The team won all 9 of its games under the leadership of Head Coach Ted Dunn, as well as the co-captains Gary Wilcox ('66) and Scott Taylor. In the only undefeated season in Springfield College football history, the chiefs outscored opponents 252-87. In one of their “best games of the year”, they defeated Northeastern with a final score of 16-14 in front of 12,000 fans. The team was named New England College Division Champions and Dunn was named New England College Division Coach of the Year.
Scrapbook was on loan through the 50th football reunion exhibit in October 2015. A digital copy was created for online review. A hard copy is located in student file for Scott Taylor. Original copy went back to the Taylor family.
