Did Joe Paterno cost Franco Harris a shot at the Heisman?

Post by Penn1971 »

A new book by Jim Wexell illustrates the fractious relationship between Paterno and Franco, and it details how the Steelers' Art Rooney Jr. insisted that the team draft Franco in 1972 -- when even Chuck Noll opposed him.

An interesting history.
