99 years ago on October 7, 1916, John Heisman coached Georgia Tech to a 222-0 victory over Cumberland in the most lopsided college football game in history. Cumberland never even gained a first down.

Hugh Freeze is probably trying to schedule Cumberland right now.

"Cumberland never even gained a first down."

Neither did GT. They scored on every play from scrimmage.

I believe they called the game early in the third quarter. I've always loved that story.

I believe our worst loss was 74-0 to Houston in 1969. I'm a negative person, so I can't recall our most lopsided victory.
