four-year era
In 1963, Pueblo Junior College became Southern Colorado State College, and its athletic programs began competing against other four-year schools for the first time. Though the football program’s success as a junior college was admittedly mediocre, the program would be far more successful as a four-year program. 1963 (3-5 overall; No conf. affiliation) Coach: Joe Prater 1963 EMPORIA STATE L 20-21 1963 at St. Mary’s of the Plains W 28-7 1963 WEBER STATE L 14-28 1963 at Pittsburg State L 0-46 1963 WASHBURN L 0-7 1963 FORT LEWIS W 28-6 1963 at Fort Hays State L 14-18 1963 at Fort Lewis W 7-0 Home: 1-3 Away: 2-2
