University of Maine Sports Hall of Fame
The 1951 football team won both the Yankee Conference and State Series championships with an overall mark of 6-0-1, the first undefeated season since the beginning of the program in 1892. The .929 winning percentage is the second best individual season winning percentage in the history of the program. The 1951 team shut out four of its seven opponents, including each of the first three to start the season, while posting key wins over UConn and Rhode Island. The squad included four individual UMaine Sports Hall of Famers: Ed Bogdanovich, Jack Butterfield, Jim Butterfield and Woody Carville to go along with 12 all-conference honorees.
