1082005 Rhode Island Football

Ram Legends: Frank KeaneyWhen most people think of Frank Keaney, they remember racehorse

basketball, fast-breaking offenses and the Rams piling up victory after vic-tory on the hardwood.

But Keaney spent 21 years (1920-40) as Rhode Island’s head footballcoach, as well. He is the school’s second winningest coach registering 70victories during his tenure. Inheriting a team that had posted a 0-7-1record in 1919, he sought to rebuild the Rams, a process that would takethree years. From 1929-36, Rhode Island posted winning records in sevenof eight seasons, going 37-26-4 (.582) over that span.

His biggest win on the gridiron came on Oct. 5, 1935 when the Ramsbattled powerful Brown. The Rams had lost to the Bears 23 straight timesand were shutout in the first 13 games between the two teams.

Such was the Rams’ record entering the contest against their intrastaterival. As coach Frank Keaney led his charges onto the Brown Stadiumgridiron in from of 15,000 fans, a chorus of whistles and catcalls greetedtheir new Keaney Blue uniforms and white Kangaroo leather shoes, prob-ably the first football team ever to be so attired.

As usual, Brown was favored against the Rams. The Rams had losttheir first two games of the season without even scoring a point. RhodeIsland lost the season-opener, 32-0, at Holy Cross before falling, 7-0, atMaine a week later. The game was the season-opener for Brown.

Brown had 80 players in uniform while the Rams dressed just 13.Despite their decided underdog status, Keaney had his team prepared forcoach D.O. McLaughry’s Brown squad. The game was a thriller that isstill talked about today as one of the greatest games ever between the twostate teams.

Rhode Island marched 94 yards for a score in the first quarter and hitpay dirt on a nifty gallop by Bob Mudge to put the Rams ahead, 13-0, athalftime. Brown rallied and scored on a 65-yard lateral play in the thirdquarter to cut the lead to 13-7. But the stubborn Ram defense was neveragain threatened and a late interception by Justin McCarthy assured a vic-tory for the Rams.

Pandemonium broke loose when the game ended. Keaney was carriedthe length of the field by his ecstatic players and the Rhode Island faith-ful. The victory celebration over the Ivy League power lasted several dayswith a dance celebration at Rhodes-on-the-Pawtuxet, a campus rally onthe Quad and a full Monday holiday for the entire college courtesy of col-lege president, Carl Woodward.

A portly, wide-faced Irishman, Keaney belonged to the old fashionedschool of coaching that stressed character over technique. “My psycholo-gy of it is that you’ve got to feel victory if you’re going to win,” hedeclared. To his players, he was fond of emphasizing the differencebetween Will to Win and Love to Lose. “As far as techniques of the game,he was probably the worst coach I ever had,” admitted one player. “Butas far as being able to psyche teams up and get them ready for games, hewas super. He had a great way with all his players, from the substitute tothe star.”

To compensate for football teams that lacked size and number, Keaneystressed conditioning above all else, seeking both to outlast opponentsand to minimize injuries. His players were expected to play every minuteof every game.

Impatient with the conservative style of play then in fashion, hesearched for ways to open up the game. In football he was one of the first to employ the double wing formation, running it with double andtriple backfield lateral plays that flabbergasted coaches who shrank fromany thrown ball as if it were a live grenade. His baseball teams ran oppo-nents dizzy. The fast break was but the logical extension of this impulse

to basketball.

That Keaney cared more for the opinion of the fans than of his peerswas made evident when he advised his fellow coaches at a New Yorkluncheon, “Give the crowds action. If some coach puts up a screwydefense, use a screwier offense. Then if you lose, pivot and go home.” Tocritics of his style he said simply, “We don’t say we’re right, but you’vegot to stop us.”

During his long coaching and teaching tenure at Rhode Island - span-ning more than four decades from the 1920s to the late 1940s - Keaneywas constantly experimenting with new ideas both as a coach and as achemist, as well as a foot hardener suitable, a potent-smelling lineamentfor aches and pains and distinctive school color “Keaney Blue,” alsoknown as “Rhody Blue.”

Before Keaney concocted his special shade of powdery blue, RhodeIsland’s colors had been white and royal blue. But Keaney, after spendingconsiderable time mixing a variety of blue and white paints together inhis on-campus laboratory, came up with his special shade of blue - a light,soft tint all but the same color as the University of North Carolina’s. Later,after Keaney Gym was finished in 1953, Keaney set up a small lab in athird floor room - now the football player’s lounge - in the southwesterncorner of the building where he refined the color to match his exactingspecifications.

