The History of College Football

By 1905 23 college football players had died playing the game. Teddy roosevelt sort of had to get involved and create a commission as to why people kept dying. The helmets weren't mandatory until 1939, they were just where like rugby style leather helmets or nothing sometimes just nothing So you got to remember that the game started being played in I believe 19 or 1867 maybe 1877 Uh, the first college football game was a win by Rutgers. It was the only one we've ever had and the onlyOne we will ever have again.
