Notes on Roster Addition[edit]

  1. I'm working with the citations I added, plus some extra info such as "Final 1973 Cumulative Football Statistics Report" which helped me lock in the punter and kicker.
  2. There are some discrepancies between "Great Ideas of Western Man" and the game program I cited; guessing there was a preseason roster and then some changes later. If that assumption is correct, then it looks like the following were cut: Gary Bonn, Thomas Maguire, John Slava, Clyde Ligons, and Arnold Johnson (freshman DB). Johnson was the only one without a number so I cut him from the roster; everyone else stayed in. Looks like Curt Simmons was added later.
  3. Likewise, Brad Punko was listed as the punter in "Great Ideas of Western Man" (the preseason program), but "Final 1973 Cumulative Football Statistics Report" shows that Harhai was the punter.
  4. I'm not sure about the imbalance between defense and offense on the roster; I'm assuming that T means Tackle (and the template autocorrects it to OT) but it's possible that those guys could play both ways. The pro world had moved to two-platoon by 1973 but I'm guessing some of the old-school mentality was still here, so it's possible there were more two-way guys. (Woodhouse and Pyzdrowski are two examples for sure)
  5. Seems like the kicker and punter weren't perceived as primarily that, which is why they're listed as second positions rather than primary in special teams.
  6. I wasn't sure how to cite what is basically a yearbook and a game program. Input welcome. I have scans; if there's a way to share those and interest in doing so, I can.
