe Flading. You just knew he would be so dependable and solid every game.

can't exclude Ken Carmon...multiple all MAC tackle, All-American (at least honorable mention if not more as I remember), OU Hall of Fame member, and a member of the 1968 MAC Championship team.

That's now 2 votes for Carmon if I'm not mistaken.
