Scott Burger was a two-year football standout for UCO, a versatile performer who was a dual-threat quarterback in addition to handing kicking and punting chores for the Bronchos.

Burger cane to UCO in 1979 and promptly led the Bronchos to an 11-2 record and NAIA national runner up finish en route  to earning All-District 9 and second-team All-America honors.

He accounted for 28 touchdowns, passing for 1,497 yards and 13 scores while running for 574 yards and 15 TDs.  Burger also made 36-of-40 extra points and a field goal in scoring 129 points -- the second-best season total in school history -- and averaged 38.4 yards a punt.

Burger scored every UCO point in a 28-6 playoff win over Presbyterian, rushing for three touchdowns and passing for another while also kicking all four extra points.  The Bronchos made it all the way to the finals before dropping a 20-14 decision to Texas A&M Kingsville.

Burger came back as a senior in 1980 to earn All-District 9 recognition again after passing and running for nearly 1,300 yards and 10 TDs in leading a young team to a 5-4 record.  He also made 15 PATs and field goal while averaging 39.6 yards a punt.

Burger was named the second-team quarterback on UCO’s All-Century Team that was selected in 2006 to celebrate 100 years of football at the school.
