Hall of Fame
The 1992 Gryphon football team captured the Yates Cup, defeating the Western Mustangs, 45-10, at the SkyDome to secure the second OUA title in program history. The 1992 team posted a regular season record of 4-3 to make it into the postseason as the fourth and final team in the OUA playoffs. In the OUA semifinals against a heavily favoured University of Toronto Varsity Blues team, the Gryphons pulled off the upset on the road at the old Varsity Stadium in Toronto, ending the season for the top-seeded Varsity Blues and their Hec Crighton-winning quarterback, Eugene Buccigrossi. The 1992 Yates Cup at the SkyDome saw the Gryphons put together one of the most memorable performances in program history, rolling over Western, 45-10. Gryphons quarterback Wally Gabler was named the recipient of the Dalt White Trophy as Yates Cup MVP, throwing five touchdown passes in the game. The 1992 Gryphons team boasted an outstanding defence, led by All-Canadian linebacker, Mike O'Shea, who was named the OUA's Outstanding Defensive Player that season. Rob Wesseling (offensive line), Shawn Hagarty (defensive tackle) and Dave Irwin (receiver) were all named Second Team All-Canadians, while Rob DiGravio, Jim Stewart, Steve McKee, Kevin Reid, Rob MacRae and Hugh Tharby were all named OUA All-Stars. The 1992 team was led by head coach, Dan McNally.
