James Gilbert - Evolution of College Football Fields

I typically fill the virtual pages of Football Archaeology with combinations of words I string together to explain some element of football’s past. In honor of our national holiday, however, today’s focus is on a labor of love prepared by James Gilbert. James and I co-authored a — www.footballarchaeology.com

FootballArchaeology.com post on James L. Gilbert's fantastic work of identifying revision history graphically of the American College football field over the years.

The Kick Six Of Old

Every football fan today is familiar with the pick six, a term that came into use in the early 2000s after an NFL analyst found that teams returning interceptions for touchdowns won 77% of those games. Many also recall Auburn’s Kick-Six, when Chris Davis returned a missed Alabama field goal attempt 109 yards to win the 2013 Iron Bowl. — www.footballarchaeology.com

Timothy P. Brown reminds us of how some antiquated rules allowed a now-disallowed way of scoring.

Before There Was Pass Interference

It isn’t easy to get things right on the first go-around, as shown when the forward pass became legal in 1906. The rules heavily restricted the forward pass, and the game lacked proven throwing, catching, and route-running techniques we now consider obvious. Also missing were rules concerning pass interference. — www.footballarchaeology.com

Timothy P. Brown has dug up the dirt on what football looked like before restrictions of interference during a forward pass in this Football Archaeology post.

The Trailing Team's Choice To Kick Or Receive

We have been on a recent kick looking at the rules affecting which team boots the ball to start the game or second half, and today we get to review another oddball kicking rule. A story from a few days ago described the NCAA rule that gave the team scored upon the option to kick or receive — www.footballarchaeology.com

A look at an interesting experimental rule where a team had a choice of kicking or receiving after a score.

Frank Hinkey Gets His Bell Rung

Frank Hinkey played end for Yale from 1891 to 1894, earning All-American status all four years. Slight of build, Hinkey was a ferocious competitor and hitter, becoming the game’s premier shutdown end nearly one century before shutdown corners came into vogue. — www.footballarchaeology.com

Football Training Camp In The 1910s

It is that time of year. College football training camps are opening nationwide, almost all filled with hope, if not optimism, since we are one month from launching a new season. Most camps are held on campus nowadays, though some venture off for bonding and other purposes. — www.footballarchaeology.com

Football archaeology goes back in time to describe early gridiron training camps, who had them and what they did.

Fourth Of July Football In 1895 Butte

From football’s beginning in America’s Eastern colleges, the game was played almost exclusively in the fall. Only on the West Coast and in the Rockies did 19th-century teams play football at other times of the year, with some playing football year-round. — www.footballarchaeology.com

A football Archaeology salute to the team of the Butte Football Club Miners.

Texas Steals Big 12 Championship from Nebraska in Last-Second Thriller (2009)

On December 5, 2009, the #5 Texas Longhorns faced off against the #22 Nebraska Cornhuskers in a nail-biting Big 12 Championship showdown.

Nebraska held the lead throughout the game, but Texas fought back with a late touchdown drive. With just seconds remaining on the clock, Texas kicker Hunter Lawrence nailed a 46-yard field goal, securing a dramatic 13-12 victory and stealing the Big 12 Championship from Nebraska.

This thrilling contest, decided by a last-second field goal, cemented itself as a memorable chapter in both teams' histories and solidified the 2009 Texas Longhorns as Big 12 champions.
