From 1967 through 1969 number 14, Bill Cappleman, re-wrote the Florida State record book, claiming all career and season passing records. "Cap" threw 42 TD passes, completed 349 of 639 and gained
5,135 yards in the air. His total offense mark was 4,173 yards. His single season records include: 25 TD passes, 2,467 passing yards, 2,342 total offense yards, 344 passes and 183 completions. Against
Memphis State in 1969 this brilliant signal caller gained 508 yards in the air. Perhaps Cappleman's greatest game under center came as he led FSU to a 40-20 victory over powerful Houston in 1968. He
was unstoppable and his performance won Sport Illustrated's designation as national back of the week. Cappleman was chosen All-Southeastern Independent and honorable mention All-American. In '69 he
was named Florida's finest football player. Bill Cappleman well represented his alma mater as he carried on the FSU tradition of exciting football.
