The 1960 West Chester Golden Rams football team was an American football team that represented West Chester State College (now known as West Chester University) as a member of the East Division of the Pennsylvania State College Conference (PSCC) during the 1960 college football season. In their first year under head coach James Bonder, the Golden Rams compiled a perfect 9–0 record (6–0 against PSCC opponents), won the PSCC championship, and outscored opponents by a total of 311 to 68. They were ranked fifth in the final AP small college poll.
Bonder took over as head coach after spending the previous 14 years as the line coach on Glenn Killinger's coaching staff at West Chester. In addition to the turnover at head coach, the Rams lost Little All-American end Bill Campbell and quarterback Ted Kowal to graduation.
West Chester's sophomore fullback Joe Iacone was the small-college rushing champion with 1,438 rushing yards in nine games in 1960. He rushed for a season-high 201 yards and scored three touchdowns against Bloomsburg.
Iacone was the top vote-getter on the 1960 PSCC all-star team selected by the conference coaches. Back Jim Pribula was also named to the first team. Four other West Chester players were named to the second team: back Vince Bonkoski; end Bill Gray; guard Cordell Godbolte; and center Lou Capararo. The team's statistical leaders included Iacone with 1,438 rushing yards, Bonkoski with 1,254 passing yards, and Jim Pribula with 416 receiving yards.
The 1960 season was one of five perfect seasons in West Chester Rams football history, the others being 1923, 1928, 1952, and 1957.
The team played its home game at Farrell Field (formerly known as Wayne Field) in West Chester, Pennsylvania.
