UMass Football History--Jerry Whechel and Pete Pietz at the Tangerine Bowl


A blog reader sent me a publicity photo from UMass' 1964 Tangerine Bowl.

Minutemen QB Jerry Whechel went 8-14 142 2 TD's and 2 INT's. Whechel also kicked the extra points for UMass and missed one of them. Down 13-0, Eastern Carolina won the game on a late two-point conversion 14-13.

Wehchel lettered for UMass in 1962, 1963 and was Captain in 1964
Pete Pietz was a guard and lettered in 1963 and was Captain in 1964.
