You forgot two more 4-year starters from that class - Randy Crouch and Larry Griffin.
They have to be getting OLD by now.
Bagley was one of the best nose guards I've ever seen. Springmeyer was no slouch either. I would take that class again.
Bagley was a walk-on, paid his dues, and willed himself a starting spot. That's a really hard thing to do.
Arkie State had one of the best wishbones I've ever seen when they went undefeated in 77 or 78. They could routinely pick up a third and 15 out of the bone. That is the big failure of most bone attacks. Bags had 20 something tackles against them. Best game I've ever seen from a NG.
