The credits say he was a fan in the crowd at the big game, but which one? Maybe the guy standing behind Rudy's Dad and Frank?

Rudy is not the person who says "Who's the wild one now?" and he is not the groundskeeper. The person who says "Who's the wild one now?" was Rudy's student tutor. The groundskeeper never existed in real life. He was a composite of Rudy's multiple mentors that helped him achieve his dream.
View the clip at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vR2wOHwJ-Jo&NR=1.
At 1:48 in that 3:18 clip, the scene begins with Ned Beatty, the actor playing Rudy's father, turning to his right and grabbing the white fur lapel coat collar of a fan behind him. The person wearing that coat with the white fur lapel collar is the real Rudy.

Yes, that's him. To the OP: if you look at the very last shot in the movie, a photo of the real Rudy back in 1975, you can see that this is the same guy.
