The 1982 Plymouth State Panthers football team was an American football team that represented Plymouth State University as a member of the New England Football Conference (NEFC) during the 1982 NCAA Division III football season. In their second year under head coach Jay Cottone, the Panthers compiled a perfect 10–0 record (9–0 against NEFC opponents), won the NEFC championship, outscored opponents by a total of 414 to 48, and received the Lambert Trophy as the best Division III team in the east.[1] The team had a nine-game winning streak at the end of the 1981 season and extended that streak to 19 games.[2][3][4] At the time, it was the longest active winning streak at any level of college football.[5]
The team gave up only 122.2 yards and 4.8 points per game on defense while the offense averaged 41.4 points per game.[1] Freshman running back Joe Dudek rushed for 1,094 yards on 123 carries (121.6 yards per game), scored 16 touchdowns, and was later inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.[6][7] Other statistical leaders included quarterback Kevin Bradley with 1,151 passing yards and Scott Anson with 37 catches for 529 receiving yards.[6]
The team played its home games at Panther Field in Plymouth, New Hampshire.
