I not only remember Gordie Lockbaum, but saw him play for Holy Cross against Yale. Before him, the Crusaders (that nickname needs to go) had a guy named Gil "the thrill" Fenerty - who was an LSU transfer. It's funny (or sad) that this article features SI covers, because that once revered publication has fallen into the abyss. With the transfer portal, any FCS player that puts up big numbers as a freshman and / or as a sophomore, will probably be at an FBS school the following season. Think about Joe Flacco and his career at Delaware. If college football in its present state existed then, the Blue Hens may have only been a pit stop.
