THIS DAY IN SPORTS HISTORY- OCTOBER 6/7

Running it up history

On this day in 1916, Georgia Texh defeated the Cumberland College Bulldogs by a score of 222-0, the most one-sided game in college football history.

It is believed that John Heisman Head Baseball and Football Coach at Georgia Tech) was bitter toward the Cumberland Bulldogs going back to the previous year's baseball season where he believed they purposefully ran up the score   ( Cumberland beat the Jackets 22-0). Neither team made a first down. Cumberland couldn't, and Tech scored every time it got the ball.