But Keaney had something more; a restless imagination and a flair forshowmanship. The fast break in basketball was not the only product ofhis maverick genius; there was a touch of originality in everything he did.A native of Boston, Keaney graduated from Bates in 1911. He played pro-fessional baseball and coached high school before coming to Rhode Islandin 1920 as athletic director, coach of all sports and chemistry instructor.Later he even produced a light blue dye, known as “Keaney blue,” a colorhis teams wore in place of the school’s official color, royal blue.

In 28 years as Rhode Island’s legendary basketball coach, Keaney com-piled an impressive 401-124 record, but the numbers scarcely measure hisachievement. He turned a game of patterned plodding into forty minutesof frenzied excitement while overflow crowds, delighted at the spectacleof racehorse basketball, howled their approval. In an era when mostteams did well to score 40 or 50 points a game, Rhode Island averagednearly 80 and routinely led the nation in scoring.

Keaney retired from active coaching in 1948 and was inducted into theNaismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1960, the Hall of Fame’ssecond year. Frank William Keaney passed away on Oct. 10, 1967 at theage of 81.

1092005 Rhode Island Football

Ram Legends: Hal KoppIn May, 1998, Hal Kopp, the winningest football coach in Rhode

Island annals, passed away at the age of 89. Never far from the grid-iron, he served as an honorary assistant coach and helped broadcastRhode Island football games on radio well into his 80s and was a regu-lar at Ram football games until 1997.

Growing up at Perry Point, Md., Kopp was exposed to the world ofathletics at an early age. Perry Point was a government reservation hos-pital complex, and at the end of World War I, the reservation employedKopp’s father and kept young Hal busy in the recreation program.

He learned to play baseball, mostly because he was the only one whowould agree to crouch down behind the plate and catch the patientswho were pitching. Many of the patients were shell-shocked from thewar, others had lung damage from mustard gas attacks, and otherswere unbalanced for one reason or another. But every afternoon duringthe summer, the instructors would be out on the field working with thepatients. And soon Kopp became a regular in their games.

In high school, he also took up basketball, soccer and football, and itwasn’t long before people started noticing the talented halfback’s giftfor the gridiron game. By his senior year, he decided he would attendWestern Maryland and play his college ball for coach Dick Harlow. Arugged 200-pound running back, Kopp gained more yards againstarchrival Maryland in his sophomore season than the entire Terrapinbackfield. In his senior season, he was selected to play in the very firstNorth-South game, held in Baltimore Stadium. Aligned with playersfrom Mississippi, Alabama and throughout the deep South, Kopp andhis teammates practiced for one week before the big game. The day ofthe game, it snowed six inches. For many of his teammates it was thefirst time they had seen snow.

A good spring on the baseball diamond helped him garner a briefstint with the Washington Senators after college, but after bouncingaround the baseball ranks, he stumbled upon a coaching opportunitywith a former Harlow assistant, Jimmy Dunn at Northeastern, anddecided to take it. He had married his college sweetheart, June, and thecouple had one son, Karl.

His career in coaching was just beginning to take hold when PearlHarbor was bombed, plunging the United States into World War II.Kopp was called up as a first lieutenant and saw combat during theallied invasion of North Africa. But his coaching career was not on holdfor the duration. Due to a stateside assignment, he was able to returnhome to serve as assistant coach at Brown and later at Connecticut,while head of the ROTC program. After the war ended, Kopp was dis-

charged from the Army and joined Harlow as a line coach at Harvard.After Harlow’s retirement from coaching, Kopp spent a spring withConnecticut, before moving on to Yale. When Connecticut began look-ing for a new head coach, Kopp believed his time had come. What hedidn’t know was that a former teammate would beat him out for thejob.

But all was not lost. At the same time, Rhode Island, a small schoolwhose football program was third in athletic importance to basketballand track, was shopping for a head coach. Kopp was offered the job athis first meeting with Vice President Dr. Harold Browning. In his book,“I’ve Seen It All,” Kopp writes about his first few months at the URIhelm: “With the help of the alumni secretary, Charlie Hall, the studentbody and Dr. Browning, I was able to offer a few scholarships to someof the Rhode Island high school players.

“I was wont to say that I had 21 boys and 19 sea gulls at our firstspring practice. Despite my small squad, we did well the first year. Infact, we beat the University of Connecticut. It was great satisfaction tome — beating (new Connecticut head coach) Art Valpey. While I was atRhode Island, my teams never lost to Connecticut, Massachusetts orNortheastern. We also won three out of four games with Brown.”

