Becoming the first team to be inducted into the UCO Athletic Hall of Fame is the 1962 football squad that captured the school’s first-ever national championship.
 
The Bronchos of head coach Al Blevins dominated from start-to-finish while going a perfect 11-0 that season, outscoring their opponents a combined 350-59 while recording five shutouts.  UCO had nine first-team All-Oklahoma Collegiate Conference performers on the team and defeated Lenoir-Rhyne (N.C.) 28-13 in the NAIA national title game in Sacramento, Calif.
 
Seven players from that team (R.L. Briggs, Billy Jones, Mickey Hoy, Mike Little, Ed Nowlin, Mike Rollins and Bobby Williams) are members of the UCO Athletic Hall of Fame and three (Briggs, Hughley and Williams) played in the National Football League.
