My choices for UC would have been Smith, Vic Bottari, Muncie and Kapp.  Like Elway, Rodgers had more impact as a pro than a collegian. 

Smith was a contemporary of Knute Rockne and a fabulous coach.  He was the architect of the Wonder teams.  Sadly, he died of influenza at the peak of his career.

One interesting story about Andy Smith...  When Rockne was looking for a West Coast opponent with whom to establish an ongoing series, he contacted Smith and a deal was struck.  Unfortunately, soon thereafter Smith passed way and Rockne changed from playing UC annually to establishing a series with Southern California.  Thus was born the greatest intersectional series in college football ND and SC.
