UMass Historical Scans ---- 1983


I've added fourteen scans from four different 1983 game programs to the "UMass Football History" folder. The link is here. The new scans are marked 1983. Be sure to use the magnifying glass option for larger views of the scans. Clicking and dragging the image allows easier reading of the captions or text.

The historical section now totals 84 scans covering 1971, 1973 and 1976 through 1983.

UMass finished 3-8 in 1983. We had wins over Harvard, Maine and Boston University. Losses were to Toledo, Holy Cross, Rhode Island, Delaware, UConn, Lehigh, UNH and Northeastern.

UMass Captains were Grady Fuller (1st team All-YC), Richard Jenkins and Gary Freker.

Bob Picket was Head Coach. Assistant coaches were Mike Hodges, Jim Reid, Bob McConnell, Kevin Karwath, Doug Berry and Steve Telander.

1983 was the last year of Bob Pickett's six year run as head coach.
