Not the guy. I just think you're a fink.

Izo was a starting quarterback in 1956-1957 and went on to have a 6 year NFL career as a backup. He had a very strong arm and surprisingly led the team in interceptions (defensive that is).

Gay was a halfback in the glory years of Leahy and a very successful kick returner. His moment in Irish lore occurred in the 1949 USC game. We had fallen behind 14-7, and apparently the clock at the Colosseum was out. He asked the ref how much time was left in the game when he was setting up to receive the KO. When the ref said a minute and a half, Gay said "that should be enough" (or something similar). He then returned the kickoff about 80 yards to set up the tying score (a la Tim Brown later, but for a classic win).

We're hampered in finding 3 letter names - rare commodity in the Polish, Irish, and Italian lads.

Reggie Ho wins for two-lettered ND players.