After a 3-5 season in 1950, Kopp was called back to serve in theKorean War. Reassured his job would be secure when he returned, hereported to Fort Benning, Ga., where he became the athletic officer ofthe Combat Training Center and coached football and basketball. Whenthe time came for duty assignments, Kopp was sent to Bremerhaven,Germany to begin a football program for morale purposes. When hereturned to URI in 1952, he had only a week to get his players ready forthe annual Brown game. His team defeated Brown for the first time in14 years, and Kopp was on his way. The 7-1 record of his 1952 teamwas the best in school history.

He spent five seasons at the URI helm, and compiled a 28-11-2record, the best winning percentage in URI coaching history. He wasnamed the Rhode Island Coach of the Year three times and the NewEngland Coach of the Year in 1955, after piloting his team through anundefeated regular season and then to a postseason game at theRefrigerator Bowl in Evansville, Ind.

In 1956, Kopp left Rhode Island to become the first non-Mormonhead coach at Brigham Young. After three seasons there, the Mormonlifestyle and the Hal Kopp philosophies were blending like oil andwater. He knew his contract would not be renewed and so he accepteda position at Boston University as a line coach.

After coaching eight colleges, two all-star games, and two armyteams, Kopp decided in 1964 to give high school coaching a try. He wasjust as successful in the high school ranks, putting together an unde-feated season in 1965 and continuing until the 1971 season. Then, hedecided to retire from coaching. But giving up an addiction cold turkeyis never easy; and so when Bentley called to say they were going tostart a program, the renowned coach knew he had to help. He spent thenext five seasons developing Bentley into a solid Division III program.

June and Hal both retired from the Massachusetts school system atthe same time, moving back home to Narragansett. But he still couldn’tstay away from the game — after all, it had been his life for nearly 70years. In 1993, he surpassed Amos Alonzo Stagg’s longevity record asthe oldest active coach in college football.

In his own words, Hal Kopp’s career was symbolized by “So manyfriends. So many victories. So much in the ‘win’ column, after all.”

Ram Legends: Tom EhrhardtIt has been more than a decade since Rhode Island quarterback Tom Ehrhardt

and his outstanding supporting cast made back-to-back appearances in theNCAA I-AA playoffs, but if any memories are eternal, then the 1984 and 1985Ram teams not only etched their place in the Rhode Island record books, butalso in the minds of their faithful fans.

Those two teams are a part of Rhode Island lore, and the atmosphere sur-rounding them permeated throughout the state and the region. “I rememberthinking that URI was never going to lose when he (Ehrhardt) was in thegame,” said Ram alumnus and assistant gymnastics coach Mike Franco. “Youhad a sense that he would get it done. He had an intangible quality that allowedhim to put his team over the top and he and (Brian) Forster were a great tan-dem.”

The 1984 and 1985 teams combined for a 20-6 record, won two YankeeConference Championships, and won two NCAA playoff games - the last Ramteams to make the post-season. Ehrhardt is quick though to credit his team-mates for the teams’ success. “Our offensive line was strong, we had a soliddefense and great receivers,” said Ehrhardt, who holds every Ram passingrecord after spending just two years at Rhode Island.

Ehrhardt and his golden arm transferred to Kingston from then Division IIC.W. Post because he liked coach Bob Griffin’s pass oriented offensive style. Butin his first start for the Rams in 1984, he was far from great, completing justseven of 14 passes for 71 yards and suffered two interceptions in a 31-21 winover Howard - a game he left injured in the third quarter.

Following a win over Lafayette in his second game and a loss to Holy Crossin week three, Ehrhardt began to click. He passed for 272 yards and two touch-downs as the Rams blasted Maine 27-0. A week later, he showed his prowess,throwing for 410 yards and five touchdowns in a 34-13 rout of state rival Brown.

The Rams rolled through their schedule unscathed for the next four weeks asEhrhardt had passing performances of 408 yards against Massachusetts and 425versus Northeastern. With an 8-1 record and a perfect Yankee Conferencemark, the Rams traveled to Durham, New Hampshire and dropped a 14-12decision to the Wildcats. In the final week of the regular season, Ehrhardttossed three touchdown passes to Dameon Reilly and one to Bob Donfieldin a 29-19 win over Connecticut giving the Rams the league title.

