John Heisman and Michigan's 100o wins
What would you think of a first-year coach who opened the season by beating Ohio State 40-0, trouncing them a second time 50-0, and ending the season with a 24-22 victory over Michigan? Those three wins define John Heisman’s first season coaching at Oberlin. He also picked up two victories against Adelbert College, a predecessor to Case Western Reserve, and wins over Ohio Wesleyan and Kenyon. That 7-0 season came in 1892, immediately after Heisman left the University of Pennsylvania with a law — www.footballarchaeology.com
John Heisman played three fruitful seasons at the University of Pennsylvania and then went on to a legendary coaching career; his first stop was at Oberlin College, where he beat a few teams no one dreamed his team could.
