Top Moments in Program History to be Released during KU Football's 100th Season

KUTZTOWN, Pa. – 2015 marks the 100th season of Kutztown University football, and in conjunction with the university's Sesquicentennial Celebration, KU will be releasing the greatest moments in program history.
 
Moments will be released during the final two weeks of preseason camp (Aug. 24 & 31), and during home and road football games throughout the season. They will be announced at home games through game programs and public address, and at road games through on-air broadcasts on KUR. Be sure to check out the 2015 KUR football schedule to hear new moments announced live.
 
After their public release, a compiled list of moments will be added to the main headquarters for 100 Seasons of KU Football.
 
Here is this week's release of KU football's top moments:
  
1895. They like Foot Ball. When football began on Normal Hill in 1895, the games and opponents looked drastically different than what Golden Bear fans are used to today. Keystone State went 5-0 in that first season, being declared county champions by the Kutztown Patriot after a 10-4 win over Reading High School late in the year. Wins were also turned in against Pottstown (twice), Allentown and Hockendauqua.

September 22, 1973. George Baldwin Earns First of Many Wins. Baldwin won his first career game as the head coach at Kutztown with a 31-10 win over Shippensburg State. Baldwin spent 14 seasons at the helm of the Golden Bears and is the school's all-time winningest coach with 61 wins.

April 20, 1996. John Mobley Drafted in First Round of NFL Draft. Mobley, who played for the Golden Bears from 1991-95, was selected by the Denver Broncos with the 15th overall pick in the first round of the NFL Draft. He remains the only player in PSAC history to be selected in the first round.  Named to several All-America and All-Conference teams while at Kutztown, Mobley tallied 387 tackles in his four years with the Golden Bears. 

October 30, 2010. Golden Bears on Cloud Nine. Kutztown won its first nine games of the 2010 season, capped with a come-from-behind 45-23 win over West Chester at home on Senior Day, setting the school-record for longest winning streak. During the nine-game streak, KU outscored its opponents 370-191.
