The 1974 football team completed the program's first undefeated season and was inducted into the Towson Hall of fame in 2004.
Led by Head Coach
Phil Albert, the Tigers, in only their sixth year of NCAA football, marched through the schedule in dominating fashion. The team’s average margin of victory was 25 points, and it ended the regular season as the only Division III team in the country with 10 victories.
The tone for the 1974 season was set on September 14, 1974 in Mansfield, Pennsylvania in the Tigers' first game. The squad set many individual and season records.
Dan Dullea led the nation with a 61 percent completion percentage and set all the Towson individual game and season passing records.
Pat Barrett and
Skip Chase were on the receiving end of Dullea’s passes and found themselves in the record book.
Larry Jones rushed his way into the Towson individual and career record book as well, followed by
Joe Kelly,
John Carmichael and
Bill Kluttz who led a defense that recorded two shutouts and allowed only 97 points. Kicker
Terry O’Brien made 13 of 17 field goals, including a game winner that season.
