www.BLUEANDGOLD.com FEBRUARY 2018 45 tackle, Kurth is one of three players under Knute Rockne to make the unanimous list, and he started as a sophomore on the coach's last team — the 1930 national champs. Lombardi Award winner Taylor is the other tackle, with Beinor as the top reserve on the unit. Defensive Line: 1969 Mike McCoy (Erie, Pa.), 1971 Walt Patulski (Liverpool, N.Y.), 1972 Greg Marx (Redford, Mich.), 1975 Steve Niehaus (Cincinnati), 1976-77 Ross Browner (Warren, Ohio) and 1990 Chris Zorich (Chicago) Under assistant coach Joe Yonto from 1964‑80, Notre Dame was "Defensive Line U.," and on this unanimous All‑America list five of the six came under his tutelage, with Zorich the exception. Yet even linebacker recruit Zorich was shifted to nose tackle as a freshman, which happened to be Yonto's last season of on‑field coaching (1987). This rotation would start Browner and Patulski at end. Browner's 77 career tackles for loss is un‑ breakable, with no one else at 45. Patulski is the most recent Irish player taken No. 1 overall in the NFL Draft. In the interior, Zorich already has joined Browner in the College Football Hall of Fame, and McCoy was the No. 2 overall pick after finishing sixth in the Heisman as a senior. Off the bench would be Marx and Niehaus, and the latter also was the No. 2 overall pick in the 1976 NFL Draft. Linebackers: 1966 Jim Lynch (Lima, Ohio), 1978 Bob Golic (Willowick, Ohio), 1990 Michael Stonebreaker (River Ridge, La.) and 2012 Manti Te'o (Laie, Hawai'i) Other than Stonebreaker, everyone was more of a "Mike" figure, with Golic even lining up at nose guard on occasion. Like Arrington, Golic also was an All‑American wrestler. Lynch is in the College Football Hall of Fame, and all but Te'o starred for national champs, although the Hawaiian did spearhead a 12‑0 regular season his senior year that saw the Irish ranked No. 1 entering the BCS National Championship Game versus Alabama. Defensive Backs: 1929-30 Frank Carideo (Vernon, N.Y.), 1952-53 John Lattner (Chicago), 1989-90 Todd Lyght (Flint, Mich.) and 2002 Shane Walton (San Diego) Three of the five Notre Dame players in history who were two‑time unanimous All‑Americans — Carideo, Lattner and Lyght — are aligned in our defensive backfield. They join quarterback Lujack — who also was a sensational defender — and defensive end Browner as repeat performers. Carideo and Lattner were listed as a quarterback and halfback, respectively, but with only two pure defensive backs among the unanimous choices, we can move the two‑way stars to safety. Carideo was not even a passer (listed with three attempts for the 1930 national champs), but helped lead two national title runs under Rockne. Lattner was not even the leading rusher on his own unbeaten team as a senior when he won the Heis‑ man, but was a stalwart on defense with 13 career interceptions, and also excelled on special teams as a return man, punter and kicker. The corners are current Irish cornerbacks coach Lyght and Walton. Lyght was a headline performer while helping Notre Dame to a school‑record 23‑ game winning streak, and Walton was a linchpin who led a 10‑1 start his final season. ✦ M A R K E T P L A C E Call 877-630-8768 to advertise in BGI!
