*** OFFICIAL Terrible Tech vs Ramblin Wreck IN-GAME THREAD ***

GT vs Auburn (1921).

Check out that pumpkin.  No wonder all of the passing records came 40 years later!

Nice.  According to the Smithsonian:

As the game continued to change, the football evolved to accommodate new rules and new plays. Most notably, in the 1930s, it became longer and slimmer as the forward pass became a more dominant–and more encouraged–part of the game.
 

Cool.  Thanks for the info.   
Did it mention the leather helmets?

GT vs Auburn (1921).

Must be Aubs on offense. 
Only Aubs would wear a flat helmet.

The better to accomodate their flat heads.

This ain't that team.

And it occurred to me, despite the caption on the photo, that was GT vs Alabama Polytechnic Institute. 
University of Auburn came much later.

WOW, the guy at right has a 4-lb nose! 
The facemask came too late for him.

  He was probably the reason they invented it.

Okay, VT did nothing but run a few minutes off the clock.  Now GT has the ball for the first time, 2nd half.

 

[Chechem]

OMG, throw up a prayer and the GT gods answer. 

[2Stater]

Big catch. They should have that all night with a running QB at the helm.

[Catch Prothro]

Their first two ACC games, GA Tech had 38 and 28 points.

Time for a GT fumble, interception, etc.
