The defending Yankee Con ference Champion Ram football team did not win a second suc
league title in 1982, but they did put together a recordbreaking season which will be long remembered by Rhody foot cessive
ball fans. The Rams set or tied 17 team and individual records and carved their niche in collegiate gridiron
when they defeated Maine in the longest game ever played in the collegiate ranks. The two squads battled each other at Orono for 6 overtime periods after regulation time had expired, in a
history 58-55
contest which made
sports pages the country. The team's final record of 7-4 marked only the third time in 82 seasons of football at Kingston that a URI team had won seven games in a season. This was due to a com bination of fine team play and superb individual effort led by a quartet of seniors. Quarterback Dave Grimsich set three new marks: most yards pass ing (season) 1,610; most TD passes (season) 14, and most TD passes (career) 24.
