I was just asking if you Nit fans feel these are great players or just good players, in the right place at the right time.
36 yds vs. OSU
69 vs. Iowa
65 vs. LSU
I wasn't criticizing him, but you would have given me some support if I was.
If I recall, Clark struggled against teams like OSU and Iowa as well.
Do Nit fans put these guys on the level of Warner and Collins, etc. Because they will be up there stats wise, and they have had good solid carreers.

Royster is an Ok back. Never understood the concern about him leaving after his junior year. I don't think he's irreplaceable nor do I think he is highly coveted by NFL teams. Maybe a good third down back out of the backfield.
IMO, Royster is the type of back that will get you 4 yards when some backs would get 3 yards, but i don't see much else. He's shifty, but Not great speed, not great power, and too much hesitation for my liking.

Heyward is beast. He would be a welcome addition to ANY college football squad and is going to be a first rounder when he moves on.
If Royster runs for over a thousand yards next year then he deserves any records he breaks.

Royster gets a heck of a lot of hidden yardage. IMO he is the best player on the offense, so any time you can get that guy back, it should be welcomed.

Using PSU and Academics in the same thought is a misnomer of the 3rd degree...I'm sure getting that meaningful PSU degree in Golf Course Management or Hotel Sciences the only reason these two clowns are staying. The reality is that they are staying at PSU because they both stink, and they will both be lucky to be drafted before the 4th or 5th round next year, let alone this year.
Believe me, if there was a chance they'd be drafted in the 1st two rounds, they'd be gone quicker than Navorro Bowman through a dime bag of pot.
Actually you are the one that is way to funny WPInheAdL. Hmmm are you drawing from all your football knowledge since you played the game and are far more than an all-American track star? Or did you pick up the towels after games and practices in the locker room?
