Legendary Penn State running back Blair Thomas adjusted his hat and let out a laugh when asked what it’s like to see his alma mater “back,” while fans lined up around Medlar Field’s concourse last week to grab a photo with fellow legend Ki-Jana Carter.
“Back?” Thomas said. “I don’t think we ever left and had to come back. We always had a winning season throughout (the sanctions), which I don’t think any program around could’ve survived.”
The two backs — ranked fifth and 10th all-time in school rushing yards — are both staples in Happy Valley.
