was also a unanimous all-Big Eight performer…
Colorado’s all-time leading tackler
with 493 total stops, including 245 solo stops… Second leading
tackler in the conference behind Oklahoma’s Brian Bosworth his
senior season… One of his two career interceptions came late in

JOE ROMIG
OG/LB, 5-10, 199, 3L, Lakewood, Colo. (Lakewood)
The first two-time, first-team All-America
in CU history, a consensus selection both
times, as he made nine teams as a junior in

Preseason All-American team member prior to his senior season…
He finished sixth overall in the 1961 Heisman Trophy voting,
when he was the UPI Lineman-of-the-Year… He had no peer in his
day as a linebacker, as he ranged far and fiercely from his middle
position behind a four-man front, consistently in on most of the
stops before tackles were recorded as a statistic. On offense, he
developed into a an excellent straight-ahead and pulling blocker.

43.8 net figure; both numbers were first in the nation… He was the
only unanimous player on the all-league team at any position… He
slipped to honorable mention all-Big Eight status as a senior after
encountering a series of bad breaks (of his 54 punts, 15 were into

50, all while nursing a pulled groin muscle for about a third of the
season)… Started his career up the road at Colorado State but
transferred to CU after two seasons there… Signed as a free agent
