LaVar was thee MOST entertaining college player to watchv~ EVER !!!

[@Seveneleven44]

Not one single self respecting college football fan of any team would ever forget this play. Iconic in the annals of football.

[@johnsongoat8131]

Unreal athlete.

[@charleschiselcarfagnochise6483]

SUPERSTAR LAVAR !!!

[@Afrekinmazin]

nicely edited coach! It's insane that one man can jump SO high but he was that much of a freak athlete and player. I could only imagine him and Parsons playing on the same team, QB's would rather kneel every play then to see them blitz lol

[@ForTheBlogy]

That'd be a scary freaking sight haha

[@Seveneleven44]

Don’t forget about Brandon Short, Paul Posluszny , Dan Connor, Navorro Bowman, Sean Lee, Jack Ham, Shane Conlan. I’d argue the Arrington/Short combo over any other combo of PSU backers, no disrespect. Paul P and Dan Connor were a force when they played together, but Arrington and Brandon short were scary.

Lavar was the Very Best LB in the 🌎 a freakin 💪 👽 💪

[@georgeschubert9652]

The forgotten leap is because it would be TARGETING today.

[@joegallagher1842]

Drove from St. Louis and met some friends there. Had a great time and caught a great game.

[@employeestyle]

I really like the FTB videos. These are really good. Keep them coming.

[@ForTheBlogy]

Thanks, will do!

[@mr.fancypants1524]

Julius Peppers at linebacker oh wow oh wow Lavar had some highlights in college. I remember watching this play as it happened and as a Purdue fan my jaw dropped to the floor and I just started laughing. I mean, he looked like Lavar's plan was to smash the holder before he could put the ball down. At the time I thought Dorsch's trajectory was low. The ball looked like it was going to whizz past the long snapper's earhole. Maybe it was just the angle.

[@ForTheBlogy]

Thanks for the comment. Dorsch was great to talk to...awesome sport, awesome guy.

[@RRNokie]

The guy who made me a Penn State fan. So dominant. Great video!

[@Hussaria]

Thanks for the video. Very well done.

[@stevenboyle6506]

Love the videos and the site guys, keep it up!

[@ForTheBlogy]

Appreciate it, Steven! It's back to the regular X's and O's breakdowns next week, but let me know if you like these trip down memory lane videos. We'll make more if there's interest.

[@stevenboyle6506]

@@ForTheBlogy I do like these, I'm craving any Penn State content right now. As a younger generation fan it's cool to see some of these moments I wasn't around for.

[@ForTheBlogy]

@@stevenboyle6506 Next throwback will involve a severed pig head haha. No, not a typo. The Old Heads on this channel might know what we're hinting at.

[@josephvanhorn5347]

It only takes watching one play to realize Lavar Arrington was different.

[@timhoffman4360]

This is not the lavar leap. He jumps over line to tackle rb for leap

[@ForTheBlogy]

That's why it's titled, "The Forgotten LaVar Arrington Leap" lol

[@pkell7315]

That was illinois Lavar the freakin 💪👽💪

[@mrkoolio4475]

Kicker was late with kick and kicked a line drive

[@mrkoolio4475]

This Josh N… College officials have stated that in today’s football ..this play would result in a penalty….. Because by blocking the kick he made the kicker feel bad Ed when he then said, “good try brother” he did not first ask the kicker his pronouns are. And now let’s see RuPaul for the halftime festivities

[@beebop4333]

Trajectory was too low

[@georgeschubert8656]

Arrington ALWAYS lives in the past, even on the radio. Move on.

[@mrkoolio4475]

Clearly offsides…..how could refs miss that?

[@mrglamorama]

Looking for a highlight, found an almost 7-minute video instead. Like a bunch of people said, “Oh, man, remember when Lavar made that amazing play? Let’s hear from everyone involved instead of just seeing it.” What kind of gay bullshit is this?
