hint: 3rd ( non-super bowl) member of the backfield was all-pro caliber running back....

They should have kept Pasquoloni (sp?).
Recruiting in that neck of the woods is slim pickins. The campus is nice, but the city is horrible. Times are tough for 'cuse, and this year, they won't get a top name coach, not with jobs at Washington, Tennessee and Clemson open. They should consider Turner Gill who is coaching at nearby Buffalo.
