Twelve Days until Kansas State-- 08/24/09

The Springfield Republican has an article on Bob McLaughlin following in his father's footsteps.

BTW, in 1978 Joe McLaughlin led the Minutemen with 76 UT 66 AT 142 TT. Bob, playing as a sophomore down lineman in 2008 had 13 UT 7 AT 20 TT 0.5-2 sacks 1-2 TFL.

TRIVIA Contest: Joe led the Minutemen in tackles in 1978. Jeromy Miles led the 2008 UMass team with 104 TT.

Question: over those past 30 years, how many leading tacklers WERE NOT linebackers? Answer at the end of this blog post.
