History

Historical Context

On October 7 1916, Georgia Tech, coached by John Heisman, crushed Cumberland 222–0—the widest margin in college football history, gaining 1,650 rushing yards and 32 touchdowns. Cumberland, having dropped its football program and still obligated after a 22-0 baseball loss, fielded a makeshift squad. The lopsided result spurred later NCAA rules limiting mismatched contests and scheduling equity debates.