After an opening round playoff bye, Rhode Island hostedRichmond at Meade Stadium. Ehrhardt, who along with Griffinwere inducted into the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame in 1996,rose to the occasion. The Rhode Island signal-caller completed34-of-53 passes for 389 yards and Forster caught a schoolrecord 18 passes as Rhode Island downed the Spiders 23-17setting up a semifinal match-up at Montana State.

Like Ehrhardt’s first game in Keaney blue, the last game ofthe 1984 season is one he wishes he could forget. With the Ramsleading 20-18, Ehrhardt forced a pass that was intercepted on theMontana State three-yard line and returned 97 yards for a touchdown.Rhode Island did not recover, fumbling the ensuing kickoff to set upanother Bobcat score. The Rams lost 32-20. “I still have the tape ofthat game,” said Ehrhardt. “You look at it and say ‘Why did youthrow it?’ That interception probably cost us the national cham-pionship.”

If the end of the 1984 season was disappointing, 1985 start-ed off even worse for Ehrhardt and the heralded Rams. Threeplays into the season-opener against Delaware, Ehrhardt leftwith an injured hip pointer and the Rams fell to the BlueHens 29-13. Rhode Island also lost All-America defensiveback Tony Hill for the season on the fourth defensive play ofthe game when he fractured his arm.

With Ehrhardt out of action against Howard in the next

game, backup quarterback Greg Farland stepped in and threw two touchdownpasses and the defense stepped up its play in a 46-0 drubbing of the Bison.

The return of Ehrhardt in week three saw him throw for 357 yards in a 34-14 win over Maine, but the following week, Brown would avenge their 1984loss with a 32-27 win over Rhode Island despite 461 yards passing by Ehrhardt. Forster tied his own record of 18 catches for another record 327 yardsin the loss.

As they did in 1984, the Rams went on a tear, winning their next seven gamesto finish the regular season at 9-2. Ehrhardt connected for 520 yards passing in a45-38 win over Lehigh. It was November 16, 1985 when the Rams hosted theHuskies with an undefeated Yankee Conference season hanging in the balance,and after Ehrhardt hit for two first quarter TD passes and a 14-0 lead, it lookedlike Rhode Island was in control. Connecticut responded with five straight

touchdowns and a 35-14 lead. At the half, the Rams trailed 42-28. The URIdefense responded in the second half by shutting down the Husky attack

while Ehrhardt continued to work his magic as he tossed four moretouchdown passes after the break and the Rams rolled to a 56-42 win

and the conference’s automatic berth to the NCAA playoffs.

Ehrhardt’s 566 yards passing set a new school standard aswere his eight touchdown passes and his .667 passing percent-age. Forster, who was named to the Yankee Conference all-timeteam, caught 16 passes for 205 yards and Reilly hauled in ninepasses for 204 yards in the game.

“That was a memorable game,” said a modest Ehrhardt,“because we fell behind by 21 points and came back and won to

have an undefeated conference season.”

Rhode Island opened the playoffs with a 35-27 win overAkron in Kingston and Ehrhardt was sizzling as he completed aschool record 43 passes. In round two, the Rhode Island signal-caller was picked off six times in a 59-15 loss to Furman. He com-pleted 39 of a record 78 attempts, but the interceptions, of whichone was returned for a touchdown, led to the end of the seasonand Ehrhardt’s impressive career.

“It was great experience,” Ehrhardt, the only Rhode Islandfootball player ever to have their uniform number (12) retired,said later. “As you get older and you work and have a family,you look back and appreciate it. That was really neat and I waslucky to experience it and we were fortunate to have a greatteam.”

A great team led by a great player which left great memo-ries and set a few records along the way.

1112005 Rhode Island Football

Ram Legends: Pat AbbruzziIt has been said that persistence pays off. For

Rhode Island football coach Hal Kopp, it suredid. If it was not for his determination inrecruiting local high school star Pasquale “Pat”Abbruzzi to spend his Saturday afternoons onthe grass of Meade Stadium, Abbruzzi mighthave set a number of rushing records at NotreDame or Boston College.

A life-long native of Warren, R.I., Abbruzziwas a three-sport star athlete in football, basket-ball and baseball at Warren High. Kopp hadhis eye on the All-State player and convincedthe local product to stay in Rhode Island eventhough the Fighting Irish and Eagles had aheavy interest in him.

Kopp knew Abbruzzi had the potential to begood back, one to build his offense around andhe didn’t want this prized recruit to slip away.His hard-nosed pile-driving style of running,reminiscent of John Riggins and Earl Campbell,was tailor-made for Kopp’s style of ball-controloffense.

“He was the reason why I went to theUniversity of Rhode Island,” said Abbruzzi.

