Springfield College won the game 12 to 7 before 2,500 fans. The film was on two reels that appear to be separated by half. The Chiefs, as Springfield College teams where known back then, was coached by Michael C. “Mike” DeLong ’74 and went 7-3 in the 1991 season. They remained undefeated for home games, and held on to the Mayor’s Trophy for the fourth consecutive year. The Chiefs saw teammate Fran Papasadero named to the 1991 Kodak All-American Team and six players named to the All New England Team. DeLong spent twenty-nine years as the head football coach at Springfield College and earned 165 victories—more games than any other coach in the college’s history. Combine those wins with the two years he coached at Maine Maritime, and his record as a head coach is 177-122-2, making him the most successful active head coach in New England Division III. In 2001, the All-American Football Foundation selected DeLong as a recipient of its Johnny Vaught Lifetime Achievement Award for Head Coaches.
