Fordham University Athletics

Recognized in the 1941 edition of Eddie Dooley's Football Annual as "burly Joe Kovach, giant sophomore pivot," the native of North Tarrytown, New York, provided added strength and depth on a quality line. As a sophomore, Joe teamed with captain Lawrence Sartori at center on a team which outscored its opponents 182 to 67, finished the 1941 season 8-1, and defeated Missouri 2-0 in the Sugar Bowl.
