I wonder if they didn't have second strings back then. Don't they let the second string play normally in this sort of situation? I gets they didn't organize into conferences with schools with similar football budgets.

Heisman was a vindictive prick. Cumberland cheated to beat his baseball team. Imagine the score if the ref's didn't shorten the game to 45 minutes.

College sports were much different back then. I am pretty sure that you did not really need to be enrolled to play. Colleges and Pros played each other. Equipment sucked and guys beat the crap out of each other.

A game from 1980. Neil Lomax's Portland State team over Delaware State, 105-0.

Lomax didn't score all the points - the coach sent in his sub who kept on scoring. To me, this game was more impressive than the 1916 game!

When football was for real men

Now high school coaches get suspended for “running up the score” and poor sportsmanship for far less
