The whole idea of a Helmet Program to me has sparing to do with wins and losses.


And yet the consensus helmet programs are basically the top 10 in all-time wins....

It's incredible football even got going.  Aside from the deaths and what-not, I was looking around at some old-timey seasons.
1934
I hope no one paid much to watch Furman play.  Average score of their games was 4.4 - 5.1 for the season.
Wins included games of 3-2, 9-3, 7-6, and 6-0.  
Losses of 7-2, 2-0, and 7-0.  Barn-burners!
.
And then there was Duquesne.
Went 8-2, with an average score of 32-2.  And somehow lost twice.
Beat someone 99-0.  Lost to WV 7-0 and Carnegie Mellon 3-0.  Had a wretchedly weak schedule.  
Allowed 4 scores all season and lost twice.  FFS.
.
Interesting, anyway.

There is some old CFB footage shot by Thomas Edison in n the 19-ots, and every play was a run up the middle into a gigantic pile up. The guy that came up with the pitch must have been the Mike Leach of his day.

THIS WEEK IN HUSKER HISTORY
The week of Feb. 8-14, looking back in five-year intervals

1905: In a close vote, Nebraska legislators kill a bill that would have outlawed football.

It would be tough to drum up much CFB history in February. Of course OSU played its first ever game in May, which is fairly ridiculous. So there may have been a February game at some point or another. Probably in the deep South.
