====Georgia Tech==== {{Main|1916 Cumberland vs. Georgia Tech football game}} On October 7, 1916, [[Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football|Georgia Tech]] defeated the [[Cumberland Phoenix football|Cumberland College Bulldogs]] 222β0. Cumberland had previously disbanded their football team, but quickly formed a scrub team when faced with fines if they refused to play. Georgia Tech scored 63 points in the first quarter and 63 points in the second quarter, then 54 points in the third quarter and 42 points in the fourth. Cumberland did not record a first down during the game. Georgia Tech won under the coaching of [[John Heisman]], who wanted revenge after an embarrassing 22β0 loss earlier that year to a Cumberland baseball team that he suspected of having used professional players posing as students.
