Just need someone to plug them in.  Hoage was nominated earlier.  There's also Lott or Easley.  

But I like our all-decade team to not necessarily be a existent, consensus-type thing.  Some alternative, worthy players + some homerism.

It's great.

I know Bo Schembechler got a lot of grief for never winning it all, but as a program, Pitt is the #1 "how did you never win a NC" in the country, by far. 
You mean besides the NC Pitt won in 1976?  With Tony Dorsett at RB and Johny Major as the coach?

I guess they "should have" won more than that one, which was from out of left field.  Thanks for the correction.

They went 33-3 from 79-81 and didn't win a NC.  Their all-time individual players would suggest more than one NC.

Alright, fine. You made me add Tim Brown. And to even that out, I would have added an SC guy at Safety, but OAM beat me to the punch.
I thought about Ronnie Lott, but ruled him out because half of is time with SC was in the 70s.
Looks like we still need a guard and a kicker.

Looking at the annual AA teams and award winners....you could make 3-4 REALLY good teams from the 80s.  
Based on not knowing if other decades seem similar at all, I'd say it has good depth, lol.

I've now seen 2 separate videos calling him "Michael Irving" - both of ESPN.

I'm worried that'll be his name 50 years from now, officially.

And Mark Carrier was a DUDE, for sure. 
Hoage had a 12-INT season, tho.

One guy who NEVER gets mentioned is a DT from USC - Tim Ryan.  Dude had 20 sacks one year.  But no one seems to care.
