RIP Eric Penick
Slightly before my time, but I was connected to him the last several years on facebook and had a few brief online exchanges with him. He struck me as a good person, extremely kind. He even had the habit of ‘liking’ and commenting on my infrequent, inconsequential family-related posts. I was humbled each time he did this.
Obviously, his place is ND lore is well earned.

I believe he was one of the first
" speed merchant's" of that era. God bless him, he made me happy
Run with The Lord , Eric.

Given the context his run was arguably the most electric in ND history.
Our biggest rival in a decade of their dominance AND absolutely critical to a Nattie.
My impression is that he was also a beautiful human being.
Had a 12 yard TD run against Bama in the 73 NC game. On a fractured ankle!

What a HOF call by the late great Lindsay Nelson. Was that Bud Wilkinson as the anaylist?
Eric's run certainly goes down as perhaps Top 5 all time. I was watching on TV and remember it well. I thought it was an ABC game. Anyway, RIP Eric. Once a Domer, always a Domer.
