Just realized Dawkins is the coach. I’m wrong on UCF
I was going to say Hawaii but then remembered they're not P4 + their one win in the NCAA's was over kal in the 2016 tourney - that latter part just warmed the cockles of my heart....IMUA!
OK - back to business - Rutgers?

Rutgers is 6-9 in the tourney including a run to the Final 4 in 1976. I remember that team led by Phil Sellers. They (like Indiana) were undefeated (31-0) going into the tourney (the last time 2 unbeaten teams got to the Final 4), but lost to Michigan in the semis.
Here's a (big) hint. By the end of this week, there's a chance that every Power 4 team will have at least 1 NCAA tourney win.

Congratulations to the former Bugeaters! Nebraska beat Troy 76-47.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)

Jimmy Johnson
Bob St. Clair
Leo Nomellini
Frankie Albert
Ted Kwalick
Dave Wilcox
Kwalick finished his career with the Raiders starting my frosh year - don't think he's NFL HoF either.
Wilcox & Johnson - hadn't thought of those guys, both good guesses too.

You're right on both counts re: Kwalick.
Mike Ditka says Dave Wilcox was the reason he retired...he couldn't get off the line against Wilcox.
Visco Grgich, Joe "The Jet" Perry, or John Henry Johnson

Kwalick went from being one of my favorite Niners when I was in h.s to a Traitor Raider the season I started my frosh year. My frosh roomie was from Menlo Park and a Raider fan and gave me crap about it - my reply was that he was only a Raider fan because a Raiderette had been featured in Playboy earlier that year.
But I digress - so Bob , my guesses above were B Young, Willis & Brodie
