Who were some of your favorite players at each position?

[Hal Kopp]

Surprised not to see Dave Wienke (All YC 1st team) and Dave Grimsich (2 X All YC 2nd team) on ths list.
Bernie Pina was more of a TB.
Ehrhardt is a given.
Who is your vote for the other QB?

As you said, Ehrhardt is the #1 hands downbut I go with
Steve Tosches as the second guy - he was a very talented QB who transferred in. Had 2 fantastic years for URI.

I thought Roger Pearson for # 2,what a lot of honors!

I voted for QB/long time football staff member/Athletics Hall of Famer Larry Caswell.

Rf - I went with Caswell also - probably because I was in school at the time, and the '67 team was a very good one. His interception ratio was amazing - In the final game of the year, a home game against uconn that would decide the Yankee conference championship, he hurt his leg, they raced him by ambulance to South County and brought him back before the end of the game.

[Hal Kopp]

Can't say I disagree on Coach "Cas".
Pearson probably played before anyone can remember.

Would be nice if you could vote for the days that you missed.

[Hal Kopp]

Iggy-let's say you can-who would your 2 QB's be?

Hal,

It is most interesting to go back through the record books to jog the memory. What an amazing career Tom Ehrhardt had for URI.
It is incredible to look at some of the Stats from the 1985 Team.
Did you that of hte Top 10 Games with the Most Passing Yardage in hisory - all 10 are held by Ehrhardt?

Ehrhardt threw 42 TD Passes in 1985, 36 in 1984....the most ever other than those two years was Hixson with 15 - amazing.

Unfortunately in 1985 URI went to Furman and lost in the NCAA Playoffs. Ehrhardt threw a URI record 78 passes in that game.
