You're a few years too young. Jim Byers' teams went 8-2 in '74 and 7-3 in '75. The '74 team played in the NCAA Div. III playoffs losing in the pouring rain at Reitz Bowl to the eventual national champion Central College 17-16. Central blocked the game-tying extra point attempt with less than 2 minutes left in the game.

Those were certainly the glory days for Aces football. Most of my memories of Aces football were that they were just good enough to lose. Many heart breaking losses, and just could never quite get over the hump with Butler. Kind of reminds of the basketball program of late.