The 5-foot-9, 206-pound Abbruzzi was ahard-nosed, rock solid player who had thephysical stature to take the constant pounding that he would take on aweekly basis.

In his four years at URI, the Rams had a 22-10 (.710) record andearned shares of the Yankee Conference title twice. In his freshman sea-son, Abbruzzi recorded the longest run from scrimmage with a 99-yardtouchdown run in the third game of the season against NewHampshire. The mark still stands today.

In the Rams’ 27-7 win at New Hampshire on October 4, 1952,Abbruzzi was the story as he bulldozed his way for three touchdownsand set a single-game record of 306 rushing yards, a record that hasnever been equaled. He finished the season with eight touchdowns,rushing for 1,189 yards (then a school record).

He started his third year in the Rams’ backfield with two touch-downs versus Northeastern in the season-opener. By the time the 1953campaign ended, he had rambled for 959 yards on 170 carries (5.6 yardsper carry) and scored a touchdown in each of the Rams’ eight gamesthat year.

In his senior year, a nagging ankle injury suffered in the season open-er at Northeastern slowed him all season. But in his final game of hisRam career, Abbruzzi ran for 221 yards and two touchdowns in a 20-0win over Connecticut. A fitting ending to a remarkable career.

Abbruzzi left a lasting impression on the Ram record books. He isURI’s all-time ground gainer with 3,389 yards on 562 carries, is theleader in career touchdowns (25) and is fourth in career points (150). AtRhode Island, he established himself as the greatest back in team histo-ry and one of the best ever from the state.

The Rams’ Little All-American in 1953 and ’54, Abbruzzi holds adozen New England, Yankee Conference and Rhode Island rushingrecords. Many of the URI records that he broke were held by his broth-er, “Duke,” who played on the Rams from 1937-41.

Abbruzzi is the only player in the history of the Yankee Conference

to be selected to the All-Conference team. Hewas selected the Rhode Island Athlete of theYear in 1953 and Rhode Island Italian-AmericanAthlete of the Year in 1953 and 1954. In addi-tion, he was also chosen as an All-New Englandselection twice.

After his illustrious career at URI, Abbruzziopted to take his talents north of the border toMontreal, Canada. Despite being drafted by theBaltimore Colts in the third round in 1953, hedecided on Canada because of a conflict regard-ing a bonus. Abbruzzi chose to play for theMontreal Alouettes of the Canadian FootballLeague. He played four seasons in Montrealand became one of the greatest all-time playersin Canadian Football history.

In his first year, he recorded eight 100-yardgames and subsequently was named theCanadian Football League’s Player-of-the-Yearin 1955. A member of the Alouettes’ Hall-of-Fame, Abbruzzi holds a number of team recordsand was named to the league’s All-Pro teameach season.

He played for the Alouettes from in 1955-58,and holds the team record for rushing touch-downs in a game with four (at Toronto, Oct. 22,1955) and is second on the all-time list in rush-

ing with 3,749 yards, carries (700), 100-yard games (11) and touchdowns(45).

In his first two seasons, Abbruzzi set the team record for touchdownsin a season with 19 in his first year and then broke his own record with20 the following season. He shares the record for points in a game with24 versus the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on September 22, 1956. In his firstseason, he tied the team record for touchdowns in a game with four ontwo different occasions (versus Hamilton and Toronto) and recordedanother four touchdown game the next year against the Tiger-Cats(September 22, 1956).

In three of his four seasons, Abbruzzi led the Alouettes in rushing.He ran for 1,248 yards in 1956, 1,062 in 1957 and 809 in 1957. He holdsthe team records for rushing touchdowns in a season with 17 and forthe most touchdowns in a season by a rookie.

In 1972, Abbruzzi’s feats were recognized as he was inducted into theUniversity of Rhode Island Athletic Hall of Fame and he was inductedinto the Providence Gridiron Club Hall of Fame in 1976.

After his playing days, Abbruzzi still stayed involved in the game heloved. He was a physical education teacher for 30 years and was a suc-cessful football coach for 26 years at his alma mater, Warren HighSchool. He built the football program into one of the most respectedprograms on and off the field. His teams won a total of nine divisionaland state championships, including a winning streak of 34 consecutiveregular-season victories during the 1970s. He was honored as the RhodeIsland School Boy Coach-of-the-Year in 1975. In addition, he is a mem-ber of the Canadian Football Hall of Fame.

