• Source: 1983 WPI Engineers football team
  • The 1983 WPI Engineers football team was an American football team that represented the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) as an independent during the 1983 NCAA Division III football season. In their sixth year under head coach Bob Weiss, the Engineers compiled an 8–0 record and outscored opponents by a total of 225 to 56. The team was named Division III Team of the Year by the New England Football Newsletter, and Weiss was honored as 1983 Coach of the Year by the New England College Football Writers Association.
    Despite the team's undefeated and untied record, WPI was not invited to participate in the NCAA Division III Football Championship playoffs. Weiss responded to the omission: "How do you explain to 83 kids that they're unbeaten but unworthy?"
    Tailback Mike Carbone led the team with 1,115 rushing yards.
