What is the most lopsided game in college football history?
March 7th, 2010 | by admin |In 1916 Georgia Tech, under coach John Heisman, beat Cumberland University 222-0.
Cumberland had -28 yards for the game.
That is right.
The year before Cumberland had beat Georgia Tech under allegations that they were using pros as ringers. Cumberland had discontiuned its program before the 1916 season, but Heisman insisted on playing the game due to the scheduling agreement or Cumberland would have to pay Georgia Tech, $3,000.
Cumberland actually had -28 yards of offense (their longest play was 10 yards) and committed 15 turnovers.
