Andy McClay Remembers the Final Four


The Lehigh Valley Morning Call Online has an article about former UMass Punter Andy McClay's trip to the Final Four with John Calipari's 1998 UMass Basketball Team.

The image to the left is a scan from the 1998 UMass Football press guide.

McClay deserves to be remembered as more than a trivia question. He was a great player for UMass.

A 6-4 195 pd punter from Stroudsburg, PA, McClay still holds a number of UMass punting records.

  • Season highest average per punt 43.3 (1998)
  • Most punts in a game 13 (1996)
  • Most Punts in a season 79 (1997)
  • Career punts 288 (1995-98)
  • Most punting yards career 11,278
  • Most punting yards season 3,028
Hopefully, we won't have another 2-9 season anytime soon, so Andy's season punting records will be safe!
