The 1954 VPI Gobblers football team repres … The 1954 VPI Gobblers football team represented Virginia Polytechnic Institute, now known as Virginia Tech, in the 1954 college football season. The team, coached by Frank Moseley, had an 8–0-1 record. The team was ranked 16th in the final Associated Press poll. Three major college football teams had perfect records in 1954, but the Gobblers only prevailed over one team with a winning record, fellow Southern Conference member Richmond, which was 5–4. Despite its record, and some interest from bowl scouts, Tech did not earn a berth in a postseason game. There were only 14 teams who played in bowl games following the 1954 season. It was the first undefeated season for Virginia Tech since the 1918 team went 7–0. It also marks the last time that a Virginia Tech team has gone undefeated (although the 1999 team went 11–0 in regular-season play before losing the National Championship game played in the 2000 Sugar Bowl). The Techmen were 3-0-1 in the conference, with the lone blemish coming in a tie with William & Mary, which finished the year 4-4-2. Tech finished second in the Southern to West Virginia which was 4-0. Those two teams did not face off during the season. Three Tech players were elected to the first-team all-conference squad: end Tom Petty who caught nine passes for 236 yards and five touchdowns; Dickie Beard who led the league in rushing with 647 yards; and future Baltimore Colts star George Preas, a star interior lineman. Howie Wright, injured early in the year, was elected to the second team. Frank O. Moseley, the 41-year-old head coach, was unanimously named the Associated Press Big-Six coach of the year. (The Big-Six was not a conference, but instead a press-inspired grouping of the six major college athletic programs in the state: Virginia Tech, William & Mary, UVA, VMI, Richmond, and Washington and Lee - ironically a school that did not field a varsity program in 1954). The state newspapers also coined seven other state athletic teams the "Little Seven": Emory and Henry; Hampden Sydney; Randolph-Macon; Bridgewater; Roanoke College (basketball only); and Lynchburg College (basketball only). The first team all Big-Six team included Beard, Petty and Preas, plus center Jack Prater and guard Billy Kerfoot.enter Jack Prater and guard Billy Kerfoot.