In his illustrious football career on the high school, collegiate andprofessional levels, Pat Abbruzzi left a lasting impression on the gameboth in the United States and Canada. Abbruzzi, who passed away onJune 3, 1998 will be remembered as one of the best football players inRhode Island gridiron history.

Marshall Tyler(1898-08)23-22-8 in 10 seasonsMarshall Henry (Tip) Tyler, an

all-American at Amherst,

became the first Rhode Island

coach in 1898. He went 24-21-7

in 10 years while he concen-

trated first on heading up the

remedial Preparatory Department and then on

teaching math. He also coached baseball and

women’s hoops. Tyler was a math professor from

1906 until his death in 1942, becoming one of the

most beloved figures on campus. Not one but two

buildings have been named for him, including the

current home of math and computer science.

George Cobb(1909-11, 1913-14)17-16-5 in six seasonsGeorge R. Cobb, a former

Massachusetts standout ath-

lete, took over the football and

baseball coaching reigns from

Marshall Tyler when he

arrived in 1909 as an instructor

in horticulture and physical education. He tough-

ened up the schedule, taking on the Brown varsity

for the first time in his very first game. Cobb gave

up the coaching reins in 1912 to coach the junior

varsity squad but returned to coach the varsity in

1913. His teams suffered 10 shutouts in his final 16

games posting a combined 4-9-3 mark in 1913 and

1914.

Robert W.Bingham(1912)6-3 in one seasonStanding in for George R.

Cobb for one season, Robert

W. Bingham led Rhode Island

to a 6-3 mark in 1912, his only

season in Kingston. A 1911 graduate of Brown,

Bingham was just 23 years old when he took over

the head coaching reins of the Rhode Island pro-

gram. His squad posted five shutouts and

outscored the opposition 105-52 for the season.

After his departure from the sidelines, it would be

14 seasons (1927) until Rhode Island would again

post a winning season (5-3).

Jim Baldwin(1915-16)6-9-1 in two seasonsAs the college neared its 25th

anniversary, it hired James A.

Baldwin as its first athletic

director and head football,

basketball and baseball coach.

In two years, Baldwin’s teams

went 6-9-1 in football, 5-11 in basketball and 8-6 in

baseball. The gridders went scoreless in nine of 16

games but took out their frustration on Fort Adams

with a 69-0 blowout in 1916, the second highest

point total in school history. Baldwin left in 1917 to

direct a YMCA program for American troops fight-

ing in France.

series of athletic directors to

last three years or less, strug-

gled to keep the program

afloat after America entered

World War I in 1917. Most

able-bodied junior and senior men left for military

service or agricultural work, leaving a skeleton

crew for sports. Murray’s first squad went 2-4-2 in

’17, but the college failed to field a team the follow-

ing year. In 1919 the Rams scored just 31 points in a

winless season, leaving Murray 2-11-3 for his brief

Frank Keaney(1920-40)70-87-12 in 21 seasonsFrank W. Keaney is such an

exalted figure as a Hall of

Fame basketball coach that his

two decades in football (70-87-

2) are often overlooked. His

teams were .500 or better 10

times in his final 14 years and beat Brown for the

first time (1935). As a basketball coach, he invented

the fast break and took the Rams to the 1946 NIT

final, losing to Kentucky by a point in what was

then considered the national title game. And as a

chemistry professor, he invented Rhode Island’s

distinctive light blue color.

Floyd Keith(1993-99)23-53-0 in seven seasonsFloyd A. Keith, the first black

coach in Yankee Conference

(now Atlantic 10) history,

turned in one winning season

in eight years at Rhode Island

(23-53), going 7-4 in 1995 and

winning the league’s New England Division. He led

Howard to a 23-17-2 mark in four years as head

coach (1979-82), then joined Bill Mallory’s staff at

Indiana, where the Hoosiers reached five bowl

games in his nine years (1984-91). Before going to

Howard, he coached under Mallory for four years

at Miami of Ohio and five at Colorado.

Tim Stowers(2000-present)22-35 in five seasonsTim Stowers’ five-year mark at

Rhode Island (22-35) is some-

what misleading, considering

he inherited a 1-10 team and

went 3-8, then 8-3 in just his

second season. In 2001, he led

the Rams to their first winning season in six years

and their first national ranking (No. 20) since 1985.

The Rams have played 20 nationally-ranked teams

in his five years at the helm. A former Auburn line-

man (1977-78) and assistant (1979-83), he joined the

Georgia Southern staff in 1985 and helped win three

I-AA titles in five years. Named head coach in 1990,

he guided the Eagles to a national crown in his first

season and was 51-23 in six years.
