Coughlin went on to stardom for the Zips. He was instrumental in having the facemask installed on helmets after his teammates saw the beating that his face was taking and not wanting to get it themselves.

I did some research on Paul Winters, a former St. Vincent-St. Mary and University of Akron football star, who is now the head football coach at Wayne State. This excerpt from Wayne State's athletics site has information about Winters' playing days at the University of Akron: The seventh all-time leading rusher in school history, he rushed for 2,613 yards during his Zips career and was named 1980 UA Athlete of the Year. Winters was a three-time letterman and a three-time recipient of the Harry "Doc" Smith Award as the outstanding player in his class. In '79, Winters was selected as the Zips' offensive MVP.
