With the Pittsburgh Maulers, he played one game.

Early life and education

Mickey Barilla was born on March 27, 1958, in Steubenville, Ohio. He went to Western High School in Las Vegas, Nevada, before attending three colleges. He attended UNLV, Snow Junior College, and Colorado State University. He played kicker with their teams, the UNLV Rebels, Snow Badgers, and Colorado State Rams. He spent 1976 with UNLV, 1977 with Snow Junior College, and 1978 to 1979 with Colorado State University.[1] He lettered with Colorado State.[1] In 1978, Barilla made 13 of 21 field goal attempts, and 21 of 23 extra points while playing in 11 games.[2] In the Western Athletic Conference (WAC), Barilla was 7th for points scored, 5th for extra point attempts, 6th for extra points made, 3rd for field goal attempts, 4th for field goals made, and 4th for field goal percentage (61.9).[2] He also set the Colorado State single game record for field goals and points by kicking.[3][4] In his senior year, he made 13 of 19 field goal attempts, and 18 of 19 extra point attempts while playing in 12 games.[2] In the WAC conference, he ranked: 10th in points scored, 6th in extra point attempts, 6th in extra points made, 1st in field goal attempts, 1st in field goals made, and 1st in field goal percentage (68.4).[2] He tried to return for a 5th year but was deemed ineligible to play.[5]

Professional career

In 1980, Barilla was signed by the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League (NFL). However, he was released before the season started. He was signed the next year by the New York Jets but did not play.[6] After being released by New York, he worked as a car salesman.[7] In 1984, he was signed by the Oakland Invaders of the United States Football League (USFL), only to be traded shortly afterwards.[8] He was traded to the Pittsburgh Maulers, where he would beat out rival kicker Dave Jacobs for the starting job.[7] Barilla then played in the first game of the season against the Oklahoma Outlaws, making one of two field goal attempts.[9] However, the Maulers' general manager wasn't pleased with his performance and released him after only playing in one game.[10]
